Sunset Strip Reviews

We made it our business to visit all different areas of Los Angeles and this one had some interesting eateries which we enjoyed

The iconic Sunset strip is all about party and dining. Pay a visit to the Rainbow Bar and Grill to hang out with rockstars and legends. Or, do the opposite and visit the Sunset Plaza where you'll find Equinox Gym.. Green Juices and Raw food

So here I am, residing in the 1 Hotel West Hollywood, which is located on the world-famous Sunset Strip, the 1.6-mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard in the community of West Hollywood where there may be no greater concentration anywhere of the young, hip and beautiful people than in the bars and nightclubs along this legendary roadway. The Sunset Strip passes through West Hollywood from its eastern border to the western border of Beverly Hills. It is known for boutiques, restaurants, rock clubs, nightclubs and huge, colorful billboards, a blend of pop culture and glamour. Locals and visitors are enamored by the swanky hotel rooftops of the Mondrian's SkyBar and the Sunset Tower Hotel's Tower Bar to the rock clubs such as The Viper Room and Whiskey a Go Go to iconic comedy clubs such as The Laugh Factory and the Comedy Store or the Roxy, where the Rocky Horror Picture Show premiered in 1974. Enjoy a cocktail at The Den on Sunset or a glass of Irish whiskey at Rock and Reilly's Irish Pub. Looking to see celebrities you might recognize? The bar at the Chateau Marmont and the cocktail bar at the Standard are sleek spots to see and be seen. The Sunset Strip is for shoppers, too. Like the Sunset Plaza, which features more than 20 stores, including Armani and H&M. Book lovers, like me, don't miss the iconic Book Soup, Los Angeles' largest independent book store with floor-to-ceiling shelves that contain more than 60,000 titles.

Diving West to East on the Sunset Strip starting at (almost) the beach, you go through a variety of neighborhoods - from the upper class every-day neighborhoods, Past the semi-mansions of Beverly Hills (larger homes are off on the side streets), Through West Hollywood and some names of places you may have heard about (whiskey a go-go, The Comedy store, etc.) and into Hollywood. if this is your first visit to Hollywood, you may be disappointed in the amount of filth and how run down some of the areas are as you travel East. Definitely worth doing though to say you have done it

This has for well over a half century been THE center of Southern California's nightlife. In the 50's it was ringed with clubs and strip joints and in the 60's and early 70's was Hippie Haven.

It quieted down for a while but now is back to an always busy, crazy place.

Well I was unimpressed and stayed for only 5 minutes.....yes there are stars with peoples names all over and the Chinese theater has hand/foot prints from some famous people......but , only if you have to say you have been there. That's why I went but left after 10 minutes.

This is an amazing strip that buzzes with energy and life at all times of day or night. There are many famous places along the way such as the Viper Rooms and various comedy clubs and bars. There are loads of really cool people around and all the bars and eateries are packed! But happy to welcome you in. Loved it on the strip.

If you grew up in the 80's listening to hair bands, no matter where you were in the world - you have heard of the Sunset Strip. It's a great place to visit. All the places in the songs of yesterday are still here - Roxy, Whiskey, Rainbow. There are some great places to eat here so come over hungry - Dough is one of them.

Too many memories on the Sunset Striip to mention. Yes, I went to visit it recently and it changed like all things do, but some places do remain. From the variety of clubs wiith history that goes beyond any history book - you had to be there, to the moments you create for yourself. Bring a camera and point the camera to others, not self! Carefully though as some vehemently do not want their picture taken and they are not necessarily stars! Yes, go to the famous clubs, but also, the tiny shop and alternative areas. Be careful, especially at night. I used to play guitar in a studio off Sunset Blvd. and it was a fine time. So much to see and if you see Hugh Jackman (good luck) send me a photo! (-;

Filthy street. Lots of homeless. Seedy stores. An occasional nice hotel or restaurant. It might have been nice once but not today.

If you are in hollywood, beverly Hills or the surrounding areas this is a must stop if youre a music fan. Lots of legendary places and you can still catch great concerts here.

Sunset Strip, West Hollywood, CA - One the home of the site of the TV show "77 Sunset Strip", the area offers lots of shopping, restaurants and other activities for your trip to the Los Angeles area. Close to Santa Monica & the Pier at Santa Monica, beaches, etc.

Sunset strip, like the rest of LA has seen better days.
It is run down and in parts, very seedy! I walked the length of it some years ago when it was a pretty good happening place, but time has taken its toll!
By all means, give it a go or drive down it if you are in LA - just don't expect much.

Hollywood is DEFINED by "THE STRIP" - it's got everything you come to L.A. for. Great places to eat - tons of things to see and enjoy - lots to excite and sometimes even SHOCK your senses....
The Strip has ALOT to see and do - decide what excites and you can find it on the strip.

Cruised the sunset strip to view all the sights. Traffic is sometimes an issue. Would suggest parking and walking the area.

I think we all picture this sort of mythical place a little bit different, however it is full of pop history and it doesn't disappoint, it might look like not much but once you know the facts about all that has happened there it makes more sense to experience it

So many great shopping options and restaurants/ clubs galore! Fun to just even drive on or people watch!

Lots of bars, restaurants, tattoo parlors, probably drug dealers... a little something for everyone!

Don't waste your time here. Literally the only reason to go here is if you are staying at the chateau marmount.

You read about it and now Frisco has been there. Dripping with California-ism the Strip is a must see for all rockers, hipsters, rappers, humans. Restaurants, bars, billionaires and east coast deserters. Part of America everyone should see.

Subset Strip is a geeat place to have a stroll. So many fantastic places to eat both on the Strip and on the many side streets leading off it.
Lots of glitz and glamour as you'd expect from Hollywood and we really enjoyed it.
Some good places to sit and sip a cold drink and just watch the glamourous shoppers go by.

Went through by car and there really isn't much to see apart from the sig itself, do yourself a favour and just buy a postcard.

Love this spot, so many cool bars/pubs on the strip to enjoy in the day or night - worth a visit when in LA!

We were staying a block from Sunset Boulevarde and explored a number of areas along Sunset strip. The range of restaurants, bars and shops and the various walks of life on the strip make for a fantastic experience. Worth the visit

tired..boring..dirty and a constuction zone.Yes,all the famous bars and clubs are there but they are dirty,dated and tired.......no glamour or cool here.....just boring

If you are in LA, you kinda HAVE to drive along the sunset strip. Maybe even listen to a playlist with songs that mention it. There is ALWAYS something happening, lots of people, famous mixed within. Something for everyone.

Not a vast amount going on Sunset Strip although it is very long so I'm sure I didn't see it all. Stayed in the Best Western Hotel on the strip so got to see quite a bit of it over the week. Head towards Holywood and you come to the walk of fame. Good touristy spot where lots of tour companies operate.

Not the greatest place to walk around, but people watching is pretty interesting. Older stores up and down the street, but still an interesting place to visit.

Love Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood...not Hollywood....difference is location and location and location...West Hollywood Sunset Blvd equals clubs, dinning and shopping and Hollywood Sunset Blvd equals low rent shopping, dirty streets and street walkers.

Sunset Blvd changes for the better west of Fairfax Blvd....new up and coming Sunset Blvd in Hollywood is between Highland Blvd and Vine St....both sections are a good visit for tourist and locals looking for atmosphere.

Lots of fun and heaps to look at. So much shopping so wear good shoes. Heaps of local transport to get buy as cabs are expensive.

The quote un quote music scene is dead here. Pay to Play hopefuls still think they will shoot the moon. The Highway of Dreams became the Parking Lot of Nightmares. Don't buy into anything around here its a bad scene.

Great area to walk around in. Safe and had a lot of restaurants, shopping, etc
Don't need a day to spend in this area, just nice to walk around.

Many empty businesses, lots of construction going on.
Sidewalks blocks and nothing like he area used to be.

Always have loved this little area. I love Le Petite and Chin Chins, two sidewalk cafes with fun vantage points for Hollywood people watching. Love the little shops like H Lorenzo. There is parking too.

