to Anniversary The Rainbow Bar & Grill In April
The Rainbow Bar & Grill, the famed rock ‘n roll hangout on the Sunset Strip, is planning a big 50th celebration on April 24.
The bar, famous as the second home for the late Motörhead bassist Lemmy Kilmister, will have live performances from 1-10 pm featuring some of the acts that once made the Strip the center of the music world in the late ’80s. They include RATT’s Stephen Pearcy, Orgy, Crazy Town, Pretty Boy Floyd, Kurt Deimer, Metal Knights and Whiskey Dogz, along with tribute band Steel Panther.
Admission to the event will be free with a two-drink minimum.
“Honored to be the host for the 50th celebration of this landmark and very much my second home in LA for many years. See you soon,” said promoter Eddie Trunk.
The Rainbow opened in 1972 and has played host to an elite roster of stars, including Slash, Elton John, Keith Moon, Alice Cooper, Mickey Dolenz, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley, among others.
But chief among those rock idols was the late Motörhead frontman Lemmy, who reportedly moved to West Hollywood to be able to walk to the bar. A memorial statue to him was erected on the back patio in 2016, and a mural of him also graces the building.
Guns N Roses and Great White filmed videos at the venue, and the Rainbow was also featured in Motley Crue’s Netflix biopic, The Dirt.

From experience, Sexton and Entelis have gained an understanding of what viewers look for in a documentary from CNN Films.
“Our audience responds to people’s life stories when they are told as well as Betsy and Julie can do it,” Entelis notes, “and when they think that they know something about a subject, but in fact we take them much deeper and we can really reveal things that are not necessarily out in the world.”
Julia, for instance, delves into Child’s World War II experience in the OSS, the precursor to the CIA, and her privileged upbringing. Working with the estate, the filmmakers gained access to home movie of Child (née McWilliams) growing up in Pasadena, California.
