The **Whisky a Go Go** (informally nicknamed **The Whisky**) is a historic [nightclub](/source/Nightclub) in [West Hollywood, California](/source/West_Hollywood%2C_California), United States. It is located at 8901 [Sunset Boulevard](/source/Sunset_Boulevard) on the [Sunset Strip](/source/Sunset_Strip), corner North Clark Street, opposite North San Vicente Boulevard, northwest corner. The club played a central role in the Los Angeles music scene from the 1960s through the 1990s.

## History

Whisky a Go Go, in 1966, at [Rush](/source/Rush_Street_(Chicago)) and Chestnut streets in [Chicago](/source/Chicago)

In 1958,[1] the first Whisky a Go Go in the United States opened in [Chicago](/source/Chicago), [Illinois](/source/Illinois), on the corner of [Rush](/source/Rush_Street_(Chicago)) and Chestnut streets.[2][3][4] It has been called the first real American [discothèque](/source/Discoth%C3%A8que). A franchise was opened in 1966 on M Street in the [Georgetown](/source/Georgetown_(Washington%2C_D.C.)) section of Washington, D.C., by restaurateur Jacques Vivien.

It owes its name to the first discothèque, the Whisky à Gogo, ([à gogo](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C3%A0_gogo), meaning, in French, "in abundance", "galore"), established in Paris in 1947 by Paul Pacini (d. 2017),[5] which itself took the name from the movie *[Whisky Galore!](/source/Whisky_Galore!_(1949_film))* based on the British novel *[Whisky Galore](/source/Whisky_Galore_(novel))* which was released in France as *Whisky a Gogo*.

The Sunset Strip Whisky was founded by [Elmer Valentine](/source/Elmer_Valentine), Phil Tanzini, Shelly Davis, and attorney Theodore Flier and opened on January 16, 1964.[6][7] In 1966, Valentine, [Lou Adler](/source/Lou_Adler), and others founded [The Roxy Theatre](/source/Roxy_Theatre_(West_Hollywood)).[7] In 1972, Valentine, Adler, Mario Maglieri and others started the [Rainbow Bar & Grill](/source/Rainbow_Bar_and_Grill) on the Sunset Strip.[8] Lou Adler bought into the Whisky in the late 1970s. Valentine sold his interest in the Whisky a Go Go in the 1990s but retained an ownership in the Rainbow Bar & Grill and the Roxy Theatre until his death in December 2008.[7]

Although the club was billed as a discothèque, suggesting that it offered only recorded music, the Whisky a Go Go opened with a live band led by [Johnny Rivers](/source/Johnny_Rivers) and [DJ](/source/Disc_jockey) Rhonda Lane, spinning records between sets from a suspended cage at the right of the stage. Shortly after opening, the club began booking live rock groups upon suggestion from their publicist, [Ronnie Haran](/source/Ronnie_Haran). Haran eventually hired [The Doors](/source/The_Doors) as the Whisky [house band](/source/House_band),[9] where they performed seven nights a week. In September 1969, the group [Gypsy](/source/Gypsy_(band)) took over as the house band at the club until April 1971.

The Whisky a Go Go was one of the places that popularized [go-go dancing](/source/Go-go_dancing). Elmer Valentine, in a 2006 *[Vanity Fair](/source/Vanity_Fair_(magazine))* article, recalled arranging to have a female DJ play records between Rivers' sets so patrons could continue dancing. But because there was not enough room on the floor for a DJ booth, he had a glass-walled booth mounted high above the floor.[7][10] A contest was held for the female DJ job but when the young winner called Valentine on the night of the opening and tearfully said her mother forbade her from doing it, Valentine recruited the club's [cigarette girl](/source/Cigarette_girl), Patty Brockhurst. Valentine quickly hired two more female dancers, one of whom, Joanna Labean, designed the official go-go-girl costume of fringed dress and [white boots](/source/Go-go_boot).[10]

Rivers rode the Whisky-born go-go craze to national fame with records recorded partly *Live at the Whisky*. In addition, [The Miracles](/source/The_Miracles) recorded the song "[Going to a Go-Go](/source/Going_to_a_Go-Go_(song))" in 1966 (which was covered in 1982 by [The Rolling Stones](/source/The_Rolling_Stones)), and Whisky a Go Go [franchises](/source/Franchising) sprang up all over the country.[11] Arguably, the [rock and roll](/source/Rock_and_roll) scene in Los Angeles was born when the Whisky started operation; because of its status as a historic music landmark, the venue was inducted into the [Rock and Roll Hall of Fame](/source/Rock_and_Roll_Hall_of_Fame) in 2006.[12]

