Rage (West Hollywood LGBTQ Nightclub/1983-2020)

Rage was the pulsating heart of West Hollywood’s gay nightlife for nearly four decades. Opened in 1983 at 8911 Santa Monica Boulevard, it was a two-story nightclub and restaurant celebrated for its epic dance nights, drag shows, themed events, and an inclusive 18+ space beloved by teens and adults alike. Despite surviving lease disputes, changing ownership, and evolving nightlife trends, the COVID-19 pandemic and rising rent finally silenced its beats in September 2020, after owners couldn’t renew with their long-time landlord.

Rage was more than a club—it was a community hub. From Saturday nights pulsing with DJs to events catering to Asian, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ crowds, it balanced high-energy beats with heartfelt inclusivity. Its closure wasn’t just another venue gone—it marked the end of an era when queer space wrestled with economic pressure and cultural change.

I use Bella + Canvas 3001 Unisex tees for all of my designs. They are a soft and light cotton. If you love another brand, please let me know and I can see if I can source it. I can also do my designs on tanks, long sleeve tees, sweatshirts, hoodies and posters. Just reach out with any custom requests and I'll gladly help you out. I do like large prints, but if you want the design scaled down, please contact me before placing an order and I can send you some mock ups.
