Named after the infamous LA club, the Viper Room opened a few years ago on the Chapel Street strip. It has since carved out a niche as a home for serious house music fans, with some of the city's top DJs like Jason Digby and Queen Martine in residence. On Fridays, DJs Kat, Billy Solos, Matt Crawford and Peter McNamara play music with a more underground edge. The venue itself, perched above Chapel Street, is quite small and the queues can be daunting.
