OPEN BARS (4)
The Roxy Theatre
🇺🇸Los Angeles, United States
Opened in September 1973 by Lou Adler and Elmer Valentine, The Roxy was designed to be a high-end counterpoint to the grittier Whisky. It is historically significant for bringing theatricality to the Strip, hosting the first U.S. production of "The Rocky Horror Show" in 1974, before it became a film phenomenon.
The Bitter End
🇺🇸New York, United States
The oldest continuously operating rock and roll club in New York City, having opened its doors in 1961. Founded by Fred Weintraub, the club began as a coffeehouse during the height of the Greenwich Village folk boom. A pivotal moment in its history involves Weintraub personally chipping away the crumbling plaster of the interior to reveal the red brick wall underneath—this wall became the venue's visual signature, the iconic backdrop for thousands of performances and album covers over six decades.
Moth Club
🇬🇧London, United Kingdom
Housed in an ex-servicemen's club (Memorable Order of Tin Hats), Moth Club retains its glittering gold ceiling and 1970s social club decor. The hipster favorite for cutting-edge indie and alternative comedy.
Knucklehead
🇺🇸Los Angeles, United States
A biker-friendly dive bar in Hollywood that hosts comedy and rock shows. Carries the torch of the authentic, no-frills dive bar, a dying breed in the era of bottle service.
