Editorial Review for Rainbow Bar & Grill – by Shivon V. Tuoni
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.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoEveryone knows that the Rainbow's pizza is worthy of any metal god's mouth.
Look GoodFor some real '80s mullet action, head upstairs to the nautical-themed bar with a dance floor.

I go to this place all the time! For years I go there at least twice a month. I just read a bad review about the service. This man said he was offended because the waitress asked for a larger tip and when I checked the other review he had written about another restaurant he said the same thing about that waiter...? Sounds to me like he needs to leave better tips. The preferred tip in LA is 20% but at the very least 15%. These servers depend on these tips to pay their bills. Also, the server sections are tiny (most of the time only 3 tables). So every tip counts. The Rainbow is a hard place to work. They have no computer so everything is done by hand. Because of this the servers are forced to wait in long bar lines. Also, the food orders are made in no particular order. It isn't uncommon to wait 45 minutes for hot wings. These time delays are not the servers fault. It is a fun atmosphere and the food is great! If you don't want a confrontation you shouldn't disrespect someone with a rude tip.
Pros: Nice and easy on the eyes waitresses!
Cons: Sometimes long wait for food.

Food was pretty good and the service was FAIR until it came to the tip the waitress complained to me that the tip was NOT BIG enough and I should of given her a BIGGER tip.... She is lucky to have gotten what she got.. I will NOT be returning to the restaurant..... I might return when and if they (the restaurant) get better wait staff until then NO...
Pros: The food was just OK!!!
Cons: The waitress wanted a BIGGER tip and compained about it to the customer!!!
