English heavy metal band Iron Maiden is bringing its official Eddie’s Dive Bar to Los Angeles.
Fans can visit the legendary Rainbow Bar & Grill located at 9015 Sunset Boulevard and Tom’s Watch Bar at 1011 S Figueroa Street for the free pop-up event.
The traveling bar will welcome metalheads ahead of the group’s headlining performances at BMO Stadium on Friday, Sept. 25, and Sunday, Sept. 27, as part of the Run For the Hills tour, which celebrates the band’s 50th anniversary with a setlist focused on their first nine albums.
Fans will get a chance to pick up exclusive Eddie’s Dive Bar merch, try the new Trooper West Coast IPA, a limited-edition collaboration between Iron Maiden’s Trooper beer brand and IPA pioneer Lagunitas Brewing Company and some of the band’s Darkest Red wine, food, and more.
Iron Maiden superfan and Lagunitas’ first-ever Beer Roadie Lara Mirinjian will pour the specialty beer for attendees. Trooper West Coast IPA, released in July, is the first West Coast IPA under the Trooper label. It’s crafted with a Krush hop variety and delivers a strong and aromatic West Coast profile.
Outside Eddie’s Dive Bar, fans can enjoy the beer at participating retailers and select bars, but it’s best enjoyed with Maiden fans raising their Irons before a show.
In May, the band released “Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition,” a new documentary chronicling the band’s five-decade journey. Directed by Malcolm Venville and produced by Dominic Freeman, the film features interviews with the band, plus appearances by actor Javier Bardem, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, and Public Enemy frontman Chuck D, all discussing Iron Maiden’s influence on music, culture and generations of fans.
