'''1608 Cosmo St.''' is the former location of '''Cosmos Bar''', an independent venue that hosted alternative rock shows in the 1990's. Shows on Sunday nights were referred to as '''The Gaslight''', and shows on Wednesday nights were referred to as '''Gaslight II'''. It was located at the corner of Hollywood Blvd and Cosmo St. in Hollywood. [[Weezer]] performed there at least nine times in [[1993]] and [[1994]].

{{Quote|...five local bands grace its tiny stage every Sunday at Gaslight and Wednesday at Gaslight II, playing to a party-minded crowd of mainly Hollywood locals... The feel here is that of a neighborhood pub rather than a Hollywood showcase, and most of the bands that play here are casual enough to fit right in.

Patrons in faded T-shirts and jeans talk over the music in cubbyholes around the cavernous club. Upstairs, couples smooch in a comfortable room on satiny, granny-style furniture. The pool tables next to the dance floor are constantly in use, while the small brick patio boasts a quieter appeal.|Lorranie Ali|[[Los Angeles Times article - March 13, 1994|''Los Angeles Times'' article - March 13, 1994]]}}