I love the music scene, the Whisky, Roxy, Viper Room. I love being here. Stay at the Marmont, eat at Mel's or Carney's. I wish I lived here and hopefully soon will.

Lots of history there obviously and if you take one of the tours like the TMZ one, you'll hear about tons of those stories! NIce and historic but overall old and nothing fancy to be honest.

It's kind of dirty, it's busy and hard to park, but as long as the old school cool places are still there, the Rainbow, Viper, Whisky, Comedy Store and Chateau Marmont to name a few, being there is pretty cool!

Sunset Strip is a stretch of Sunset Boulevard which leads from West Hollywood to Beverly Hills. I was very impressed by the huge number of boutiques, restaurants and nightclubs.

el compadre is the best. Hunt for guitars in this block as well. Stroll all the way to The Rainbow Bar and Grill - make sure the batteries are charged in your camera.

Something for everyone to enjoy. Lots of things to do. Dance. Drink. Eat. Site see. Comedy clubs. Shop. Get a tattoo?

We loved staying just off the sunset strip @ the sunset marquis. We were a short walk to coffee/breakfast, dining at night, cocktails, shopping, etc

We took the tour bus down the strip during the day and saw all the famous night clubs. Looked down on its heels. Took a taxi out there in the evening and it seemed to have a bit more life. Went into one or two clubs and it was ok but not really my scene.

Several bars/clubs to enjoy. We didn’t attend any shows while there-Whiskey a Go Go was sold out that night. 😞If you were big into 80’s rock (as I was)you’ll enjoy seeing this area. A piece of history-where many popular bands spent their early years trying to make it big.

In summer time, this place is feels deserted. Due to the heat and the great distances, people just take their cars to the places they wanna go, so no people walking in the streets (apart from to and from the parking lots). Also: huge distances between places. Not really an opportunity to be spontaneous. My tip is to do as the locals: know where you wanna go and take the car there.

Experience the feeling of Sunset Strip...when the biggies lived and partied! The palm tree lined street makes you feel that you have gone back in time almost expecting to see iconic stars that made Hollywood magical.

Sunset Strip is vibrant...from Whisky A GoGo, the Viper Room, the Comedy Store and Laugh Factory...to a cocktail or two at Chateau Marmont Hotel. There are plenty of designer stores and amazing restaurants with a plethora of interesting people.

Rainbow, Whiskey, Viper room are great stops for drinks & music. Staff are very nice. All walking distance & there is a free trolley on Saturday & Sunday nights along Sunset & Santa Monica.

Its a have to visit but its cheap and nasty, dressed up characters pose for photos and then can be aggressive for tips. Walk of stars is ok but its always so jammed you don't get to see that much

Great location on Sunset Blvd to walk and shop. Many places for a drink or coffee. Many little boutique shops. All close and great.

If you're a baby boomer, the strip will probably be of more interesting to you than your kids or grand children. The strip has a long history with motion picture people and the music industry. Many fashionable night clubs were either on or just off thr sunset strip. Dean Martin once owned a club on the strip. Many musicians hung out at the Rainbow, Whiskey A Go Go, etc..... . It's apart of a fabulous history of LA.

Visit the strip and see all of Hollywood and its shops and riches. See how the Rich and Famous live. Its a good time, no frills, but you can take it off your bucket list.

Retracing the footprints of the stars on the sidewalk is an exciting experience if you are hollywood movie stars fan as my wife... Just imagine that each star stood on their designated footprints to date... It is not impacted me as much but its nice to be standing on it and joining my wife in appreciation mode...(-:

This is not a problem if you go with your eyes open, nothing is real everything is based on the movies, fun but false

I always love to wander down the Sunset strip when I am in town, a mix of everything from bars, restaurants both budget and high end and shops. A great place to pull up a chair somewhere and do some people watching or head to some of the famous bars if you are after something more exciting.

There is definitely some history there, it worth seeing but I would not want to spend too much time there specialty shopping. Everything is highly overpriced and overrated. Almost pretentious I would say. They are though a few good bars and restaurants even though they are overpriced. If you have not seen before definitely worth seeing but would not want to make it a regular spot

I live off of the Sunset Strip so I drive and hang out in this area often (if not daily). When you think of "glamorous Hollywood" or "ritzy Hollywood" or "where the movie stars hang out in Hollywood", you're really thinking about the Sunset Strip, which is the cleaner, fancier, nicest part of Hollywood. Interestingly, it's actually West Hollywood, not Hollywood, and it's a series of nice hotels and bars that is close to Beverly Hills. The closer to Beverly Hills you get, the nicer it generally is.

While you have the Viper Room, The Whiskey, Roxy, Rainbow Room, etc., which are serious rocker bars and music venues, you also have the Sky Bar at the Mondrian, The Standard, Katana, BOA, Chateau Marmont, and Sunset Plaza, all of which are very upscale restaurants/hotels where you're bound to run into models and movie stars. It's also a tourist area, but it certainly doesn't feel like Hollywood Blvd., where the stars you see are actually imbedded into the sidewalk you're walking on and it's definitely not nearly as upscale as the Sunset Strip. You should definitely see both, but you'd want to hang out/eat at the Sunset Strip.

Also, there's typically a lot of traffic on the Strip so be aware of that, and try to avoid the right lane after you cross Crescent Heights/Laurel Canyon driving West on Sunset Blvd. as the right lane is usually clogged with cars waiting for Chateau Marmont valet at night. It can be dangerous if you're not paying attention because of a sudden stop. Enjoy the show.

Not sure why its famous really. Just over priced eateries. Does have the viper room but also is filled with bums and hipsters.

Get lost on the Sunset Strip. . . . Stayed close enuff to walk to the strip had some fun watching/seeing the sites along the way!

A short walk down Sunset is definately worth it simply to see the sights, the clubs, locations (Whiskey a go go, Viper Room, Tower Records, etc.) that are so embedded in our modern pop / LA based culture.

Very iconic with various sightings of the typical Hollywood buildings. A stay in Los Angeles wouldn't be complete with without a trip to this strip. Took a bus tour from the area to experience the local life.

Simply a great time and very happy memories, just take a massive SD card for your camera! The place has a great name and we really enjoyed ourseelves

The "bright lights are dimming". It is not the "happening" place it once was as I went back for rememberance sake and was left trying to remember why...where have all the flower's gone. Sad times have entered here and all that is left are the memories of joy long past!. Tis sad....

I have seen scenes of Sunset Strip on tv and in films over the years. It was interesting walking down Sunset Blvd.

We strolled down the Sunset Strip last week as we were really looking for what this experience was all about. The Strip is just like what you see in the movies and there are so any things to do from shopping to great restaurants. Our favorite part was definitely people watching as there were so may characters walking around. This is definitely a must do while in Hollywood!

Sunset Strip is a great place to hang out, shop and to eat. I like the restaurants all of which are very different and the fact that all of them have outdoor dining because of the extra large sidewalks. The clothing stores are very high end and upscale.

Growing up in So Cal, I took this for granted. If it is on your friends bucket list then it is definitely worth the trip.

I suggest you read other reviews and decide what you really want to do in Los Angeles. Maybe at night it would be better but during the day we didn't think much of it. Then again, we didn't think much of LA as a city - apart from the Getty Centre, which is not to be missed as it's a fabulous free art gallery and museum. If you have kids and want to go to Disneyland or Universal Studios, come to LA and stay near those attractions. Otherwise, we can't really see why anyone would want to go there.

It's not the heydays of the 80's but it is still cool. Lots of great music and clubs and food. Tons of cool shopping too. Makes for a great day trip.

This is a good place to sip a glass of wine and people watch. A good place on Sunset, since sunset av is not so sexy !

Everything you want is here even a gourmet market! Walking up and down the sunset strip was a great experience and one hell of a workout. The night lights, the shopping and the people all wonderful. Cannot wait to go back.

We walked up and down the strip our first night, and ate at a pizza place with outdoor seating affording us a great spot for people watching.

As per the title and such a famous area and we walked a few blocks whislt in LA recently and a nice walk

Visiting CA was such a reality check. Television can truly make things look great. There's nothing special about the Sunset Strip. I'd suggest spending you time doing something more meaningful.

