Today the bar serves as a frequent hotspot for much of the young Hollywood population in Los Angeles. It is owned by Grammy Award-winning American music legend Lou Adler and his sons, Nicolaj 'Nic' Adler and Cisco Adler, who are also in charge of operations. On the Rox is a somewhat hidden bar located above the Roxy Theater (often just the Roxy) on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California. In January 2014, Goldenvoice became the exclusive promoter for The Roxy & ushered in a new era by bringing in big-name acts such as U2 & Foo Fighters. The bar was a regular hangout for John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, Alice Cooper and Keith Moon during Lennon's 'lost weekend' in 1973-74 and hosted parties arranged by Heidi Fleiss in the 1980s. The small On the Rox bar above the club has hosted a wide variety of debauchery in its history. Tom Eyen's hit comedy Women Behind Bars enjoyed a long extended run with such stars as Lu Leonard, Adrienne Barbeau, Sally Kellerman, and Linda Blair, and was the site of the very first AIDS benefit ever held in Los Angeles on July 27, 1983. Paul Reubens, then a struggling comedian, introduced his Pee-wee Herman character in a raunchy revue here in 1981 that included such aspiring comics as Phil Hartman and Elayne Boosler. Only three months later, the Genesis lineup with Peter Gabriel played several consecutive days at the Roxy, a run that some band members and many fans consider to be amongst their finest performances (due in part, to the intimate atmosphere and good acoustics of the venue). Neil Young and the Santa Monica Flyers (billed as Crazy Horse, a related ensemble) played the Roxy for the first three days it was open.

(Adler was also responsible for bringing the stage play The Rocky Horror Show to the United States, and it opened its first American run at The Roxy Theatre in 1974, before it was made into the movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show the next year.) They took over the building previously occupied by a strip club owned by Chuck Landis called the Largo. The Roxy was opened on September 23, 1973, by Elmer Valentine and Lou Adler, along with original partners David Geffen, Elliot Roberts and Peter Asher.
