Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:20:49 GMT

The Sunset Strip is in a sexy and sophisticated phase. The famous boulevard has gone through many different musical guises over the past several decades, from the riotous go-go hotspots and legendary stage debuts of the ‘60s and ‘70s, to the metal mayhem of the ‘80s, to the velvet-roped DJ ragers of the ‘90s and early 2000s. Post-COVID restrictions, this part of West Hollywood seems to have bounced back, but in a more glam, grown-up way, with intimate rooms like The Sun Rose providing superstar-driven music moments that harken back to the area’s illustrious Old Hollywood heyday and inception.You can still cruise up the Strip to rock out at the Roxy and Whisky or dance the night away at Hyde or Bootsy Bellows, but those of us who’ve been there/done that, seek a more curated kind of nightlife these days. The 150-capacity Sun Rose has blossomed into a hot spot thanks to its sleek, color-saturated yet warmly lit surroundings, interactive spirit, and focus on elevating the shared crowd e...