Lots of great restaurants and bars. Lots of famous places and it's cool to see the walk of fame. It can get crowded but it's worth it.

The Sunset Strip has lots of stores and restaurants, and is generally pleasant. I didn't notice anything outstanding in the area.

Well they're surely lots to do on the Sunset Strip if you're looking to walk by it definitely Hollywood Boulevard one street over that you're looking for

I saw this on a tour and our tour guide had great history and current facts to share. Was interesting to learn.

Never thought I would walk on sunset boulevard but yes I've done it and yes it's a road not much more to say to be honest other than a must do

If you're visiting, it's a great place to go. Fun shops, a lot of celebrity stuff. Everything you imagined about California can be found on the Sunset Strip. Easy parking. Fun at night and during the day. Wear your walking shoes.

Just another street with a bit more light and massive advertisement. Need to be done the night, but really nothing special.

If you come to Los Angeles, the Strip is a must do. So many excellent restaurants, Glam Hotels and designer shops that you will see and feel the best of the West, and totally connect with Hollywood.

Not much going on in the day time but at night it lights up. There are of course lots of things to do on the sunset strip. Bars, restaurants, activities. If you are in Hollywood, take a drive down the strip, and if you have time, check out some of the different things going on there.

Interesting, but also dirty in a nasty kind of way, plenty to see, easy way to use up a day, but ive been better places, and it all seems just a bit grubby

Interesting in the day time but even better at night when everyone and everything crawls out of the woodwork. Never change!

I drove down Sunset Strip during the day and although there was a lot of places to look at (and some iconic buildings) not much was happening. This area would be much better to check out in the evening or at night.

Even during the day I enjoyed looking at the buildings.

I didn't know what I was expecting. Glitz.. glamour... something interesting to snap. Nope! There's some palm trees, but you'll find those all over LA. Worth a look, I guess, if only to say you've been. But trust me, there's nothing here.

Not what I thought it would be! This place has been stuck in time and looks very old! Not the most amazing experience and very dirty!

Walked down the strip and enjoyed an amazing night. Looked at the different shopping areas and had a coffee sitting at a outdoor café.

This is a good place to eat n drink as well as celebrity spotting and you will see some stars here for sure, very central to Hollywood and Beverly hills, I love Hollywood

Don't see the attraction at all. Way too many people and nothing of interest to see. There are so many more much nicer places in Southern California.

I'd heard of the Comedy Store, the Rainbow, the Whisky, the Roxy, the Viper Room, etc. It was a fine experience to put a location with the name. A sort of Americana foot tour. Happy we did it, but wouldn't make it a huge priority without tickets to a show.

A trip to LA would be incomplete without a trip down the Sunset Strip. It is always exciting for a first time visitor to do the main attractions and see the Walk of Fame, Chinese Theatre, Dolby Theatre and more as you parade down the street with other tourists alike.

Great to visit and especially using own car or hop on hop off bus as everything is spread out. Nice restaurants in west hollywood.

I walked this stretch of the Blvd on a Sunday afternoon and, aside from restaurant patrons on patios, didn't really see anyone out walking, everyone drives and it was a hot day so I don't blame them. At night this place must come alive, this afternoon there wasn't much to write home about. It is pretty cool to finally see famous places you've heard about - Whisky a Go Go, the Roxy, Hyatt "Riot House", all fixtures of the classic rock scene.

Most of the action is east of La Cienga, in fact east of Fairfax along Hollywood Blvd but the whole area is an interesting walk. The Hollywood Walk of Fame can be brutally crowded during peak seasons.

Lots of things to look at, places to eat, shop, attractions, all within a few blocks. A little like Las Vegas without the casinos.

Others nave stated so many things I would have said, so I'll sum it up this way, there is basically something for everyone to see or do. My friends and I went during the daytime and had a lot of fun. More interesting things to do at night such as clubs, venues, shows etc. Definitely take some good amount of money with you for the nightlife. You also can just be a spectator and not dee the shows etc. But that is half the fun.Obviously no strollers to see the show. The nnightlife is for adults basically. During the day is a much better time to take the kids/

We drove down Sunset Boulevard / Sunset Strip when visiting LA to take a look at the Viper Room. The area is pretty vast so it would have taken forever to walk and after seeing the people around we were pleased to be in the car and not walking on the street. Area looks pretty run down.

It´s not what I had in mind, may be I my expectations were too high. But don´t get me wrong, it´s nice place to have a walk if you´re in LA.

Had a great and super awesome walk while on my way to the Starbucks not very far From Carney’s restaurant. I personally have felt that the sidewalks were super clean, well maintained and organized by the friendly city employees and management By The Way. I would heartily recommend that you cross the street at the individual traffic lights 🚦 instead of between the lights By The Way. :)

Not what it was, you can walk it but acar is best, don't forget to take the detours on the side streets for hidden gem stores, clubs, restaurants and bars, shops, Friday nights it's really hopping and it goes right to the Beverly Hills City limits, one thing about LA it really is pretty good for urban exploring

We stayed on sunset strip for 4days and was really disappointed at what it had to offer. All it has to offer is a scattering of hotels,some restaurants and shops spread out over a long dirty traffic ladened road best avoided

try some of the trendy sidewalk cafes and just people watch. Fascinating and fun. This place jumps at all hours. Catch coffee and a pastry in the am, and a fun dinner.

Its such an iconic name. A setting with bars and shops but also a little bit of a tourist trap. Worth a drive through in the evening so you can cover the vast distances of Sunset Boulevard.

I live a hop (not even a hop, skip and a jump off Sunset) and have been up and down this street, restaurants, shops and a few nightclubs over the last few years and have to say it is worth a gander.

Walk it, stroll it or you will miss most of it. There are bakeries, shops on the backside of shops. There are lots of stars eating next to you. Heck, they shop at Whole Foods in West Hollywood everyday.

I enjoy a lot of the restaurants for a quick bite and have brought guests to the Comedy Clubs and even a few nightclubs. I just really enjoy walking the strip at Sunset.

This long and interesting street is a major artery that traverses East/West through Hollywood and Beverley hills, and runs all the way to the ocean.
It is ever changing from low end retail, to industrial and finally to extremely upscale at the West end.

Went in April 2023. Awsome trip a trolley tour of LA. Fanisnating to see the strip up close and personal. Neon signs lots of action and great people watching. Highly recommend the atmosphere of the Strip

This is were the viper club is were river Phoenix died it has lots of little cool bars and trendy shops and boutiques but I find it was a bit of a walk if staying near hollywood boulevard and taxis are expensive and the traffic a night mare so I would suggest getting the red line step on step off bus you can get a tree day ticket or a two or one it is a very long road that runs into Beverly Hills and it runs every hr till about 5.30 also on this road is the famous whisky a gogo on the corner NR the famous Marmont hotel were John bullish I died and Jim Morrison from the doors nearly fell from a ledge near the roof , anyway should be a good day out enjoy

Great nightlife, bars and restaurants, was good to go to a gig at the Whisky a Go Go to see where it all started for bands like Motley Crue etc. Worth visiting the Rainbow Bar and Grill and Rock n Reilly's at happy hour, good value for money on food and drink, rather expensive otherwise

Sunset Strip is one of those American roads you have to ride down. It is a really fun ride and it’s fairly clean. You can sit and hope to see a celebrity or just sit and enjoy being there in a place of wealth and character

Lots of signage, lots of neon, lots of people. Many restaurants and clubs along a 4 mile or so length of "The Strip". A great place to car watch also!

Great local for breakfast, lunch, brunch, any day of the week. Recommended for all including super health conscious.

It was much cleaner than what I'd expected and has clearly improved over the years. My husband and I walked for around 6 blocks and drove the rest as we headed off to universal studio fright night. We went in the day and you definitely need to walk some of it as whilst there's a lot to take in.

