Legends of The Sunset Strip - BAR CRAWL
Part stand-up comedian, and part Hollywood historian, my passion is telling the true, wild, and FUNNY stories behind my favorite city. I will walk, talk and drink with you, covering the entire historic SUNSET STRIP. I have lived in LA for my entire life, so I can give you expert advice on all the hottest spots in the city.
Let me take you on a fun and funny trip back to the moments that made Hollywood INFAMOUS. From the gangsters of prohibition to the tragic rock stars of the 1960s to the movie stars who throw wild parties in the hotels around us, THIS TOUR COVERS IT ALL.
We start at the rock clubs (The Roxy, The Whiskey A-Go-Go, The Viper Room) and evoke the ghosts of music past. Get your camera ready because once we get to Sunset Plaza, youll see all the Lamborghini's and Ferrari's you can handle. This area is where the rich and famous go to see and be seen.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Chateau Marmont, 8221 W Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90046-2484
The Chateau is still what it has always been: the place where stars hide out in plain sight (note the paparazzi pops of Drake or Drew Barrymore or Alicia Vikander coming up the drive), where writers hole up to write (or avoid writing), and where pop idols party (or sleep it off). The Chateau Marmont is Hollywoods ultimate high-thread-count clubhouse, part no-tell motel and part royal roost, where bad boys and grandees, bohemians and TMZ trash, novelists and neer-do-wells, blue-chip artists and blue-haired ladies congregate, freely mixing with the general public and the staff. Its possible that no hotel in America inspires so much nostalgia, speculation, and sheer devotion.
Stop At: Saddle Ranch Chop House, 8371 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069, USA
Saddle Ranch Chop House was founded in September 1999. Saddle Ranch Chop House is a destination restaurant where guests stay long after their plates have been cleared to enjoy a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience with friends and family.
Our concept is Rock Meets Western, which comes to life in every aspect of the construction, décor and operation of these unique restaurants. The rustic, ranch-style buildings are constructed of wood and stone, and decorated with western props and memorabilia, merging the feel of an Aspen ski lodge with the style of an old Western saloon, complete with faux balconies and saloon girls.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: The Viper Room, 8852 Sunset Blvd. at Laherty, West Hollywood, CA 90069
In the 1940s The Melody Room opened as an intimate jazz club. Mobsters Bugsy Sigel and Mickey Cohen used it as a gambling den.

He created go-go girls, dressing employees in miniskirts and shows white boots to dance in cages throughout the venue. The Doors got their start here, and in 1966 became the house band right before releasing the song Light my Fire.
