Painting takes place in the 1930s, during the Great Depression. The bartender in the painting looks old. He kind of resembles an old scientist with the white coat. It doesn't look like he belongs because he is blending into the white background. It looks like it takes place during the Great Depression because everything outside is dark and empty, and the restaurant/bar is the only thing that has any light to it. The guy by himself seems to have had a bad day or trouble with the stocks, since he is sitting alone at the bar. The date couple look like their dates had problems, which led them to end up at the bar together. This takes place in Philadelphia because of the name on the outside of the bar/restaurant

The painting takes place during the Great Depression because there is not a lot of people around and the stores across the street are empty. There is also no one in the streets. The guy at the bar with his back turned looks morose, alone, and sad because of the shadows that are casted on him. This takes place in a city, probably New York City or Chicago because in the 1930s it was either rural or urban, no really in between.
