GWAR Opens GWARbar in Richmond, Eatery was Final Wish of Former Frontman Dave Brockie

The members of GWAR opened GWARbar on Dec. 31, honoring Dave Brockie's memory with the eatery of his dreams. The alien rockers have always had a knack for marketing, building an empire of KISS-like proportions. GWARbar is open for business in the band's hometown of Richmond, Virginia, according to Blabbermouth.

Nothing about GWARbar is ordinary, which is to be expected from a band that rocks as hard and as weird as GWAR. Guitarist Michael Derks offered a short description of the menu that features "intergalactic junk food."

"The thing most people are surprised about is just how damn good the food is. Head chef Jeremy Dutra (drummer for Richmond's own U.S. Bastards) has made my vision of gourmet junk food rock! With items like our Scumdogs (house made sausages) and McDuckets (a duck, chicken, cheese and truffle nugget) we are turning your guilty pleasures into gastronomic masterpieces!" he said.

Here's what the group offered in May in terms of their vision:

GWARbar will not merely be a place to gorge on delectable food-stuffs whilst hoisting endless flagons of liquid glee...it will not be just a shrine and showcase to the undeniable visual impact of the world's most infamous metal band...the opening of the GWARbar will be the singularly most important culinary event to occur since the invention of the spoon!

GWAR raised funds through an IndieGoGo campaign, where they also explained that Brockie was the brains behind the operation. Unfortunately, the longtime frontman died in March from a drug overdose.
