The Viper Room is a famous nightclub located on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California. Opened in 1993, it quickly became known for its intimate atmosphere and live music performances, attracting both emerging and established artists. The venue has a capacity of around 250 people, making it a popular spot for fans to see their favorite musicians up close. The club gained significant media attention due to its association with various celebrities, including Johnny Depp, who was one of the co-owners. Tragically, it was also the site of the untimely death of actor River Phoenix in 1993, which further cemented its place in pop culture history.
