Vintage diner & patrons (1940s)

My grandfather was a carpenter/general contractor in San Francisco, and these three photos of this diner or coffee shop were in his portfolio. I don’t have any other information about the images, but my best guess (based on clothing and other items in the pictures) is that they were taken in the late 1940s.

The bar area

Here’s the long bar with soda dispensers, milkshake blenders, what looks like a line of dessert bowls. (Click on the photo to see a larger version.)
