THE debaucherous 90s club The Viper Room was once the playground of a host of A-list celebrities after Johnny Depp launched it as a rock venue in 1993.
Despite actor River Phoenix dying on the sidewalk outside the club within months of its opening, it became the stomping ground of young 90s stars such as Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Aniston, and Uma Thurman.
