Come enjoy an evening at Ciro’s on the Sunset Strip! “The most attractive nightclub Hollywood has ever known” opened its doors at 8433 Sunset Boulevard in 1940, six years after its first short-lived iteration at the Christie Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard.
Originally a celebrity-only hotspot, Ciro’s had a starring role in the Hollywood PR machine: “If a gal like Lana Turner or Betty Grable or Dorothy Lamour acquires a new romantic affiliation, she shows him off at Ciro’s,” reported Hubbard Kealy, Los Angeles Bureau Chief of the Associated Press, in 1941. “Everybody stares at everybody at Ciro’s. The hawk-like glances at the new arrivals would embarrass ordinary people. But if you go to see, you must expect to be seen.”