There's a million things to do here. We spent a week on and around the area. There's something for everyone

The sunset strip is full of history from the early 30's all the way to modern society.It hold's history of movie star's,the blues and rock and roll.A very good location to stay as you are in walking distance and amazing nightlife

Everyone has heard of this place. Great place to hang out for the day and explore all the shops, architecture and restaurants. A must do

The thing about coming here for the first time is that there are so many places that seem familiar due to films, obviously, but also photos of celebs that seem to appear in so many papers and magazines. It's a must visit stretch of Sunset Blvd, and well worth the experience. Lots to see, do and photograph!

Not a lot to see nowadays, just a very busy road, though you'll want to pop into the Rainbow for a pint and take pictures of the other famous places, the Viper, the Whisky etc.

great sharing all the excitement of the famous Sunset Strip that we have always heard about. Looking at the famous stars in Hollywood Blvd was great.

I watched a short documentary on sunset strip and how the area is changing to make room for new construction. The film urged everyone to visit before historic places like whiskey a go go are torn down. I'm here to see it before that happens. Amazed at how friendly, clean, and modern it is. I could live here.

This is a lively place to be and clearly a neighbourhood for music fans. We noticed several different tour busses drive by as we ate on a patio so that’s an option if you’re interested. Definitely a great part of the city to explore.

This was exactly what I expected it to be but on a much larger scale I had no idea that the Stars went for many blocks down both sides of one street and some other side streets.

Look just one of those things that you do... iconic name with some iconic stories to be told... but at the end of the day it is just a street and not a flash one at all, really a bit grungy and nothing special.. plenty of bars to stop for a drink

It is the best stretch of Sunset Blvd. Beautiful Hillsy area , nice for walking or cruising in your car. It boasts a lot of restaurants and shops. Best time to visit at Sunset. A must visit in LA.

An excellent choice to savor LA culture. Just walk, go window shopping, eat something and enjoy all the different people you will see.

I love the strip, there’s restaurants, bars and iconic live music venues as well as cafes, fab hotels and a great vibe that’s hard to better in LA.

So much rock n roll history written here the mind boggles! After thoroughly boring my teens we just grabbed some snacks and coffee and people watched. Of course, once back at the hotel (with wi-fi) the teens' exclamations began once they'd figured out just what I had been banging on about!
Highly recommend.

I truly love the feel of sunset strip. There is so much to do.

Coming from a small town, the hustle an bustle of the area is quite a different environment but its worth it!

During the day, it could be seen as just another street but it comes alive at night - lots of bars and places for music. I'd avoid the tourist shopping.

At night, when the shops are closed, it is pleasant to have diner there because it is a lively place. Beyond that, there is nothing to do there.

Coming from the UK we were not used to the length of streets in LA- and Sunset is said to be 20 miles long???? anyway the street comes in bursts of "things to see/do" followed by a mile or so of "nothing" so if looking for accomodation here then check out the immediate proximity if you dont want to get in a taxi every time you go out!

Environment is absolutely beautiful the weather is awesome and everyone is friendly out here go ahead and give this place a chance

Sunset Strip has everything for everyone! THE most famous Nightclubs! Rainbow Room. Roxy. Comedy Store. House of Blues. and MORE! Many Many Many restaurants and shopping opportunities. Jess Kalinowsky Bon Vivant!

Best to park the car and leisurely walk down the strip - Sunset Boulevard. Lots of clubs, restaurants, shops, boutiques, etc.

if your use to shopping in new york; then this isnt going to do it for you. Shops are far apart from each other, alot of walking, very little sales. Small stores

I got out of the Navy and rode down Sunset Strip, looking for Dino's from the show 77 Sunset Strip! Awesome!

The Sunset Strip has something for everyone, from fine dining and night clubs to recording studios and mansions. It is a fun expanse of historic Hollywood. Recommend people take the time and effort to walk along the strip and take it in. There is a lot to see if you are prepared to look beneath the surface.

a loooooong walk but interesting to see everything on the strip. Lots of clubs, places to eat, hotels and lovely views

Had a great time visiting West Hollywood night life. Thanks to uber friends we got there safely. Make sure you are prepared for California night life. Funny!

Just not the same. When Tower Record left fancier shops and bars arrived. It continues to gentrify and lose its bohemian charm. No longer hippy or even hip. Just expensive cocktails. Lost all the fun of the 60ies. No reason to really explore the Sunset Strip.

While not near it's former glory of the 80's and 90's, it's still a fun place to visit on a weekend night

The Comedy Store, out of respect for RW, who has sadly left us, I had to stop by having never been there. A fantastic show with multiple comics on a Thursday. Fantastic evening!

We live off the strip and frequent it two to three times a week.
Great walking area with something for everyone. Shopping is excellent and restaurants abound. Great food from Wahlburgers to french to Chinese.
A must see for all.

You can’t come to LA without walking down sunset strip. It really has something for everyone from rock bars, comedy clubs, trendy bars and everything in between. We did go on a Monday night and even though there were a number of places open there was a lot closed as well. It felt safe and we walked from Chateau Marmont to Whiskey A-Go-Go with a number of drink stops along the way. Was a fun night.

I drove from the Getty Centre to Hollywood along Sunset Blvd. It was an interesting drive, but I would have liked to stop more often than I could. There was limited parking so I could only stop where there was off street parking. Next time, I will park and walk some more to be able to see everything properly.

When you see the famous Sunset Strip on TV or in movies, they show you what it once was, a frolicking 24/7 sex, drugs, and rock n roll party. Then you get there, and it's not that. It's not even close to that. Don't get me wrong, it's still cool to visit, and I love walking the strip to see all the bars, clubs and hotels that helped make it famous, but for the most part nowadays what you'll find is a busy street filled with celebrity homes tour vans, a couple homeless guys, and a few people out walking around with cameras. Most people don't visit the Sunset Strip for what it is, they visit Sunset Strip for what it once was. You might see a celebrity hanging around Sunset Plaza, but don't count on it. On a Friday or Saturday night it does get a bit more interesting, but if you're on the outside looking in, any other time of the week most people will find it's worth spending a couple hours walking around, but that's really all you need. To get more out of the experience you really need to be prepared to actually VISIT those bars, clubs and hotels, and that's where the fun truly begins! Simply touring Sunset Strip is underwhelming. Living Sunset Strip, even though it may be long past it's glory days, is where the experience is. Have a drink at the Rainbow. Get tickets to a comedy club. Take in a show at Whisky or the Viper Room. Have dinner at Chateau Marmont. There's still plenty of fun to be had for those willing to get into it.

Fun area to drive through or walk through. Great bars and plenty to see! Definitely make this a stop when you visit LA!

We had a great time on sunset strip! Our hotel (Grafton on Sunset) was right across the road from the Comedy Store. Very busy road tho! Lots to do.. lots of restaurants. Some night clubs (the Viper room). It's known for the night life!

The Sunset Strip is one of the necessary excursions in LA that isn't always enjoyable. I suggest going with a plan of attack as it can turn into a traffic-ridden drive if you don't.
There are several great places along Sunset, like Mystery Pier Books, Book Soup, The Eveleigh, RivaBella, and the Chateau. The views are iconic and you will really feel like you are in the heart of Hollywood.
If you are going at night, there are certainly some fun bars and clubs to check out like Whiskey a Go Go. Definitely take an Uber or cab so you don't have to deal with parking or a designated driver.
Things tend to be a little pricier here so be prepared.

Walked a hell of a way to get to the strip and it was worth it. Got to see the Viper Room, Roxy and Whiskey a Go-Go. And Rainbow Bar & Grill. These places are part of rock history and as a music fan I was excited to see them.

We loved the lights and the sounds. The air was perfect that night and we were able to see many new things we hadn’t seen before. It was awesome!

The Sunset Strip is a great place to go for a walk... There are so many interesting sites to see, that are a part of LA's history!

Had a great day walking up and down “ Sunset Strip “ plenty of history plenty of bars restaurants and shops , billboard’s everywhere posh cars but definitely worth the visit

Really just travelled along the Strip but found it most interesting. We were travelling along here with an organised trip and this was included on our break on the mainland on our way to Hawaii.

In brilliant sunshine, this is not unlike many other roads in West Hollywood except there’s giant billboards everywhere. Not many shops, mostly night clubs, hotels, a few restaurants. At night time though, it’s a different planet. Enjoy!

