Sven,

While we’re passing time awaiting someone with more definitive information, I did some more internet travel and came across a “Beachcomber Bar” sufficiently steeped in history near Ensenada, but actually on the seaside at the Rosarito Beach Hotel. The hotel itself opened in 1925 or 1926, and the bar was constructed in 1940...

I couldn’t find a photo in their gallery that seemed to represent the Beachcomber Bar, but the old part of the hotel seems well adorned with stained glass, mosaics and murals...

None of what I see here features any female nudity, a Frank Bowers trademark, but the Beachcomber Bar might have treasures to be viewed that wouldn’t be displayed on a family-friendly hotel web site. There are possibilities to explore here...

And here’s a bit of serendipity brought to you by DustyCajun, filed under Zeta’s Aloha Cafe, Tijuana, Mexico (bar) thread on TC...

It seems as though the Aloha had a sister restaurant located in Rosarito called the Beachcomber. I picked up and old drink menu from the Beachcomber.

Nice drink selection from south of the border.

The back of the menu has the same image as the Aloha menu. Unfortunately the information above the image was gone from the glue that held the menu to a scrapbook, so hard to tell the relationship between the two.
