The tour ended in a courtyard behind the main building. Several booths had been set up and sold wares to the exiting tourists. The table cloth was decorated with inverted crosses.

A dry fountain had been decorated with potted plants. Tables were available for tourists to sit. Each table had an umbrella to protect from the hot sun.

A decorative wall surrounded the courtyard. Holes allowed a free flow of air to help cool the courtyard.

Tilework decorated one side of an arch. The tiles depicted Mission Ignacio.

Additional tiles on the other side of the same arch depicted Mission San Luis Gonzaga.

A sign next to the bar read (in Spanish):

"Bar Andaluz"

En este lugar del Riviera inventó la popular bebida "Margarita", el Bar tender Sr. David Negrete, a petición de la Sra. Margarita King Plant, dueña del entonces hotel en Agosto 21 de 1948.

Which roughly translates into:

The popular "Margarita" drink was invented by bartender Mr. David Negrete on August 21, 1948, here in the Riviera. The drink was created at the request of the Margarita King Plant which owned the hotel at that time.

Lights overhead were off during the day and became mere shadows on the umbrellas overhead.