You could easily spend a lot of time here exploring all the old historic clubs and pubs. Or just stroll along and see all the activity and people watching.

Sunset strip is of course famous, it has a great mix for all budgets in terms of hotels, restaurants and bars. I would choose to either stay there for a couple of nights and enjoy what it has to offer. Or if you just want to see it..drive along and take in the sights along the way.

Its OK in a vintage way, only visited because of the old TV series 77 Sunset Strip, shown on British TV in the 60,s

The Sunset Strip. Just hearing it makes me think of movies, songs and all around coolness. This is a truly cool place to go visit

We drove down the Sunset strip on one of our tours, it was worth it as a fan of hairspray rock bands of the 90's.

The Roxy,The Whiskey and Viper Room held seve through the 90s now Boa, Sky, MAIA and Pearls Liqour have the crowds and energy. Regardless of your tastes bring your wallet and nostalgia and get your drink on within the hallowed grounds of the Sunset Strip!

not as exciting on foot. get a tour
Look up restaurants you want to eat at on tripadvisor.
better in daytime than at night

I was totally stoked to have the opportunity to stay on The a Strip and visit some of the legendary venues. As a lifelong rock fan I am very much aware of the key venues along this area. I still go to watch some of the bands associated with The a Strip when they come to the UK, often in very small venues to small audiences, but I love the whole scene and still buy albums from bands just setting out now who fit into that certain category.
Sure The Rainbow, Whiskey and The Viper are great, even a The Roxy but maybe I was expecting too much. We were there over a weekend and visited all these places, which were excellent but there was little else to shout about along the rest of The Strip.
For me, what I saw was what I wanted to see but I just didn’t get the overall vibe or think the whole strip offered up too much.
Maybe I should have been there 25 years or so ago.
Well worth a visit but maybe ends up shattering a dream or two.

Never a dull moment on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. From Sunset Plaza and the fine sidewalk cafes to the shop along with the famous music clubs like the ROXY, its one of the few walking areas of L.A.

So ENJOY the journey and people watch for hours!

I ate at Pinches Mexican restaurant good food and there drinks were great pineapple or hibiscus punch non alcohol

The weather and the atmosphere is not matched. Sunset strip has amazing stores and restaurants. I visit often.

As part of a tour from Vegas to L.A., we were given two hours to explore the famous Sunset Strip on our own.

OK - it's iconic, world famous, a "must see"....... but, honestly, I struggled to fill in the allotted couple of hours, spending more than half an hour in the famous Roosevelt Hotel lounge (sumptuously decorated and furnished), sipping a cold beer; and escaping the crowds.

OK - there are the stars on the pavement (sidewalk) with the movie, and other, names on them. And, by the Chinese Theatre, the handprints, captured in concrete, of many big names.

But...but, that was about it, sorry.

At least, I've been and have experienced it, and although this review is somewhat lacking in praise for this street, I'm glad I went.

By the way - for older readers - I didn't get to see "77 Sunset Strip"; it's probably now a comb shop run by "Kookie's" grandchildren!!! :)

We drove down the sunset strip and there were lots to see. It was eccentric and quirky and a must see whilst in Hollywood.

It was fun to walk the strip, see all of the famous landmarks of Hollywood. We stayed at Best Western Plus so perfect location to explore the strip.

Sunset Strip is an iconic part of LA. We love people watching and car watching! All the cool cars drive up and down the strip

I'm a 90s rocker so HAD to see the Sunset Strip and seeing all the places you heard about in songs is awesome! Hello Whiskey, Hello Roxy, Hello Rainbow etc etc......

I walked this during the day on a Sunday and found it woeful, none of the sights such as Whiskey A Go Go, Viper Room were interesting, there was no one about so didn't have any vibe or atmosphere. Not worth the time, was glad when I got off the Strip.

Sunset Strip doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is. Some good bars and restaurants, a few places we recognised.

As a music fan it’s fun to visit the clubs that all the bands I grew up with played.
Some good restaurants to fill up at before seeing a show.
It was a cool vibe when I was visiting there.. as always I recommend having some sort of camera with you as you’re never sure what you might see. I saw a lot of cool cars when I went...

Fun and more fun this place and area of LA has it all. Eccentric hotels, hip cafes and restaurants, and trendy shops. My new favorite area in LA.

I live in Hollywood and my husband is a musician so we drive down the strip pretty frequently. There are some cool nightclubs located on the strip and some pretty good places to eat. Better to drive than to walk.

Loved this part of LA, within walking distance from our hotel, fantastic bars and restaurants, and great for spotting top range cars such as Ferrari's !

We were excited to go and see stars on the sidewalk and places we have heard of. Very disappointing. Overcrowded, dirty, tacky Andre a few words that come to mind. So many other great things to do. I would recommend driving by to see the spectacle, but unless you like the dirty chaos, I wouldn’t spend time there.

Like much of LA this strip improves the further North West you travel. Up in West Hollywood this part of the strip is very nice.

Our stay in Hollywood allowed us to venture out to explore the landmarks. Sunset Strip is not too far West of Hollywood and has so many thing to see and do. From the many clubs, to restaurants and shops I think if possible you should take the venture both in daylight and at night. See some of the same clubs where many of our entertainers first started, from comedy to performing (singing). I was a little surprised of its unassuming look however. We were expecting a little more glitz like in Vegas. Probably in its day.

So much to see and do SHOPPING ....FOOD ...... Very Big Tourist area Adult atmosphere after dark . Lots of clubs

Hollywood has come a long way since Beverly Hills Cop. The streets are much cleaner, there are public and private security outfits and an array of entertainment related activities all on one street. Be sure to visit the newish Kodak theater and see as much as you can.

Lots of shops and places to eat. Good night life some of the famous land marks - whiskey rainbow - lots to tick off the bucket list

I have lived just off the Strip for over 20 years, and I've seen lots of changes and ups and downs. The Strip is definitely on an upswing now; lots of new construction, new restaurants and bars, and a ton of activity especially on the weekends.

It was cool to see and do but I would not go back unless I just needed to be there. We don't really participate in the crazy nightlife but probably would have been better in my 20's. It seems like everything is spread out so walking wasn't really productive. Some of the places are kind of run down.

Check out all the sights that you hear about in the magazines - just make sure you have lots of space on your memory card!!

Nice strip to check out! Went to the Viper Room for a concert. Cool to check out Johnny Deep's joint. Nothing too crazy overall.

Go here to eat, drink and shop 'til you pop. Best Chin Chin in LA with sidewalk seating or indoors or take out. Love the boutiques and night life. Parking is free for customers of the shops.

We all have our ideals of what the sunset strip is like but it really is not a big deal at all, in fact it has a scuzz factor to it and more gimmicks. Yes its a one time see but don't expect to be wowed

Just look out for all "free" give always. Or photo poetry its that could cost you. With two kids I had to be on my ball to make sure no one gave them something I then would have to pay for. Otherwise - its Hollywood :D

So much history on the Sunset strip it's worth the drive. Try to stop in at least one of the clubs for a drink.

spent the day wandering around this area and plenty of shops and eating to do. allow at least one two days

Sunset Strip is a 2.4 km stretch of Sunset Boulevard that passes through West Hollywood. We drive through it while doing the Hollywood Movie Star Homes Tour in a 12 seat open car. The tour guide was telling about it. It extends from West Hollywood's Crescent Heights Boulevard to Beverly Hills at Sierra Drive. It has several boutiques, restaurants, bars, rock clubs, and nightclubs. It is also known for its array of huge, colorful billboards.

This is a cool part of the famous Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. This is 1.5 mile long part of the street where the hottest bars and clubs are. You are like to see someone rich and famous here.

The Whiskey, The Rainbow and the Viper Room all close to each other. Open at 7-8pm so no day drinking at these places!

Bristol Farms, Le Petit Four, DryBar!, Mels, Sundance Movie Theatre, the DGA, BOA, Roku Sunset, Bar 20 at the Grafton, The Riot House Restaurant and Bar, The Standard, the Chateau what's not to love about the strip!

