I found some more old photos of the Marina Del Rey Don's that gave me a hold-on-a-second moment. This photo from 1962 shows a different looking building than the round UFO dome we have all come to know. You can see the same building outline in the aerial photo I posted a while back. I guessing that is why the current version under construction looks like the original zig zag roof style. The building got the domed roof retrofit the late 1960s. Here is a photo of the bar area on one of the round sides. DC
