Jack's was on the corner or Hollywood and Vine for about 3 years, I'm thinking 1996-1999. Before that, it was across town on Pico at Robertson. It was in a free-standing building with a thatch roof, very South Seas. Still there, now holds a Chinese restaurant I think.

Right next to Jack's on Vine was the Dan-Dee Shoe Shop. Amazingly, the sign is still there, and here's a recent photo.

Jack's was to the left, where that green patch is.

Here's a picture of what the building looked like 50 or so years ago. The Dan Dee Shoe shop on the far right is STILL THERE. Jack's was right next to it in the Hody's restaurant; all those large windows had been removed.

Today there's an anonymous dance club and a tattoo parlor in the building. The billboard on top advertises a Spanish language radio station.