A cult classic with so many iconic sights in pop culture. The strip has plenty of entertainment and eating options, amazing nightlife with trendy bars and is close enough to clubs down in WEHO. Iconic sights along the strip such as Chateau Marmont, sunset tower, The Viper Room and the comedy club. Got lucky and saw a couple of celebrities coming out of some Chanel event at the Chateau Marmont which was cool. very walkable and safe both day and night. Great location to stay as well a lot of it is within walking distance great shopping too with the likes of Fred Segal and Kith. an iconic boulevard which makes for a great free attraction if you plan on just walking git and seeing the iconic locations on it.

with all of theHotels, restaurants and clubs, there is something for everyone on Sunset Strip. Stop in at one of the rock and comedy clubs dotting the strip.

We went in the day it’s just a long road which is very dated old fashioned and not even well maintained. A few odd shops nothing to really mention and some bars and cafes and restaurants. Even the billboard signs were all dirty and tired looking . We tried to stop in several places but 3 places we tried had no WiFi. Really wouldn’t recommend wasting time to stop here.

Being into music and intrigued by where most of my favorites made it - I longed to make it down Sunset Strip.
Closer to Santa Monica is where you find all the ritzy houses - further up you begin to get into the zone where you can park your car and travel on foot. Many eateries with celebs trying to hide their identity and many historical places to stop in for a drink or and appetizer.
Places like the Rainbow, WhiskyaGoGo, and Pinks make things worth while.
While strolling the sidewalk of the boulevard you still see people that have the lifestyle we envied in the past. The time has passed, but the people still live on.

I drove this strip as I had dinner reservations on Vine. I figured if I saw something interesting I would return. Nope. It was a strip to drive down. I didn't see anything worth stopping for other than to maybe take a picture with the Sunset and Vine road signs.

Lots of pictures to be taken and a fair distance if you want to take your time and see all the sights on the way.

As a true tourist, we liked driving down Sunset strip and stopping when we felt like taking in the attractions or grabbing a bite to eat.

I mean you can literally drive Sunset Avenue from almost Downtown LA all the way down to the Beach, it ends at PCH. The strip itself has a lot of character, I mean I wouldn't recommend walking it, very far apart between shops and restaurants. The strip itself has a lot to offer from some great shopping to some good restaurants like sushi, Italian, Chinese, Americana and many more. Also great shops like Armani, Hugo Boss and others. You can also party at night from House of Blues to other venues and bars around the strip.

You hear so much about the sunset strip that you and your family thinks it is a must see. It is dirty and not so spectacular. Driving by and jumping out of the car for a picture is all that you need to do. So many other cool places to see in LA. Don’t waste your time here.

lots of shops and diverse eating spots.East to walk to on sunset strip.take a lot of dollars as a lot of shops are upmarket a a little bit expensive.a good place to spot celebritys as well.

Fantastic Place to see! Walk the Sunset Strip at night and all the Neon Lights, People, Restaurants, Fancy Cars are to much to take in. Everyone is very nice!

Very nice drive, but seems like just a morning drive for the California commuter. There's not much to see.

A fun place to visit to see all the bars, clubs, and street signs that make Sunset Strip famous - especially as the hop on - hop off bus travels and stops all along it.

I guess if you want to see the freak show or get pickpocketed, its ok. As you drive further down the road, the shops, restaurants, and homes are very nice.

Is a very good street to see all type of business, to see the glamourus and partylicious cali life, 100!

The world famous Sunset Strip. The Sunset Strip is filled with tons of restaurants, nightclubs, comedy clubs and shops.

Went to see what it was all about. Was going to go into the Rainbow Room, but decided against it, as there were a lot of very young adults already inebriated We decided to just take a walk to wind down from a long day of travel. I did enjoy taking note of all the strip clubs and bars I've heard about, . Will definitely go again, when I am not to travel fatigued and crabby.

The Sunset Strip has been THE place for nightlife for decades.
It's great during the day too with it's places to eat, shop and more.
The strip comes alive at night with the Whisky a Go Go, The Comedy Club, The Viper Room, The Roxy and on and on.
There is so much here that no mater what your taste is in entertainment, food, drink or shopping, well, you will find it along this famous stretch of Sunset Blvd.
Large billboards have always been a part of the strip and they themselves are worth a trip to see.
Check out the old Tower Records building that is a part of music history and it was the most famous of all the Tower Records.
Relive the past and live in the present at the same time.
The swingin' strip.
There is nothing like it.

The Sunset Strip is really just a portion of Sunset Blvd that stretches through West Hollywood and it is really just a bunch of office building, restaurants, shops, and nightclubs. But it is iconic, especially if you know the history of the Sunset Strip and why it became one of the go to nightlife spots in Los Angeles. Read up a bit about it first (even if its just the Wiki page) and then take a drive down Sunset and stop off at one of the iconic spots. Also keep your eye out for both the views and a famous celebrity spotting.

There was a ton of trash all over sunset strip. There was also a lot of palm branches all over the sidewalks and into the streets. That being said, I only saw about 5 homeless people on the Sunset Strip. I felt safe and I was alone. The buildings were pretty cool. I happened to come at a cold snap so it was quite windy and chilly. It was pretty most of the time. Sunshine was plentiful except for the day, out of 4, it rained in the morning.

Had a walkthrough the area. The shops are boutique, and there are some restaurants and cafes. A few photos here and there, but nice enough.

Our entire trip to California started with the phrase "I want to go and see Sunset Strip. I want to see where it all started. I want to sit in the Rainbow and drink Jack Daniels". So we did.

Sunset Strip is where it all began. And you can still see the drum kits and amps outside the Whisky as a band waits to go on stage.

Well worth the twelve hour flight from the UK. Loved every minute of it!

We stayed here at The Grafton boutique Hotel in West Hollywood a very wealthy area like Chelsea or Knightsbridge in London beautiful homes restaurants and individual boutiques. Rock venues & clubs. More than it's quota go very expensive cars cruising the area also

I remember the strip from an old TV series 77 Sunset Strip a detective series.

By day great for shopping and dining by night a vibrant night life. Only a short Uber ride from anything in LA.

You will have seen it in films or on tv but until you have walked along it and mixed with people or window shopped you really haven't experienced L.A. My advice is to take one of the bus tours to get all of the local information.

I only went here at night to go to what was once Jonny Depp's "Viper Room". I was only a young girl of 22 so this would probably not be my scene now. I can only review it as someone who went here at night having some drinks.... It wasn't as interesting as I expected. Just a night out to go to clubs and drink was my experience. It could be done anywhere

Our last stop on our Hollywood trip was a visit to Sunset Strip. This 1.6-mile strip of Sunset Boulevard is home to the hip, cool, “wanta bees” and weird younger crowd. Clubs and bars are the prominent feature of this strip. During the day, the area resembles a ghost town with only a few tourists wandering around. Nighttime is an entirely different situation, with lots of patrons and visitors crowding the sidewalks and establishments. Ideal location to view a wide variety of autos ranging from total “Junkers” to top end vehicles (Jags, Lotus, Austin Martin, etc.). As we walked around the area, observed several hotels (i.e., Sunset Tower Hotel and Andaz West Hollywood). Beautiful buildings, with expensive accommodations. Clubs and bars range from “holes in the wall bars” to long time establishments (The Viper Room, Whiskey-a-Go-Go and Rainbow Bar). Mel’s Drive In, and Pink Taco are just a few of the eateries spread out along this strip. Numerous clubs cater to almost every taste ranging from local talent to major headliners shows. If you want to party, this is the ideal area to be in. You will find something to your liking. Spent 2 hours wandering around and observing the activity. Found the Strip to be unique and way out of my realm of activities. As we are “oldster” felt like we had intruded into someone private domain. Felt like a trip to the Twilight Zone. But each to their own ideas of fun.

There are so many places to eat and drink along Sunset. You really can't go wrong stopping anywhere. Look for any hotel with rooftop bars for amazing views of LA!

Love this area of Hollywood! You can definitely see some interesting sights and people but overall is a must see when in the area.

We loved walking the Sunset Strip. The people watching is worth it by itself. We will definitely be back.

