This is the restaurant of the "Hotel California" that the Eagles sang about on one of their albums and which became a big hit in 1977. The photo was made in 1981, as part of an effort to save the hotel from destruction. The hotel was finally razed about 1984.
Some of the lyrics were:
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place....
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year...
