Bailey’s Bar and Grill, where the cops take McLovin, was actually the Buggy Whip restaurant in Westchester.  It was seen in several other films, including “Blow,” “The Doors” and “Date Night.”  Unfortunately, the restaurant closed in 2013 and was demolished in 2017. It could be found at 7420 La Tijera Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90045.
