Upcoming Events at The Rainbow
The Rainbow Bar & Grill sits along the iconic Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, a longtime rock hangout where celebs and musicians have gathered for decades. While the downstairs Rainbow Bar & Grill remains the core dining and architectural landmark, the upstairs live space—often referenced in older lore as Over the Rainbow—is a storied part of the venue’s history. The venue’s energy blends casual dining with a longstanding music culture that’s drawn fans from across Los Angeles and beyond.
Whether you’re catching a show, grabbing a bite, or meeting friends after a day in West Hollywood, secure your seats and plan your visit with ease. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotels and restaurants to make your night simple and memorable.
Important notes: The Rainbow Bar & Grill does not publish a single official seating chart or capacity, as capacity varies by event and setup. Street parking, nearby public lots, and valet options provide flexible dining and nightlife access. The closest transit access is near Sunset & Hammond with Line 2 service nearby. Nearby hotels like Andaz West Hollywood, The London West Hollywood, and Chateau Marmont make for convenient stays after your night on the Sunset Strip. For fans of rock history, Lemmy Kilmister’s association with the venue is commemorated by the Lemmy Lounge statue, reflecting the venue’s enduring legacy in rock culture.
We’ll help you find dates, seats, and plans that suit you, with non-pushy guidance and reliable booking support. If a performance or event is rescheduled or date to be announced, we’ll reflect that clearly and keep you informed.
