WASHINGTON - VICTORY LOUNGE
433 Eastlake Ave E
Seattle, WA 98109
During my last visit to Seattle, I felt I had stumbled into a shitty Ralph Lauren commercial from 1992, wading through yuppies with sweaters draped over their shoulders docking vintage speedboats throughout the Sound. But hey, there’s still weed, remnants of bad grunge, and people clearing out their broom closet for rock n roll. Victory Lounge has all that, AND a patio, so you can bask in the, uh...grey.
WEST VIRGINIA - BLUE PARROT
14 1/2 Capitol St
Charleston, WV 25301
Hillbilly folks are a dying breed, and West Virginia is their last stand. If you’re just passing through or staying for a night, you can still feel the last salts of the earth sprinkled throughout places like Charleston. And in the local bars, you can still hear bits and of the true outlaw spirit that only exists in Appalachia. Lemmy was someone defined by his ability to walk his own path and never stray. Go to the Blue Parrot and experience it all before it’s too late.
WISCONSIN - FRANK’S POWER PLANT
2800 S Kinnickinnic Ave
Milwaukee, WI 53207
Milwaukee is the home of the great beer American machine, so of course Lemmy would feel at home here. I once had the pleasure of melting my brain to Christian Mistress in the back of Frank’s, so I’ll love it forever. Grow a beard, have a sausage, get fat and weird. Milwaukee loves Lemmy.
WYOMING - THE CROWN BAR
222 W Lincoln Way
Cheyenne, WY 82001
No true Motörhead fan will question Lemmy’s fascination with the old west. I know it sounds like regurgitated garbage when you hear, ‘In Wyoming, the spirit of the West lives,’ but unfortunately, in some of the most horrible ways, it really does. Locals are tough and going to town is still a big deal. It’s not uncommon to drink with cowboys, bikers, oil rig workers, and speed freaks. I once saw a man throw a dart into someone’s head, then watched an Ozzy tribute band and left swearing I’d never drink Crown Royal again. The Wild West earned its name. Not the Wild West Coast or the Wild East Coast, THE Wild West. Go see it and maybe even buy your drinks to go (yes, thats legal there).
