The Viper Room is arguably the most famous nightclub in Los Angeles because of a number of controversies surrounding it as well as actor Johnny Depp's association with the venue. The Viper Room, located on Sunset Blvd., was the location of the tragic overdose death of young actor River Phoenix at the age of 23. The club survived that tragedy thanks, in large part due to the popularity of co-owner Johnny Depp.
