About this experience
Come on to our walking tour presented by Junket!
People frequently picture the Walk of Fame when they think of Hollywood. But the glistening lights on the sidewalk are only one park of this city. The history and energy of rock and roll are abundant on the Sunset Strip. Before 1984, this area wasn't incorporated, so it was a little wild. Celebrities from the film industry, criminals, musicians, and tourists have all brought attention to the gambling and nightlife of the strip throughout the years. Sunset Boulevard has also been featured in a lot of television shows and movies, or it has served as inspiration for them. You will visit some of Sunset Boulevard's most well-known rock and roll hotspots during this trip, where you will learn about their history, the musicians that frequented them, and receive insider advice and suggestions for further exploration.

Itinerary and highlights
Previously a nightclub that had a pesky mobster problem, this building closed when the owner ran into financial difficulties. It reopened as The Comedy Store in 1972, the world's first all standup comedy nightclub.
This location used to be The House of Blues, the first one built west of the Mississippi. The House of Blues closed its doors in 2015, and was the place where Tupac Shakur gave his last recorded performance before his untimely death.
Opened as Mels in 1997, this location used to be a Ben Franks. Rock n' roll legends like Frank Zappa and members of The Rolling Stones hung out here.
Originally constructed as a plastic surgery practice, musician Mark Mothersbaugh bought this building in the late 1980s. Following the purchase, the building was converted into a full-service production company, which it still is today.
No stranger to scandal and tragedy, this nightclub is perhaps most famous as the site of the River Phoenix's death in the 1990s.
Truly iconic, this nightclub is where go-go dancing was born, and The Doors were the house band, before they made it big..
Priding itself on hosting established and up-and-coming groups, this theatre has witnessed the birth of many popular acts, among them Paul Reuben's "Pee Wee Herman" character.
This location was The Villa Nova from the 1940s to the 1960s, and was apparently a destination for love, having seen Vincent Minelli's proposal to Judy Garland, and Marilyn Monroe's meeting her second husband, Joe DiMaggio.
