In November 2016, the iconic Rainbow Bar & Grill transformed its patio into a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Lemmy Kilmister by renaming it “Lemmy’s Lounge.” This gesture perfectly captured the essence of Lemmy, who spent countless hours on that very patio when he wasn't on tour or in the studio. The Rainbow proudly displays a life-size bronze statue of Lemmy, which has become a pilgrimage site for fans from around the globe. Lemmy’s Lounge provides both die-hard enthusiasts and casual patrons the opportunity to immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere and savor the offerings that Lemmy cherished.
On Friday, April 19, 2024, the ashes of Motörhead's iconic frontman, Lemmy Kilmister, were forever enshrined at the renowned Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California.