Sorry, but the Sunset Strip has lost its old glamour, for me at least. It really used to be THE place to see and be seen while strolling along the sidewalk, oogling at all the beautiful people, or sitting at one of the sidewalk cafes, watching people oogle you.
There are still some ritzy shops and restaurants, but not like it was. Mostly tourists who don't know any better. Not my kind of place anymore.

Sunset Strip is world famous for good reason, with a variety of clubs, stores, little cafes, and venues that continue to attract locals and visitors alike. Trendy, crowded, but still the best of Los Angeles.

Its was ok for a walk but we expected to find more food places to eat. There also isn't very many convience store around

We strolled from Beverly Hills Hotel all the way to Amoeba Music over a few hours, taking in the evening bustle and vibrant atmosphere.

We saw some of the most famous music venues such as Whiskey a Go Go and Roxy Theatre that have been the home for performances by renowned bands from the 1960s onwards.

We adjourned to The Butcher, The Baker, The Cappuccino Maker for a delicious dinner, with a table in the pleasant courtyard.

Later we stopped off at the Andaz Hotel for a cocktail and snack. Famed as hotel of choice for many performers such as Little Richard, who resided there for over a decade.

Arrays of billboards were aglow promoting movies and other entertainments.

We did not see too many interesting things on the Sunset Strip part of the street as it is promoted. What we saw is this is an ordinary nice street with stores and restaurants. Nothing was special. We were there around lunch time, maybe the wrong time huh?

Extremely touristic and not much to see. It is really not worth visiting, too many people and overrated

We drove down Sunset Strip on the advice of someone from LA. It didn't seem to be anything special. We very much more enjoyed the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Driving along Sunset Boulevard, following a white convertible Rolls Royce whose driver was on his mobile all the way, created an unforgettable experience, and lasting memory of California

Well, what can I say??? This place speeks for itself!!! The place to go to, hang out, eat at, get tattooed on, strip clubs, etc... The parking is a bit much, but we were aware, other than that, its DEF a GO TO in Hollywood!!!!

I couldn’t help but ride down the street and imagine what it was like when Guns n Roses, Poison and all the other bands got their start on this very road. I gotta say, I wish I was there then. Cool spot to just look around and imagine...

Typical Hollywood sights for those of us not from there. Not a place to take children though, people questionable.

Lots of cools shops and restaurants. Great to walk around and see everything and everyone. Le Petit Four awesome for brunch!

It's lined by cheap (well actually not) tourist shops on both sides for a lot of it.

The west end of the strip is better.

But it's fun to walk down both sides of the road to take some photos.

If you are in LA, it's a must to drive up and down the Sunset Strip at least twice. It's fun to park your car and walk the strip as well or take a TMZ tour. Great bars and clubs on the strip!

Some great bars and restaurants along this street. Allow yourself some time to wander around so you can go check out new places and some great music.

This is a neat historical area. We visited during the day and I was harassed by a panhandler to the point of being terrified, but other than that it's pretty cool. There's lots of stores and restaurants.

I think for anyone who's spent a lot of time in L.A., we've all know the Sunset Strip is just a junky area of beat up buildings and problems. However in the last 5 years, its really been cleaned up and at least feels like a safe tourist trap now. I still don't think its really worth your time, but at least it feels decent again.

We rode down Sunset Strip a couple of times. We saw the Viper Room, Rainbow room, and whiskey GoGo bar. I guess you need to go at night when they are open.

Couldn’t post much photos since well it was juSt a dark and gloomy area now. Guess tourists need to go during the day although I wanted to see the lights at night.

If you are in Hollywood, stop by the strip. It is fun to walk around the strip and see all of the attractions. You'll recognize different parts of the strip, which you see in many movies. Whenever I have guests visiting from a different state or country, we usually drive down to Hollywood, so they can experience Sunset Strip.

This is the Strip. I'm here at last... So the glory days of rock n roll are well behind us, but if you are a music fan this is an essential visit while in LA. We went on New Years Day, so no one was around and we got some great pictures of the The Roxy, The Whiskey A Go Go, The Rainbow Bar, The Chateau Marmont ect...and a traffic free boulevard all under bluer than blue clear sky. Nothing was open of course, except the Chateau bar, where we strolled in like rock stars in Raybans, for brunch in the Patio bar. Another one ticked off the bucket list.

I was staying on the Sunset Plaza so was very close to the strip with many bars, shops and restaurants.
Grew up in the rock scene in the 70s and 80s and to see the famous bars there was great.
The Whisky A Go Go, The Rainbow, Viper Rooms and Lemmys Lounge.
Did have a peek through the door window of The Whisky A Go Go. Only saw the outside of The Viper Rooms. Had a look around the Rainbow with the many memorabilia on the walls and went in Lemmys Lounge on Halloween night for a few beers and rise a glass for Lemmy.
So glad i saw these bars and also saw the Comedy Store which was just across the road from my hotel.

Stupid me! My very first visit to California and I chose to spend only 26 hours there! However that poor choice was alleviated by going to dinner on the Sunset Strip.....fabulous! We had a bistro style table, the weather only accented the entrées. The meal began with three different types of bread. We ordered a pizza and two pastas. Absolutely delicious. Service could have been better: it was the waitor's first day on the job so she couldn't help much with the choices, constantly referring to her notes which was a bit off putting, so we eventually decided to order what looked good on the menu: I certainly can't complain about that. We finished off with Tiramisu. OMG, to die for! Have to recommend this place.....location, food, ambiance, it's got it all. Maybe next time, we'll have an experienced server. And I'll stay longer.

we only took a drive, didn't really walk. but enjoyed our shirt stint anyway. And we did drive at sunset - very nice!

Started near Santa Monica and went through Hollywood. Got a little run down in some areas, but overall a good overview of the So Cal lifestyle.
Passed by a lot of very expensive cars.

About a 3 mile walk round trip which we started in West Hollywood. Loved all the billboards, very alive street, with restaurants, famous night clubs and boutiques :)

This is a unique place to shop, if you are in Los Angeles you have to stop by Sunset Strip. You don't want to miss it!

Its Sunset Blvd, Starline busses and tourists. Fun ride and you can catch affordable and good food at Sunset plaza, with free and easy parking even. If you plan on walking, remember that the distances are crazy, you can not walk from Guitar center to The Viper Room, unless you plan on spending hours. Use the car! Hipster and dirty from downtown through Silverlake. Run down through East Hollywood and the terrible Little Armenia. Flashy through West Hollywwod from Fairfax and west. Residential from Beverly Hills and all the way to the PCH. The strip worth seeing is from Fairfax to Beverly Hills city limit.

The biggest thing I remember about the sunset strip was all of the exotic cars. And of course, In and Out Butger.

Even though it changed quiet a bit before my first stay in L.A ('09) and now, i still love this place, specially in the evening. Great parties, good neighborhood, musical history , and that's one of those places in LA where you feel safe walking alone at night

I could live here, just don't have the money :). The strip was fun, views gorgeous. We didn't spend much time on our feet, we mostly just drove. Definitely a must see.

Always wanted to. Visit here. So. Was very excited when we planned this trip .
So much to see . Glad we made the trip . Lots of photo calls. We were taking late afternoon stroll because of the heat . Did also take in a few of the colourful bars .

Billboards Legendary Clubs Whiskey a Go Go Rainbow Grill Chateau Marmont Sunset Tower and Bar Soho House Stunning Sculpted People Outrageous Fashion and the Best people watching.Fun to walk as well to get a better feel.Night has a special magic to it and yes,the "Stars" do come out...

This is ok. It is a bit run down. It is great to see if you are into 'old' hollywood and old movie stars. I thought it was a bit of a dive. Good to see just to tick off your list, but I wouldnt stay too long

Brilliant and Perpetual. Keep walking and savor the views around. A word of caution though for the single tourists that dont meddle with loads of drunk and homeless people in case if you take a stroll and especially when it gets dark. Be Safe.

Fun escape for a long weekend, lots to do and see for all at every price point, at all times or day or night!

We were here in January and it was a little chilly in the evening but this place is great for people watching. All walks of life. The shops were open late. We had a good time here.

