I thought the vinegar implied that Harry was going to slather the girls in it if they became sunburned. (my mom used to put vinegar on my sunburns)
Looking across Douglas Park in Santa Monica [1970s?]
old file / I thought I had found in the usc archives but I can't locate it again.
If you across the park toward Wilshire, you'll see 'Casa Escobar' on the left and the 'Round Table' restaurant on the right.
Here's a couple more photos of 'Casa Escobar' (I haven't found anything on the 'Round Table')
"The building that houses Casa Escobar is very interesting. It was built by the original owner, Carlos "Choppo" Escobar in 1965. The interior is dark as a cave,
with twinkling lights in the piano bar. There's lava rock on the exterior. Yes, this is a throw-back to another time. " - Ellen Bloom in 2013

I especially like the 'boomerang' arched entrance-way. (also visible in the Douglas Park photo at the top)

Sadly, the archway has been chopped off.

Truncated
Other than that disappointing development, the restaurant looks pretty good.
Here it is most recently.
