Coconut Teaszer

The Coconut Teaszer was a bar and club on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, California in the 1990s, formerly located at 8117 Sunset Blvd. (at the corner of Crescent Heights).

Their downstairs bar was called the Crooked Bar.

The Coconut Teaszer was a 1990s landmark for musicians to get noticed, and had hosted many bands including Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against The Machine, Weezer, Stray Cats, Social Distortion, Hole, Gin Blossoms, Green Day, The Wallflowers, Smash mouth, Radiohead, and Alien Ant Farm.

Coconut Teaszer was a bastion of L.A. rock for nearly three decades. Bands such as the Wallflowers, Alien Ant Farm and Weezer had weekly residencies at the Sunset Strip nightclub and each walked away with major label deals. The Coconut Teaszer featured the first L.A. showcases by Nirvana and Green Day.

After closing, the 8117 Sunset Blvd. location later became the Shelter supperclub, then Privilege supperclub, and now a restaurant known as "XIV by Michael Mina".
