It wasn't to open for another month...October 3, 1942.
They could have visited the Hollywood USO club on Cahuenga Blvd. at that time, however. The Hollywood USO opened on February 2, 1942, until June of 1943, when it moved to a second location a block or two south on the west side of Cahuenga.
The original location was on the second floor of the building on the southeast corner of Hollywood & Cahuenga Blvds., entrance on Cahuenga (if it's the same 1943 address as now it's 1654 Cahuenga.), so the photo below is its second location. 1531 Cahuenga.

Maybe that's them standing in front, the cameraman the 4th buddy. I sure hope they got "lucky" with Barbara Stanwyck or Paulette Goddard. Charlie wouldn't have minded.
