THE LEGENDARY RAINBOW BAR & GRILL
NOW AVAILABLE FOR LICENSING
The
Rainbow is a restaurant of sorts, a bar of other sorts, and a hang-out
par excellence; the Rainbow is also a monument to Rock Capitalism in
the 70s. It was originally conceived by Bob Gibson, Last Press Agent
Before the Freeway and probably the most important and influential music-biz
PR nabob in the world. He gathered together a group of friends and/or
associates as fellow investors in the project. These included his partner
Gary Stromberg, manager extraordinaire Roy Silver, P.R.-tist colleagues
like Mike Ochs (Columbia, Shelter) and Corb Donahue (ABC-Dunhill, Costa
Rica), Bob Regher of Warner Records and The World of Fine Art, Ode Records
honcho Lou Adler, attorney Red Flier, and Elmer Valentine and Mario
Maglieri (who own the Rainbow and most of the rest of the Sunset Strip).
The Rainbow was planned mainly as a hang-out for the record industry
and as a place to hold press parties.

The Rainbow is a landmark on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California. More Rock ‘n Roll history has taken place in this establishment than in most cities in the United States combined. The Rainbow name has become a staple for many of today’s bands including the Beatles, the Doors, Motley Crue, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Motorhead and Ozzy Osbourne. “Everybody who is anybody has been there.”
Upstairs is a members-only club called ---what else?--- Over The Rainbow, which caters to pop stars, record execs and anybody else from downstairs who can somehow talk their way in (not easy; they've been known to turn away the likes of John Entwistle). But even if you can't get in upstairs, there's always an eyeful at the bar or eating dinner. Either way, you can't miss.
