What part of LA was that supposed to be?


The slimy grimy skid row bar scene that Henry was in
where you would see a sign that said "Cocktails" or
"Kenmore". Where is that? Enchino?

Hmm, don't know. But I used to live in LA and I recognise Frank And Hanks from the opening credits. It used to me my local bar. It's on Western, a couple of blocks down from 3rd, in Korea Town. A great lady called Snow runs it.

Next time I'm in LA im going to try and find them all... I HATE going to clubs where everyone is checking each other out and wearing all the latest fashions... I want cheap booze and a pool table.

The ski room one of the bars in the opening credits in now called "The Bar" on Sunset and Bronson next to a gas station.

Encino! That makes me laugh. If you want to see this scene, go to downtown L.A., by the bus station, 7th St. It's all there for you.

The Kenmore was on 6th St. east of Western. It's between Koreatown & downtown L. A.
