Gazzarri's (also known as Gazzarri's Hollywood a Go Go) was a nightclub on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California. The venue was a staple of the Los Angeles music scene from the 1960s until the early 1990s. The Doors and Van Halen were featured house bands there before being signed to major record labels. Another prominent local band, L.A. Rocks, was also the house band there in the early 1980s. It was the backdrop for Huey Lewis and the News' short form promotional music video for their 1984 hit The Heart of Rock and Roll.
