To answer OP, the Bamboo Lounge scene in GoodFellas was indeed shot at the Hawaii Kai, in '89, not too long after it had permanently closed.

Vincent Pastore (Big Pussy in The Sopranos) was in that scene, and I just talked to him about it.

The scene itself unravels like magic and I could just watch it over and over...
