I think it was also supposed to have been used in the 1982 movie "Diner."


Anyway, does anyone have any idea about the real restaurant used for the Groovy Smoothie on "iCarly?"

I think it was also supposed to have been used in the 1982 movie "Diner."

Anyway, does anyone have any idea about the real restaurant used for the Groovy Smoothie on "iCarly?"

No, the fake diner was built specifically for "Boardwalk Empire" in the early 2010s.

As far as Groovie Smoothie, the "iCarly" place is not based on any real establishment. There a few places around the U.S. with that name, but they have nothing to do with the show.

Well, I know that Bushwell Arms was based on the Eastern Columbia Building in Los Angeles. So, there was already the possibility of a real storefront with CGI modifications.

In the meantime, check out this image from the episode "iBust a Thief;"
https://icarly.fandom.com/wiki/File:89115709.jpg
I don't know where this "Funk E. Fester's" franchise is, but I know two things; 1)It's an obvious parody of "Chuck E. Cheese's." 2)There's a sign directing motorists to Interstate 295. There is no I-295 in Seattle, so this image had to be from the east coast. And to be honest, I don't believe this was taken from either Queens or the Bronx.

Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe from "Riverdale"

The actual place where the pilot was filmed was Rocko's Diner at 32786 Lougheed Highway - Mission, BC.

The diner features milkshakes based on characters from the show like the "Archie Shake", "Betty Shake", and "Jughead Shake".

Cheers - Cheers


Just to note about Cheers, the original bar in Boston that the show was based on is still open. It was originally The Bull & Finch Pub and was renamed Cheers Beacon Hill.

A replica bar based on the one from the show opened in 2001 in Faneuil Hall. It closed in August 2020.

Sid's Cafe - Last Of The Summer Wine


In the show it was ran by husband and wife Sid and Ivy, and when the actor who played Sid passed Ivy continued to run the place.

Located in Holmfirth (town in the UK), discovered by the production of the series, it was originally being used as a paint store. After being shown on the series fans started showing up so the owner turned it into a functioning cafe and was open to customers when the series wasn't filming there. The series ended in 2010, but the cafe is still going.

Elysium from "The Lincoln Lawyer"

MacLaren's Pub from "How I Met Your Mother"


The fictional hang out spot from the show was inspired by McGee's Pub on 240 W 55th St, NYC.

Series creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays frequented McGee's when they wrote for "The Late Show with David Letterman" and it served as their initial blueprint for the bar when coming up with the sitcom.

McGee's Pub has a section on their menu called HIMYM Cocktails that are inspired from the show, such as "Barney's Blackout", "Gay Pirate", and "Ducky Tie".

The Emerald City Bar from "Grey's Anatomy" and "Station 19"



The Emerald City Bar, aka Joe's, is the frequent hang out spot of Grey Sloan Memorial's medical staff and the firefighters from SFD Station 19 as it's located across the street from the hospital.

The bar had a more prominent role during the show's earlier seasons as Steven W. Bailey, who played the owner, had a semi-recurring role on the show. Joe had a close relationship w/ the medical staff and they even helped him get a grant in order to pay for life-saving surgery.

Joe hasn't appeared onscreen since Season 7 back in 2010. Joe was one of those characters they just stopped writing for and it's assumed he is still "there" and just doesn't appear on screen or he moved on from the bar.



They filmed scenes at McMurphy's Restaurant & Tavern in Pasadena during "Grey's" Season 2 until they built a replica on set.

McMurphy's closed in 2011 and the place has since reopened as Der Wolf.

Someday from "A Million Little Things"

I don't know if it was based on a real place, but it was on the show.

Hey, I just posted a thread related to "That's So Raven" and it reminded me of "The Chill Grill."
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ravenshome/images/1/1d/CG.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/640?cb=20220325085242

According to the "That's So Raven" fandom page, the restaurant which was owned by Raven's father was at 1413 Hill Street in San Francisco. Would anybody care to look at what's really there, assuming that address exists in San Francisco?

BTW, I wasn't able to insert any of the images... again.

This is an obscure one... Moe's Diner from the "Ghost Stories" episode 'All Night Diner'


In the episode, the truck stop diner acts as a way station between this world and the next. A plain looking bus waits on stand-by to take those who are ready to move on.

Some folks just stay a short time and it's alluded that others have been there much longer... either they're waiting for other loved ones to join them or they haven't accepted their fate.

Grace's Diner from ABC's short-lived "Bus Stop" (1961-62)


Actress Marilyn Maxwell said she left the series because, "there was nothing for me to do put pour a second cup of coffee or point the way to the men's room."

"I thought the idea was to play the stories in and around the diner, so I would have things to do. But it got to be too limiting to have the characters in the drama arrive on the bus every time. The studio built a town around the bus stop and the stories began to get involved with the happenings of the town. That left Grace out in the cold, so I told them that I wanted to leave."