It's one of famous streets in L.A. There are many shopping stores, restaurants, palm trees and tourists.

I really didnt know that I was on the strip. Not sure what I expected but it was just a street with restaurants and some shops, bars.

Had heard about the Strip most of my life and finally made to this part of the country to see it many other things. Walked with my teenage daughter for a few miles and kept expecting to see more than I did but it was a nasty place. Liked the billboards of all the new shows and movies that are coming out but saw too many homeless people laying on the sidewalks and several barking out like nut jobs and wanting money. Was couple of well known comedy clubs and some decent looking restaurants that I had planned on eating at but we never did.

A must see when visiting Hollywood with such institutions as the Whiskey a go go , Viper Room, Rainbow Room and Chateau Marmont.

It seems I can never run out of things to do on Sunset. Seems to always have something new ever time we visit. State Social is great.

While driving around Los Angeles, we made sure to drive down the Sunset Strip so we could see all of the different places on the Strip and also admire the really tall palm trees that line Sunset Blvd. It was certainly worth the drive to take in the sights and grab a picture or two of those famous palm trees!

If you have loads of cash to burn thgen this place is for you! If you are like me an d spend money wisely, pick another place for your time and energy.

We biked the Sunset Strip. Great seeing all the places along here including the comedy clubs you hear so much about. Saw someone famous in a Lamborghini. ( I can't remember who the singer was).
If star gazing is your thing, It's not mine but this is a good place to start.
Especially on a sunny day.

As an 80's & 90's youth raised in Texas, almost all my favorite bands got their start on LA's Infamous Sunset Strip. The Iconic Standout Spots "Whiskey-A-Go-Go," The Roxy," "The Viper Room" all still in use and stand testament to the Rock Era so many of us remember and still love. The drive up to the Strip is insanely beautiful it is every bit the Hollywood we picture. So many shops, bars, and clubs that all have that nostalgic feel. It is most definitely a MUST DO & SEE while in LA!! LA Top Ten List (#4)👊🏽👊🏽

I really wish I'd been to the strip back in the 80s when hair metal ruled the world. Nevertheless there are still the old haunts and a really nice vibe.

If youre in LA , this is one of the places that you shouldn't miss.My friends and I rode the tour bus that goes along Sunset Blvd. , we saw some Iconic places that dates back in 1930's.The goes all the way to the different house of the celebrities. If youre a movie lover, dont miss going here.

We stayed here in LA to be close to a few things such as Hollywood and not to far from Universal Studios. We stayed in a older Hotel the W now though it used to be a hang out for famous rock band stars as well.

Apparently, they got some new apartment buildings being built there. But be careful especially when walking the streets at night. Traffic loosens and speedsters erupt from the bowels of Beverly Hills. Also, Doheny is a strange road; watch your step. If you want to be diverted for fun for FREE, go to the nearby dog park across from the Barrel Bar and not a long shot from the House of Blues that I never found out why it's closed. Also, if you need somewhere inexpensive to park, go all the way up the hill. You can find good parking if you look hard enough. (Also a bird's missing from there. You'll see flyers.)

We came across the Sunset strip from the Getty which is about 9 miles. It took us an 1.5 hours with all of the traffic!

We stayed at a hotel on the strip and enjoyed walking, visiting the shops restaurants and bars. Very colourful and close to all the major Hollywood attractions.

Couldn't see what was worth seeing which is just a few restaurants , shops which you can see anywhere!

We expected Hollywood style but it wasn't that. It is a melting pot of lots of different things including people trying to get you to buy something or have your photo taken with them for a fee. There is The Chinese Theatre with hand prints of stars, than the Hollywood Walk of Frame with the stars of actors, musicians etc. Also a lot of homeless people & the area isn't very clean. Take a day tour to the Hollywood Hills seeing the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory & some of the famous peoples homes.

Stayed at the Andaz Hotel and nightly walks to absorb the atmosphere and enjoy ourselves in all the bars and restaurants were a must. The history and heritage of this place is most affecting. You really feel you are immersed in something very special, and it still delivers.

There are a couple of decent restaurants like Chin Chin but nothing really special. If you want to be touristy and have lunch on the sidewalk of the Sunset Strip it can be fun. Be sure to wear your sunglasses so people will wonder who you are!

Cruised through a few times. Usually just looking or to get to restaurant. This area is for partying with world known clubs. Not a family atmosphere (strip clubs). I'll just keep passing through.

This is a must when you are in LA. It is awesome to see the famous bars and locations along the strip. Cleaned up and great for people watching eating and just walking around. Go at night people watch and walk.

Well, I would totally avoid the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but there's still a mystique about the "Strip". I agree with a previous traveler that it's not the same place it was back in the 80's. I played at The Roxy Theatre in Christopher Cross's band in 1980. Limos, sold out crowds, and the audience was filled with stars, and paid "ringers" from Warner Communications. It's just not like that anymore. Maybe I'm nostalgic, but I remember Kookie and his comb, from 77 Sunset Strip, the tv show in the late 50's. So, ... nothing stays the same, no matter what. Just try to adapt. A block off from the strip are many fine restaurants, and you really should drive on past and go down through Beverly Hills, and past UCLA, and on to the beach. It's just a great road. Skip the bad parts, but drive up and down on a weeknight, and you can catch the Glam of the billboards, and lights.

This portion of Sunset Blvd. is very different from 40 years ago. It has been cleaned up, most of the crime has moved to other areas, and today there are many nice shops, restaurants, cafes, and business offices.

Lots and lots of shops and lots of places to eat. Quite crowded so be patient. It's worth visiting as such but traffic is bad so walking is best. An Uber is recommended

Nice lively street with a multitude of shops and restaurants. One could walk it but it can be done by car as well. Huge colorful billboards are the signature of this street.

A bit disappointing. Not sure what I was expecting. There are a few iconic spots (Whiskey a Go Go, Guitar Centre) but the street is not a pretty one!

Must see when you're in LA (and have some time to kill). On a nice day its def a nice stroll. Check it out.

Historic and Fun. Take a drive down the strip, or a stroll, or I recommend to do both. Fun for all ages.

You come to LA, where do you go? Sunset Strip!! You know, the history was made here - all the people who influenced the modern world started out here. No movie/music star anywhere in the world is complete without putting their name on the map here. I feel it's mandatory to come here when you're in LA. It's like Paris and it's Eiffel Tower

This is a cool spot to check out when in the Hollywood area. I enjoyed the stars from the walk of fame.

I stayed within walking distance of the strip. Decided to take a Lyft, but after multiple pickups and drop offs it took forever. In the meantime I got to see all the famous spots! Went into the Rainbow for pizza and beer. Walked and drove by several other venues. Very walker friendly. Still so fun.

You will need a car (or taxi) to explore the area. Plan out what you want to see. Range of accommodation and places to eat and drink, but it is fairly spread out.

So much fun! One of the iconic places to visit. My daughter loved it! This was a family trip and were able to see a lot of the places that she had only seen on TV

for music lovers, this is the place to be in LA!
lots of concert venues with awesome bands, Amoeba shop, Guitar Center and cool shops

Good location for restaurants and nights out. Always busy but that is part of its attraction. Easy to access to all other locations that attract us tourists.

Don't miss this when stopping into Los Angeles. I advised two young Aussie gals on the plane to first learn how to use the Metro travel system in LA, beginning at the LAX, then go to Hollywood and stop off at Hollywood. The entire Sunset Strip is fun, avoiding hospital row up near Bev Hills. Start where the stars meet the sidewalk. End at the Brite Spot, just sayin'.

We stayed at a hotel on the strip and walked along both sides - lots of history and culture from all the events that have taken place on this busy road

I did not find it any special but a very nice neigbhborhood and a good place to take a walk or have a meal.

Interesting people to watch, quite different from Atlanta Ga. Enjoyed the trip and can't wait to come back.

The strip is infamous so you have to make a visit of it, even though it s a huge stretch of road, make an effort to drive through, park up and have a little wander through shops and restaurant as and see the famous landmarks throughout the stretch.
