Hollywood-Why not- map shows it’s a little over an hour but It really depends on the time of day you go. So check Waze App because it will give you a good time to leave if you’re trying to get down to Hollywood at a certain time. I’d also recommend leaving after 10 AM and getting back before 2PM or if you’re going to brave it to stay for the night lifes then be ready for some famous LA gridlock traffic.
But there truly is so much to see in HollywoodBeverly Hills from the Paramount Studios to Rodeo Drive drive to the Hollywood sign itself, stars on Sunset strip to the Famous LA Grauman's Chinese Theatre all the famous restaurants and who knows you might even be able to see a star walking around.
It’s no secret that Hollywood is home to some of the most versatile and unique forms of entertainment. With the art of performance and entertainment deeply imbedded in the city’s roots since its early days, the amount of activities and music it has to offer can be somewhat overwhelming at times! If you ever find yourself in “the hills,” here are some of our favorite Hollywood music venues to check out: Viper Room, Troubadour, House of Blues, Rainbow Bar & Grill, Roxy Theater.
The Viper Room
8852 West Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA 90069
This sophisticated yet grungy music venue is perhaps one of the most historical spots for live music that Hollywood has to offer. Despite its subtle look from the outside, history has been made on its neon-lit stage inside. Originally known as The Melody Room in the 1940s, it attracted a wide variety of mobsters with its melodic jazz shows and laid back environment.
It sports a low-key profile, with a maximum capacity of 250 people, so it feels very intimate. Sadly, on the first day of its opening, famed actor River Phoenix died of a drug overdose. Despite the early tragedy, the venue pressed on and has hosted many famed actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Jared Leto, Tom Hanks, Drew Barrymore, and its previous owner, Johnny Depp. Bands and artists such as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Stone Temple Pilots, Oasis, Iggy Pop, Pearl Jam, and many more have performed at this colorful venue on Sunset Boulevard.
