Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn, both struggling to find work in the mid-90s, hammered out the screenplay for Swingers during afternoons at the Hollywood Hills Coffee Shop on the bottom floor of the Best Western near the 101 freeway. The restaurant shows up at the beginning and end of the movie and also when Trent dances on the table after their night at The Derby.
