Exterior from the public sidewalk. Theatre interiors require an event ticket or permission.
Open street map ↗︎Johnie’s is the coffee shop where the Dude and Walter debate the severed toe. Its sweeping roof is part of the city’s roadside design history.
Johnie's Coffee Shop ↗︎The Big Lebowski · Johnie’s Coffee Shop ↗︎
Historic former coffee shop; view the exterior from public pavement. Do not assume restaurant service or interior access.
Open street map ↗︎Point Dume is documented as a location associated with The Big Lebowski (1998). The pin identifies the site; individual shots and interior sets can differ.
Coastal park; stay on open marked paths and check beach access. Tony Stark’s mansion is a digital creation, not a house here.
Open street map ↗︎Sunken City is documented as a location associated with The Big Lebowski (1998). The pin identifies the site; individual shots and interior sets can differ.
Closed, unstable landslide area. Do not enter beyond fences or approach cliff edges; this is a historical location record, not an invitation to enter.
Open street map ↗︎Greystone supplied interiors for the wealthy Lebowski’s home. The screen mansion combines different real places, so the grounds alone will not reproduce the complete scene.
The Big Lebowski · Johnie’s Coffee Shop ↗︎
Public grounds and controlled mansion interiors. Check estate closures and tour availability.
Open street map ↗︎Musso & Frank Grill is documented as a location associated with The Man Who Wasn’t There (2001). The pin identifies the site; individual shots and interior sets can differ.
