Whisky a Go Go

The Whisky a Go Go occupies a corner location at 8901 Sunset Boulevard, featuring a compact stage and space for 500 guests.

The venue opened its doors on January 16, 1964, becoming a cornerstone of American rock music and earning induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.

The establishment introduced suspended glass-walled DJ booths and created a platform for numerous bands including The Doors, Buffalo Springfield, and The Byrds.

The club maintains regular musical performances seven nights per week, welcoming both established acts and emerging artists across multiple genres.

The venue pioneered the concept of female DJs performing between live sets, leading to the creation of elevated dance platforms that influenced American club design.
