"You could argue that Rainbow Bar is more Grunge Hollywood than Old Hollywood and probably have a solid case. But we’re including it here anyway because LA wouldn’t be the same place without it. Frequented by rock ‘n roll heads, actors, and their assorted groupies since the ‘70s, you never know who or what you might see at the Rainbow. What we can guarantee is loud music (often live), people who are there to listen to it, and big, cheesy pizzas that will silence the whiny friend in the group who wanted to go to On The Rox instead. If you’re looking to drink stiff Jack and Cokes and smoke without judgment in leather pants, this historic Sunset Strip fixture is the place to do it." - Brant Cox
