From 1995 the Pussycat Dolls performed as a dance revue in the Viper Room for some time.
In 1991, Oliver Stone used the building as a backdrop for a scene in the film The Doors . The club was also mentioned on the Riverdale television series .
River Phoenix collapsed on Halloween night in 1993 in front of the Viper Room after an overdose of a speedball and died a little later.
