He confirms it was indeed a real bar. He only went to it a couple of times himself. I asked about any tiki or theming and he didn't really recall any but said there might have been some. To quote him, "It was just a typical Burbank dive bar." I think that blue arrow is correct as to its location. On the very corner of the main intersection of Buena Vista and Alameda, used to be a Jack In The Box. That was torn down to make way for the Disney Day Care Center that's there now. But for sure the Pago Pago was real, and it was a favorite of many a Studio employee that wanted a drink and a drag. [ Edited by: PremEx 2006-11-08 13:24 ]
