About Sunset Strip

The Sunset Strip is the stretch of Sunset Boulevard that runs through West Hollywood, from the Los Angeles border on the east to Beverly Hills at Phyllis Street. You can walk past rock venues such as the Whisky a Go Go, the Roxy Theatre, the Viper Room and the Rainbow Bar & Grill. Its clubs were a hub of the 1960s counterculture and the 1980s Los Angeles heavy metal scene. Huge, colorful billboards hang over the route.
