Johnny Depp with a Silent Partner opened the Viper Room in August 1993. It quickly became the place to be in Hollywood with its history and rich ambiance. Johnny Depp wanted the Viper Room to be a place where famous people wouldn’t feel “like they’re on display.”
However, that wasn’t the case on the night before Halloween months later. Actor River Phoenix, who had been in the club that night, died of a drug overdose just outside the front door. After, Depp had a hard time returning to the Viper Room.
In 2004, Johnny Depp sold his shares of the club, and new management took it in 2008. Depp put the Viper Room behind him, but the memory of Phoenix's death never left. "In the arm's of the Angel's Beautiful River" 🕯
