    We came here to see Dear Delta which was an AMAZING band!!! The bar service was very friendly and kind. Parking attendant was helpful in where to walk for dinner. It was a sold out show and people turned away at the door, I was happy we got there early! We did not try any food there. Would for sure come back to see Dear Delta!

    I'm living a rock star dream because Courtney G was performing in the Acoustic Lounge (downstairs). Main entrance is on Sunset and a side entrance for the Acoustic Lounge is on Larrabee. There's a parking lot next to the Viper Room to park for $20-30 depending on what time you arrive. There are two floors - the main act is upstairs, while the downstairs area is small and intimate for an acoustic (1-3 person) act. The downstairs area has a full bar. Surprisingly, the downstairs area is well insulated for acoustic acts. Restrooms are upstairs and unisex. There is also a full bar upstairs with seating. Merch can be purchased at the bar.

    I went to The Viper Room last night for the first time ever. I went with a friend to attend The Emo Night Tour event. The vibe of the crowd was good. I liked that people were allowed to go on the stage and dance. There was a good sense of community amongst the crowd. The event was fun and enjoyable. The Viper Room is a small venue. It's definitely historic. I love that it's located on the Sunset Strip. I love it's past connection to popular rock artists, socialites, and Hollywood actors (RIP River Phoenix). My gripe with The Viper Room is for the door attendant working the entrance off Larabee St. on my visit. The door attendant had a bad attitude. She talked to me and other guests in a rude tone. She even warned some guests as they entered the venue's hallway before me not to talk sh** about her because she can hear them. The attitude I saw and received myself left me disappointed. Luckily, she was the only staff member who seemed to be an issue.

    I have no clue how this place has 3 stars it is the absolute epitome of "Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll" It's a straight time capsule to the late 90s and early 2000s. It is a damn shame the place is going to be demolished and should be classified as a historical landmark https://laist.com/news/the-viper-room-will-be-torn-down-and-remodeled-as-part-of-a-12-story-high-rise

    This place is rocking! Love me some Viper Room on a Friday night! The drinks are strong and the bands are good! This is a fun place to hang out and listen to live music! Love it! Happy Yelping!

    Such a dope and iconic location! We had so much fun checking out this infamous bar in West Hollywood! The band "Jeremy Sullivan" who performed the night we were here were absolutely incredible also! Such a nice surprise seeing them perform live! Great/strong drinks too and everyone who worked here seemed really nice and on it. So glad we got to check this place out! It was awesome! Highly recommend for a night cap and some good music!

    Great music venue; especially in the smaller downstairs area that has a small bar and good acoustics.

    Ask the Community - The Viper Room

    I see conflicting info on parking. Is the lot "behind" Viper the one they run or is there some other lot we should use instead? Whether it is $20 or $30 is not the issue for me, it is keeping my car safe in the official lot!

    There is a small parking lot but it is ran by All City Parking Management. There is a QR code you could scan and pay on your phone. This has less than 30 spaces so your best bet is to look for a meter parking on the street or a different parking lot.

    Do they serve food here?

    They do not. At least the night we were there it was only bar service (drinks). Really neat place though.

    I am not permitted to wear a mask for medical reasons, as it is an ambulance ride situation for me if I wear one. If I have my vax card with me for the show on 3/12/22, will I still be able to enter with my ticket?

    I'm almost sure you won't id call and confirm as they said that night it wa 4hourz until the mandates lifted

    Is this venue 18+?

    No, it's 21+

    Is it possible to come here just for drinks with friends and avoid the live bands so that we can chat and get drunk?

    You'd have to get there early, but this isn't really an intimate place to chat with friends. It's primarily a music venue, and a loud one.

    Does anyone know what they're history of orders are like? Been waiting for my beanie since July and still nothing from them, they aren't replying to me. What should I do?

    It's been 13 days for me and I haven't gotten any response ?

I had been…read moreto a different 33 taps location, but this one definitely set the bar higher and exceeded our expectations. It seemed busy, but we were seated immediately. The vibes and energy were amazing! The servers were so kind, friendly, and attentive. And don't even get me started with the food.. it was AMAZING! We couldn't stop saying how yummy everything tasted! I can't wait to go back and try out some of the different items on their menu. Absolutely zero complaints about this location.

