In this episode of "CLAIRE" the once famous Jacks at the Beach lounge was featured.
From my understanding Jacks was located in Santa Monica on the pier...
Is that correct? Please let me know.

90¢ for a Scotch and Water?
Now that is a bar I could go to!
$10.00 and your drunk for a week!
Found some more specific info.
From "Hometown Santa Monica: The Bay Cities Book" in Google Books:
"...Today not even a plaque marks its [POP- Pacific Ocean Park] location (between Venice's Rose Avenue and Santa Monica's Ocean Park parking lots)..."

Also, the apartment building(s) can be seen if you Google Street View, or go to Bing.com maps and get a bird's eye view of the intersection of Neilson Way and Hill St. in Santa Monica, which is near Rose Avenue.

At the end of the Claire episode Jackie Cooper pulls up in a black and white squad car (AMC) that was used in Adam-12. the 0 1 2 is on the sides of the "Reds" as Pete Malloy would call them.
As always Don, Thank You!
howdy - just a note that the "White Owl Lounge" that Jim goes to visit Claire in is now "Michael's Market & Liquor" at 7510 Woodman in Van Nuys. here's a link to what it looks like now... and it also looks like the adjacent gas station that Jim passes when he pulls into park is now a vacant lot
thanks

According to the CPI, $0.90 in 1975 is equivalent to $3.99 in 2015 -- still a pretty spectacular price for a cocktail in an oceanside bar. The price in a modern equivalent to Jack's in Santa Monica is going to run you something like $12-15. No room for Rockfords in this world anymore.
He knows Jack .
Where bugsy Siegel had his last meal
I was the last person to work outside on the old POP pier as a parking attendant for Jacks at the Beach. They were tearing it down all during '74. Each day I'd come to
work to find more missing. Yet still the stars came for dinner. Cagney, Newhart and Rickles, Gregory Peck, etc. That parking attendant sign left near the door was locked up the night before by me. '70s L.A. - fraying at the seams but still classy and full of character.
The zoo that Rockford and Claire met up at, was that the same zoo used in the opening credits of later seasons of Three's Company? It sure looked like it to me.

Yes, same zoo.... good eye!
In the opening scene of the Drive-In Classic "Hot Cars" (1956) John Bromfield and Joi Lansing drive to Jack's At The Beach in a 1956? Mercedes-Benz 190SL. You can see inside, outside and the whole area in the vicinity of the bar. Pretty cool if you're interested seeing more of the sights and a Great "B" movie in living Black & White!
