This was the location of Gazzari's, which was one of the top rock venues in the world during the 70's and 80's. Former owner Bill Gazzari was known as the Godfather of Rock n Roll, and was responsible for 'breaking in' major acts at his club, such as Van Halen.

Before that, during the 30's and 40's, this was the location of Sherry's Restaurant, a favorite hangout for mobsters. It was at this location that Mickey Cohen was gunned down in a failed hit. Click on the picture below to see a close up of the crime scene.
