I spotted this menu on ebay from the Beachcomber Jr. bar that was located at 745 South Hill Street in downtown Los Angeles. Very cool, but sadly it's also now a parking lot (see https://goo.gl/DBS4K4). Did a little snooping on the web and found this shot below of the block from about 1930. Too early for the Beachcomber Jr., but the Alhambra Theatre you see in the middle of the block was at 731 South Hill St. So Beachcomber Jr. was likely in the building where Herbert's Cafe is shown.
