Ciro’s was a nightclub in West Hollywood, California, at 8433 Sunset Boulevard (1940 -1957). It combined a luxe baroque interior and an unadorned exterior and became a famous hangout for movie people of the 1940s and 1950s. Lana Turner often said Ciro’s was her favorite nightspot. During his first visit to Hollywood in the late 1940s, future President John F. Kennedy dined at Ciro’s.
