Shit...google doesn't even have Silver Platter listed... It's like 6th and Hoover, in that area...

I DO BELIEVE I'VE FOUND IT! This picture depicts Big Ed's, which, one can see, is right next to Hotel Adams, which I come to find out was used in part with Gone With The Wind: (read left column), which states that address as 3896 Main Street, Culver City. Then, I look at the picture of Big Ed's, what's that cross street? Main. It should have been on this corner.
Well?!
Well?!
Shit- I don't know what happened with that link. Try again..

I'm convinced so far that this is the location. Due to my error, it may seem as though I haven't done my homework, but I've checked this website, following yr feeds, for some time, all the while doing my own investigating; the picture of Big Ed's was a big piece to the puzzle. This is where it led me.

If anyone wants to see those bars, only Smog Cutter and Silver Platter are still there (and Jumbo's Clown Room - wasn't that in that opening montage? I don't see it in the list). The bar they filmed in is gone, the hotel they filmed a lot of stuff in is gone. The apartment by MacArthur park is still there...
Barbet would have had a list (and Polaroids) of every location they scouted and used. There is probably a lot of interesting information in the production materials. Depends on how much of that stuff they saved. In the mid 80s there wasn't an aftermarket for those things like there is now, so a lot of it was just tossed into dumpsters after production.

Slight update to the list above:
The Sunset : 1537 West Sunset (Gone - now a car park)
The Sunset : 1537 West Sunset (Gone - now a car park)
The Hollyway : 1616 West Sunset Blvd - (Now a branch of H & R Block)
You can actually go IN The Frolic Room on Google Maps.
Let's see if this link works..

Last year, I've been there drinking with Pamela 'Cupcakes' Miller, Joan Jobe Smith and Fred Voss. Nice place. Only the music was a bit too loud for conversation.
Greetings-
As a fan of Charles Bukowski and the film Barfly (and Factotum), I've been directed here via "Where's The Longhorn in Barfly?" I wouldn't doubt some of you have found your way here just the same. Anyway, after reading through some of these, I must say you guys have really done your homework. And had fun doing it, it seems. My favorite sections have to be the bar locations from the opening and closing credits, as well as what seems to be the actual former location or the Longhorn. I was really surprised- I thought this stuff would definitely be lost to history. Lo and behold, I watch Barfly and Factotum last night, and here I am. Happy to have found this, keep up the good work.

Ski room was my favorite bar (hence my handle), became Rajis at some point in the early 90's. Boulevard Inn was between Vermont and Normandie, if I remember. Another great bar was The Gaslight, hidden off Cosmo Lane in Hollywood. Boardners was another legendary bar. Too many.... spent way too much time in them.

Officials say drugs may have played a part
Does anyone know what the address was for Sanford & Son?
Same thing happened to Dick Shawn (LSD from the Producers). He collapsed onstage at a performance and
laid (lay?) there for apparently several minutes before they realized it wasn't part of the act. He died, of course.
Now go to bed children, for soon Santa will be here.

Good day-
I found a few other mentions of both Adams Hotel and Big Ed's, the more well-documented of the two findings being an episode of "Hunter." I found this particular episode on Youtube, but the quality is shit, but that's alright because someone documented the entire episode on a Tumblr account:
I also checked a few sources for old layouts of this specific block, but that was also choppy. Oh well!
Also this episode:
This episode on Youtube is much better quality than the one above, and also has a nice walk around the building, as well as a view of the front! Plus, there is some footage of what is probably the same back alley from the Henry/Eddie fights, although it isn't recognizable in correlation to the movie scenes. Bonus anyway, fuck it
[Dead video link.]
Cheers
