HISTORY OF THE SUNSET STRIP
Premier shopping, world-class dining, luxurious
hotels and legendary nightlife. The Sunset Strip
is more than a mile-plus stretch of road running
through the heart of West Hollywood. It is an
iconic locale where fashion, music, architecture
and a unique history combine. This is where
some of the greatest artists and entertainers
have and continue to make their mark.
The Comedy Store was
founded in 1972 by
Mitzi Shore. Comedians
including Jim Carrey,
Sam Kinnison, Robin
Williams and David
Letterman got their
start here. In 1975,
Bruce Springsteen
gave a breakthrough concert at The Roxy Theatre.
Many artists have been catapulted into legendary
status after stints on The Strip, including Van
Halen, Guns N’ Roses, Mötley Crüe and Neil Young.
The clubs have helped launch the careers of the
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Maroon 5, Jane’s Addiction
among others.

In the 1940s, intimate
jazz bar the Melody
Room (now the Viper
Room) is rumored to
have served as an
illicit gambling den
for gangsters Mickey
Cohen and Bugsy Siegel. The Strip gave rise
to a generation of glamorous nightclubs during
this time, including the Café Trocadero, Players
Club and Ciro’s, which was frequented by guests
Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Cary Grant and
Joan Crawford. The allure of The Strip’s
entertainment scene and its status as a private
getaway for the stars made it the country’s
premier destination.
During the 1960s and ’70s, The Sunset Strip was
revived with a new image as the center of the
counterculture movement. Concertgoers and
young adults stayed out all night to see artists
such as Buffalo Springfield, Johnny Rivers, The
Byrds and Jimi Hendrix at their favorite nightclubs. The Doors became the house band at the
Whisky A Go-Go in 1967, and night after night
Jim Morrison mesmerized the crowd with his
intense performances.
