What People Are Saying About Rainbow Bar & Grill
Featured Review

In Short – It's been around since 1972, but the Rainbow definitely had its heyday in the '80s--and never let go. Gold records, guitars, photos and autographs from the likes of Lita Ford, Poison, Van Halen and other metal gods adorn the walls. And these rockers will always have a place at Rainbow, down to Slash's corner table and Lemmy from Motorhead's favorite Ms. Pac Man game at the bar. – –
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Everyone knows that the Rainbow's pizza is worthy of any metal god's mouth.
- Look Good:
- For some real '80s mullet action, head upstairs to the nautical-themed bar with a dance floor.

Bouncer choked me before I even went inside
by MB83
I would not recommend this place for many reasons but I'm just going to focus on the assault that took place. I did not even want to hang out there and had asked the bouncer if I could go in for a second and look for my friends who jumped over there after the roxy. He made it clear I would have to pay the $10 cover to enter no matter what. I was annoyed but stood outside trying to get a hold of them on my phone. While waiting I was pushed aside into the fence and retorted with "hey, don't push me", just like I think anyone would say in the moment. He then proceeded to drag me by the neck all the way to the sidewalk. I think this is a decent enough reason to never spend a dollar there. I hate the strip anyway. By the way, he's the one who's white, looks at least half-retarded, and wears glasses. They were all dicks though.
WORST EXPERIENCE
by sonson sonson
My lunch date and i went to rainbow thinking we were going to get some good service but OH NO MY FRIENDS!!! They were so FREAKING slow if they went any slower they would be going back wards. Betty white could have moved faster than these people. Took us 30 minutes to get our food and when she served our food i had to ask for ranch, a box, a bag AND the check all at once because my dang lunch was already over. Dont "thaaaaaank you sooo much for waiting" me. She didnt even care that we had to wait. I would not recommend this place to ANYONE. If you like slow service and feeling negelected then feel free to go to rainbow but i will not be going there again.
This is a R & R Bar - Not Spago's! Deal with it!

I've been going to the 'bow for a long time, so I know who these types of people are who post negative reviews about the food, the waitresses, the atmosphere, the bouncers, the this, the that, etc. These people are "complainers" PERIOD! The Rainbow is not some high society "Beverly Hills" restaurant. You should have figured that out when you saw the Motorhead billboard hanging over the roof outside. And the place can get as crowded as a sardine can, so if you don't like people, especially goupies, musicians, and other entertainment industry folks then don't bother coming. And if you bring a bad attitude inside then they will throw your ass out faster than you can say "Ace of Spades". Everyone I've seen get kicked out of the 'bow DESERVED IT 100%. As for the rest of the happy people inside we'll be enjoying Christy's drinks or the great food that's cooked up by the chef who began working at the Rainbow before even Guns 'n Roses was hanging out here.
Not what it used to be-sorry
by Kipling2308
DO NOT GO HERE. My boyfriend who loves all this music thought this was nothing more than an overpriced hard rock cafe and he has been coming here off and on for the last ten years. DO NOT EAT HERE. The food is so average McDonalds would get a Michelin star in comparison. When I complained about the fact my pizza had meat on it & I had ordered a cheese and tomato no meat I was told they couldn't understand me. When I complained I had waited over 2 hours for my food I got abused quite full on. Simply don't bother. The rock heritage means as much as your parents record collection. Nice but not really real,
Best Rock and Roll Hang Out
by john81
This place is a must if you are visiting West Hollywood or passing by the area.
The decor is very entertaining and has lots of pictures of celebrities and rock stars throughout the restaurant almost like a museum.
They have a pretty good selection of food but I usually stick to the pizza. The mozzarella sticks are also a must try.
- Pros: Great atmoshere, and pizza
- Cons: none
