Whisky a Go Go is a nightclub and has been the launching pad for bands including The Stooges, Alice Cooper, The Doors, No Doubt, System of a Down, The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Chicago, Germs, Buffalo Springfield, Steppenwolf, Van Halen, Johnny Rivers, X, Led Zeppelin, KISS, Guns N' Roses, Death, AC/DC and Mötley Crüe. It owes its name to the first discothèque, the Whisky à Gogo, (à gogo, meaning, in French, 'in abundance', 'galore'), established in Paris in 1947 by Paul Pacini, which itself took the name from the British novel Whisky Galore.

Small dive bar with great nostalgia and a great place to see live bands. I used to hang out here in the 80's and never looked back. You can see it highlighted in the movie "The Dirt" on Netflix, a biography of sorts on Motley Crue.

Featured in almost every contemporary cinematic depiction of the Sunset Strip is The Whisky. Check them out on Tuesday Nights for a free show and proceeds that go to charity. Family friendly venue if your family isn't scared of the rock scene.
