Business Description from the Web

Ask any musician in town and they'll tell you it's an honor to play at the world famous Whisky a Go-Go. Opened in 1964 and known as the place where the Doors' Jim Morrison romped on stage with reckless abandon and where the Byrds became legends, the Whisky is a historical music landmark. The club has seen music trends come and go, from hippie-love folk to big-haired glam to grunge. This stage... more

The bar won't serve anything in glass, so stick to beer and simple drinks. This isn't the place if you're in the mood for the perfect martini.

The Scene This monstrous, two-story structure glows like a neon beacon across the Strip, but the bold exterior underscores the simplicity of the interior. Dark cavernous corners, bare, black walls and sticky floors give it a dive bar ambience, despite the trendy location. Rock fans of all ages gather on the dance floor to absorb everything from green alt rockers to heavy metal heroes.... more

I visited the Whiskey on a Tuesday night to watch a local band. I was not happy about how unfriendly the bouncers at the door were. I'm 40 years old and they treated me as if I was a 16 year old punk trying to get in to party. I did like how the sound mixer was very concerned about how all the bands were sounding. They put reserved signs on the tables only for people that bought $100.00 or more... more

What the hell happened? The bands aren't good, security treats folks like animals with searches for knives and guns, it draws hip-hop hoods with "bling" who try to sell CD's (and get violent if you don't buy), and the bookers are real exclusive now.

So I went there to see a friend's band, which was awsome, but I was constantly irritateted by the staff and confused by the crowd. Now I'm old school, like 23, so I think rock concert I think movement- there was no movement from anyone, but my group. Head nodding was a rarity in the crown that had come to see rap/rock. What left me never wanting to come to this venue ever again, however, was... more
