I came across a mention of "Aloha Lounge" at the Patterson, CA Apricot Capital of the World web page:

http://www.patterson-ca.com/hotel/gateway.htm

Here's the exerpt:
"The Alberties left in June of 1957 to establish their own restaurant in Modesto and Doyle and Rosemary Wallace followed as managers. Doyle had been stationed at Crows Landing Navel Auxiliary Landing Field during World War II and married a local girl, Rosemary Borba. Later they left to operate the Aloha Lounge which they purchased. There were several managers after that, with various degrees of success. By 1960, Dad had taken a more active role in the Hotel’s day-to-day management. The dining room was under separate management with Vallera and Charlie Harris cooking lunch and serving dinners and banquets for many years. Rusty Fleming was one of the main bartenders during those years to be followed later by Ed Rodgers and then Paul Clark in the early 1970s."

So maybe this place is somewhere around Modesto?
