What better place to begin? Billy Wilder made Sunset Boulevard (1950) more than 70 years ago, but the glamor and mystery of Old Hollywood still hangs heavy in the air along this iconic roadway. Stop for refreshments at the lobby bar of the Pendry West Hollywood (8430 Sunset Blvd.), located in the former House of Blues, which itself was featured in ...
8024 Sunset Blvd. (corner of Sunset and Crescent Heights) In the 1930s, Schwab’s Pharmacy—a hair over the border from West Hollywood to Hollywood—was a prime hangout of studio bigwigs and movie stars like Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland and Orson Welles. When rumor began to spread that a young Lana Turner was discovered while drinking a milkshake at ...
8358 Sunset Blvd. Ever since this dazzling art deco hotel was built in 1931, it has been a hotspot for LA’s glitziest set. Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable and Errol Flynn all called the Sunset Tower home, as did gangster Bugsy Siegel. Perhaps the hotel’s most legendary resident was John Wayne, who reportedly kept a milk cow on his balcon...
8901 Sunset Blvd. Whisky a Go Go may be better known for its rock ‘n’ roll history, but this venerable music club has also been featured in several movies. Appropriately, it was a filming location of Oliver Stone’s The Doors (1991)—Jim Morrison was a Whisky regular and The Doors served as the venue’s house band for several months in 1966. It has al...
9015 Sunset Blvd. Another rock ‘n’ roll institution of the 1960s, Rainbow Bar & Grillwas also the scene of Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio’s first date. At the time, the Rainbow was an Italian restaurant called Villa Nova. On March 8, 1952, the movie star and the Yankees slugger sat down for what was the first of many dates in their storied romance...
9071 Santa Monica Blvd. Geographically, West Hollywood lies between Beverly Hills, where many stars, directors and producers lived, and the film studios of Hollywood and points east, where those same people worked. This is still the case today, but it was especially true in the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s, when the Los Angeles film industry had an ultra-c...
8826 Melrose Ave. Most of the locations featured in this guide revolve around classic Hollywood, but to spot the stars of today, head to Craig’s. Heralded by the Observeras “the best place in LA to spot celebrities,” this upscale restaurant has been visited by everyone from George Clooney to Kim Kardashian. You’ll know you’ve arrived at the right p...
8687 Melrose Ave. This massive blue building in West Hollywood’s Design District is a furniture and design showroom by day, but its striking interiors and exteriors have been used in several film and television appearances. It was a futuristic apartment block where Sandra Bullock’s character lived in Demolition Man (1993). And in season one of HBO’...
8565 Melrose Ave. This local-favorite café and coffee shop on Melrose is an under-the-radar celebrity hotspot. Not only was Urth Caffé featured as a frequent filming location of HBO’s Entourage, it’s a real-life hangout of stars such as Jake Gyllenhaal, Katy Perry, Kylie Jenner and Jessica Alba.
8447 Santa Monica Blvd. Free of pretense and chock full of history, Barney’s Beanery has been a Santa Monica Boulevard staple since 1920. It’s seen its fair share of famous clientele in those 100 years, including Clark Gable, Rita Hayworth, Marlon Brando and, more recently, Quentin Tarantino, who reportedly wrote the bulk of Pulp Fiction (1993) her...

- See huge stand-up stars drop in at the Comedy Store. Comedy. Comedy clubs. West Hollywood. price 2 of 4. Of all the old-school stand-up rooms, the Comedy Store is the only one that’s managed to keep its lineups consistently fresh and funny while staying true to its seedy Sunset Strip roots (it dates back to 1972, when it took over a space that was once the notorious club Ciro’s).
