Whisky a Go Go - History, Location & Key Facts 2022

The basics

Considered one of the country’s most important rock ‘n’ roll landmarks, Whisky a Go Go has been a City of Angels legend for close to 60 years, from the beginnings of the go-go era to the heights of hair metal and beyond. Known for its French boudoir aesthetic and small capacity—the venue fits just 500 listeners—Whisky a Go Go has nevertheless hosted a huge array of musical legends, from Mötley Crüe and Van Halen to Cream and Oasis, in its time. The venue is still active today, and its busy events calendar includes concerts most evenings.

Whisky a Go Go features on a wide range of tour itineraries, from bike tours and West Hollywood neighborhood excursions to Sunset Strip crawls. It’s also simple to plan an independent visit to enjoy a night of live music on site.

Things to know before you go

Whisky a Go Go is an all-ages venue, though select events are 18+ or 21+.
To simplify your visiting experience, book in advance online, over the phone, or at the box office (note that the box office only accepts cash).
Limited seating is available on the venue’s second floor, and it also hosts five VIP booths on the ground floor.

How to get there

Whisky a Go Go sits on the corner of West Sunset Boulevard and San Vicente. To reach it using public transportation, take local bus services, including the 2, 30, 105, 302, and 330. If you plan to drive, there is also a valet parking lot directly beyond the venue; rideshare services offer another accessible way to visit.