    Do not come here unless you want to be taken advantage of during happy hour prices…read more I came here before work with the intention of happy hour. It starts at 3PM M-F. I come in at 2:58PM I go to the bar where Mitchell takes my order. I ask for a HOUSE dirty Shirley (a house drink during happy hour cost $7). He goes and makes my order and comes back. At this point it's 3:01PM. He charges me at 3:01PM keep in mind. He puts out the little card reader machine and as he does that, I hand him a $5 bill for tip. I wanted to tip him $5 since I knew my happy hour drink was $7. I tap my card and move on. I sit and I'm drinking my drink and got a notification that I got charged $15.50. As I'm looking at this charge I'm trying to make sense as to how my $7 house drink turned into $15.50. I try to justify it by saying it was tax or maybe he forgot to insert happy hour price since it WAS only one minute after it started. Whatever I don't get upset. At least 3:45PM - I call Mitchell over again and I say "can I please get the happy hour fries (advertised as $9 during HH) as well as another round of my drink (advertised as $7 during HH) that counts as happy hour right?". Mitchell says "Yes". He charges me again - I tap and I tip $18% which said was about $3.50ish. I look at my charges. I was charged $27. At this point I call my partner and I'm asking him to please help me make sense of this. I send him pictures of the menu etc. He says to ask for a receipt. I ask for my receipt for my first and second transaction and Mitchell only hands me the second one. At this point I'm super upset. I look at my receipt. He has charged me full price for my drink but he did give me happy hour price for my fries. I finally work up the courage to call him over and confront him about this. He admits that he made me pay full price for BOTH transactions. He goes over to his coworker asking to help give me a refund and I can read his body language. You could tell that he was a bit embarrassed because he got caught. He hands me a receipt showing that I'm being refunded for the second transaction of $27 and something cents. He said he was going to go check on my first transaction of $15.50 (which should have been no more than $10 with tax since house drinks are $7 during happy hour). At this point I'm making conversation with the guy next to me. Mitchell comes back hands me another receipt (I'm thinking it's the refund for my first happy hour transaction) I thank him, he apologizes and says he forgot to ring me up for happy hour. I just shrug it off but in the back of my head I'm thinking. How can you give me happy hour priced food but ring me up a second time with regular priced drink? Whatever. I continue on with my conversation with the person next to me and leave. As I get to my car I look at both "refund" receipts and notice he gave me two of the same receipts. Acting as if the second one he gave me was for the first transaction I made. Maybe it's my fault for not double checking the second refund receipt. Regardless - these charges were most definitely done on purpose with the intent of overcharging me not once but both times. I will never come here again. Please if you choose to come be aware. This is why I was never asked if I wanted a copy of my receipt. I truly hate writing reviews like these because of an interaction with a staff member. I'm sure the owner wouldn't agree with what happened to me. Pictures is my original and refunded receipt for proof of the second transaction. Again - I never got refunded for the first transaction of $15.50 like I was told.

We had the option to sit outside but the sun was beaming with no shade in sight lol. I was bummed that there wasn't air conditioning. We went during dinela so we got appetizers, main dishes and dessert. For starters, we got the guacamole and the barbacoa quesadilla. The quesadilla was fire! Another 14 of 'em! I ordered the fish tacos and my friend ordered the barbacoa tacos. We shared those. Loved the fish tacos. The barbacoa tacos, not so much. They were really dry. I assumed they would be just as good as the quesadilla but they weren't. That's okay the churros made up for it. They arrived so warm and crispy. The service was pretty good, my one critique was that the waiter brought out dessert before we were completely finished with our entrees. I only made this point because my friend ordered the sorbet and if you recall it was humid so she had to start eating it or it would begin melting. I would probably go back on cooler days because I wasn't a huge fan of the sauna experience. Valet parking is available and the restaurant validates for a cheaper price. There is also metered parking on the streets, which is where I parked.