The Whisky played an important role in many musical careers, especially for bands based in [Southern California](/source/Southern_California). [The Byrds](/source/The_Byrds), [Buffalo Springfield](/source/Buffalo_Springfield), [Smokestack Lightnin'](/source/Smokestack_Lightnin'_(band)), and [Love](/source/Love_(band)) were regulars, and [the Doors](/source/The_Doors) were the house band for a while. [Van Morrison](/source/Van_Morrison)'s band [Them](/source/Them_(band)) had a two-week residency in June 1966, with the Doors as the opening act. On the last night they all jammed together on "[Gloria](/source/Gloria_(Them_song))." [Frank Zappa](/source/Frank_Zappa)'s [the Mothers of Invention](/source/The_Mothers_of_Invention) got their record contract based on a performance at the Whisky. [The Turtles](/source/The_Turtles) performed there when their newest (and biggest-selling) single "[Happy Together](/source/Happy_Together_(song))" was becoming a hit, only to lose their new bassist, [Chip Douglas](/source/Chip_Douglas) (who had arranged the song), to [the Monkees](/source/The_Monkees); guitarist [Michael Nesmith](/source/Michael_Nesmith) invited him to become their [producer](/source/Record_producer) (he returned to the Turtles a year later, to produce them). [Neil Diamond](/source/Neil_Diamond) also played at the Whisky on occasion. [Metallica](/source/Metallica) bassist [Cliff Burton](/source/Cliff_Burton) was recruited by the band after they watched him play a show there with his band Trauma. At one point, singer and actress [E.G. Daily](/source/E.G._Daily) had a residency at the Whisky.

The Whisky a Go Go in 2007

[Arthur Lee](/source/Arthur_Lee_(musician)) of Love immortalized the Whisky in the song "Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale". "Here they always play my songs," he would sing on the side-two opener of *[Forever Changes](/source/Forever_Changes)*. The Whisky was located on the strip between the streets Clark and Hilldale. British rockers [Status Quo](/source/Status_Quo_(band)) also referenced the venue in their 1978 song "[Long Legged Linda](/source/If_You_Can't_Stand_the_Heat...)" with the lines, "Well, if you're ever in Los Angeles and you've got time to spare / Take a stroll up Sunset Boulevard, you'll find the Whisky there." [Loggins and Messina](/source/Loggins_and_Messina) sang about the club in their tune "Whiskey", found on their 1972 album *[Loggins and Messina](/source/Loggins_and_Messina_(album))*.

In 1966, the Whisky was one of the centers of what fans call the [Sunset Strip curfew riots](/source/Sunset_Strip_curfew_riots). In the mid-1970s, the Whisky hosted stage presentations, including the long-running show *The Cycle Sluts*. During the early 1990s, the Whisky hosted a number of [Seattle](/source/Seattle)-based musicians who would be a part of the [grunge movement](/source/Grunge), including [Soundgarden](/source/Soundgarden), [Mudhoney](/source/Mudhoney), [Melvins](/source/Melvins), [Fitz of Depression](/source/Fitz_of_Depression) and [7 Year Bitch](/source/7_Year_Bitch).[13] Tracks recorded from a February 12, 1992 concert of [Hole](/source/Hole_(band)) appear on their [EP](/source/Extended_play), *[Ask for It](/source/Ask_for_It)* (1995). In 1994, [Oasis](/source/Oasis_(band)) played a controversial set at the Whisky, with frontman [Liam Gallagher](/source/Liam_Gallagher) visibly intoxicated. Immediately following the gig, lead songwriter [Noel Gallagher](/source/Noel_Gallagher) temporarily left the group out of frustration, fleeing to [San Francisco](/source/San_Francisco), where he penned the song "[Talk Tonight](/source/Talk_Tonight)". In 1997, [System of a Down](/source/System_of_a_Down) played at the Whisky. The band were unsigned at the time, and played songs from their early demo tapes, in particular containing the band's only live performance of the song "Blue".

### Today

On September 12, 2016, Whisky a Go Go launched an official TV channel on the [Roku](/source/Roku) [Connected TV](/source/Connected_TV) platform. The Whisky a Go Go channel opens the Whisky's doors to a global audience with live music videos, full concerts and related content spanning its 60-year history.[14]

On May 9, 2025, a dump truck crashed into Whiskey a Go Go, as well as several vehicles and an electrical pole. The incident forced the cancellation of the night's scheduled concert, which was to feature bands including [Boy Hits Car](/source/Boy_Hits_Car), Barefoot in the Bathroom, and Gearheart.[15]

## Honors

A gene that codes for a subunit of a common [potassium ion channel](/source/Potassium_ion_channel) was named for the establishment in the 1960s by William D. Kaplan and William E. Trout. The human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene ([hERG](/source/HERG)) was so named because when [Drosophila](/source/Drosophila) flies with mutations in the [Ether-à-go-go](/source/Ether-a-go-go_potassium_channels) gene are anaesthetised with [ether](/source/Diethyl_ether), their legs start to shake, like the dancing at the Whisky a Go Go nightclub.[16]

## In popular culture

Starting in issue #7 of the [Marvel](/source/Marvel_Comics) comic, [Uncanny X-Men](/source/Uncanny_X-Men), the similarly titled "Coffee-a-Go-Go" became a common hangout spot for the team to take dates to.

The 2013 videogame *[Grand Theft Auto V](/source/Grand_Theft_Auto_V)* features a nightclub known as Tequi-la-la, which is based on Whisky a Go Go.[17]
