Partying in Jim Morrison’s Old Crash Pad
There’s always a reason to throw a party.
Maybe your birthday’s coming up. Maybe Adriana Lima’s birthday’s coming up. (Friendly reminder: it’s Sunday.)
Or maybe you’re just thirsty for some rock history and a little vodka...
Introducing Morrison Room, a secret new party spot tucked above the Sunset Strip, available now for private events.
Yes: it’s named after Jim. And yes: there’s a legit reason for that. It sits on top of Dukes diner, right next to the Whisky and across from the Viper Room. The Doors used to play at this location back in the ’60s—and Jim Morrison supposedly even lived up here for a while. (Sadly, no hair products remain.)
So next time you want to host a casually historic blowout for 99 or so friends, this is the place. You’ll enter from the valet lot out back, descend a long staircase and, instead of entering the restaurant, go past the lizards painted on the red wall and up some stairs.
That’s where you’ll find a breezy little indoor/outdoor rock dive of painted brick and corrugated metal. There’s also a bar and a whole wall of rock-star mug shots—everybody from Elvis to Bowie to Jim himself.
Don’t take this as encouragement.

Jim Morrison Room At Duke's Coffee Shop
There are two entrances, through Duke’s (cross the dining room and there’s an alley plus set of stairs that leads you up), or through the parking lot in the back. Morrison Room has two outdoor patios, pretty non-descript, a blank slate that any event could easily customize and dress up. There’s one indoor area that connects the patios and houses a bar, DJ area, plus one wall bedecked with mug shots, some of the late Jim Morrison (this space once served as his apartment). Anyhoo, those looking to book a private event can contact Duke’s. · Morrison Room To Remain Private Event Space [~ELA~] · Updates on Duke’s, Jim Morrison Lounge Under Construction [~ELA~]
