They’ve had their Noise Abatement trials and tribulations of late but there’s no holding The Rainbow back. No way. They’re carrying onwards and upwards, expanding their empire with ‘a slew of new venues which will further transform the area and the truly unique experience for those that use them’.

The Rainbow pub and The Rainbow warehouse will soon be joined by the following:

The Cellar Door (May 2010)

‘May 2010 sees the start our most ambitious period of metamorphosis yet. How do you get more underground than The Rainbow? – only one way – turn the cellar into a venue. The Cellar Door (opening May 28 2010) – is under the very floorboards of the The Rainbow itself. The original Rainbow now consists of Bar, Courtyard and Cellar each delivering a specific flavour to the overall taste of this unique venue.’

The Mezzanine (July 2010)

‘The Rainbow Warehouse has hosted some legendary nights and provided the springboard for some maverick and massively successful brands. Anyone who promotes here has relished the sense of decadence that comes with partying under the arches or the frisson of danger provided by the imposing industrial ironwork throughout the interior. There is only one place left to go UP. Launching in July 2010 The Mezzanine will ensure Summer Daytime parties will be going to new levels as The Rainbow Warehouse installs an innovative take on The Zoo Project and DC10, and allows for open air partying on tiered levels.’

The Arena (October 2010)

‘The Arena is at the Opposite end of Adderley Street. Bringing massed ranks of more Victorian railway arches under the over-reaching curve of The Rainbow’s embrace – The Arena is set to witness musical mayhem and battles reminiscent of The Coliseum – whose amphitheatre architecture it mimics. This massive site alone can cater for a capacity of 5000.’

‘New Era. New Sounds. No Bounds.’ As Rainbow landlord Kent Davis says.
