Where was the actual location of their office??


Where was this series filmed? Did Dino's Lodge actually exist?

From an article in the short-lived magazine 'Television Chronicles' (Issue Number 12, January 1998): "Dino's Lodge (also duplicated at Warner Bros.) was a successful nightclub owned by Dean Martin next door at 8524 Sunset. In later years, it became Chez Denis and over the last year (1997), the entire block, owned for many years by Western International Media Corp., has been completely rebuilt as offices for the company whose headquarters occupied the old Playboy building one block west."

Dino's was at 8524 Sunset Blvd. The building where Bailey and Spencer had their offices was next door at 8544. Both are now gone, but there is a plaque in the sidewalk commemorating the famous location.

Dean Martin had two Dino's Lodges. The famous one on Sunset Bl. and another one out in the San Fernando Valley on Ventura Bl.

Hopefully when the crap box development that now occupies that site is actually finished the unlovely city of West Hollywood will uncharacteristic put the 77 Sunset Strip plaque back if they had a shred of decency.
But I somehow doubt it.
They don't care.
