Bit of a cheat this one, as it's a fictional location based on a fictional location, which later became a real one.

Rick's Café was opened in Casablanca, Morocco in 2004, designed to replicate Humphrey Bogart's famous watering hole from the movie named after the city. The Moorish arches and grand piano of Café Calavera, from Tim Schafer's noir masterpiece Grim Fandango, clearly match Rick Blaine's decor. Both are a perfect place to relax as time goes by.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
