Get the rock & roll mug.The infamous Ralphs grocery store on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood, California. Notorious for being packed around 2 to 3 AM after the clubs close, with drunken people trying to buy liquor for after-hours parties.
The scene of many alcohol-induced collapses and vomitings.
So named not only for it's late-night debauchery, but also it's proximity to Guitar Center, and the other music stores nearby on Sunset Blvd.
