When in LA a great music venue to visit, go doing the week and enter is the cost of a couple drinks. The drinks aren't cheap but considering you get a live band no complaints

One of LA's legendary concert joints, particularly known for good ole' rock'n'roll and worthy of its reputation.

A legendary live music club on LA's famed Sunset Blvd. Great live sound and professional staff. Backline is excellent here so don't fear bringing your guitar and plugging right into the house gear!

No longer owned by Johnny Depp, this nightclub remains a popular destination for live-music fans. Sadly, River Phoenix died outside on Halloween 1993. Check out the intimate lounge downstairs. 21+ Read more

Did you know that the venue originally opened as a jazz bar called The Melody Room?

Be nice to the guy at the door (usually Joe) and the gal in the box (usually Rita); they are beautiful assets to Viper and will take none of your shit.

Great music, drink specials, acoustics, and bands. What's not to love about this place? Bring your friends and check-in regularly: they have loyalty specials and a mayor special! ;)

One of our favorite clubs on the strip. What history it's created since 1993 and it's still going strong! TW ♥'s The Viper Room!

Indie Rock lovers: plan in advance! Viper Room is still tops for live music!

This club is so dark it feels like it’s always nighttime, even if you’re in there at 11am (which we have been). Perfect for checking out up-and-comers up close and personal. Read more

Tip those bar folks, people. Leaving a tip about tipping, yes I did.

Love the acoustic room downstairs
Roc NationJune 8, 2011
With a famous owner, Johnny Depp and a spot on the Sunset strip, it's a pretty cool club. Steer clear of the overpriced, watered down mixed drinks. Instead grab a $5 beer.
Chris ShonNovember 28, 2011
Started by Johnny Depp, you'll find a consistent stream of good music. Once in a while you'll get a crappy set.

Don't turn your back. The waitress will swipe your $10 drink before you have a chance to drink half. Then try to make u pay $150 for a table at 1:30am. Been comin here 10 years. Don't even try it.
Henrik JohanssonOctober 1, 2013
The table by right stage is definitely the one to get!

CA (See) - The Viper Room is the place of rock star royalty. Always a good time, guaranteed!
Volcom EntertainmentNovember 19, 2010
Shows here always go off, which could be in part due to the drink specials. Order a whiskey and watch the crazy happen.
Mark GilliamAugust 8, 2014
Great live music and fair prices.

Live music in an intimate venue.

Co-founded and partially owned by Johnny Depp from 1993 to 2004. Infamous as the place River Phoenix died on the morning of October 31, 1993.

If I have to tell you about this place...okay, fine. There's music. There are libations. There are scantily clad women. There are unusual sightings within and without. Did I mention there's music? Read more
