Abstract
Studio One Disco Nightclub in West Hollywood was one of the most iconic discos in Los Angeles. Open from 1974-1993, it was one of the longest-lasting establishments of the disco era. Located at 652 LaPeer Drive in West Hollywood, it was open seven days a week from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. and touted itself “L.A.’s Biggest and Best!” Complete with erotic dancers, Cabaret, "Backlot" entertainment, themed parties, dining and theater, the Studio was a fixture of the Los Angeles gay scene. However, Studio One also gained infamy for it's ongoing discrimination against certain would-be clientele for matters such as race and social class.
