| This past
weekend I went with some friends to check out the new Dr. Feelgood's
Rock Bar & Grill that just opened up in downtown West Palm Beach. Some of the features of the 8,500 square foot club include the huge green snake that spews fog, custom chopper motorcycles, a '57 Chevy front end hanging from the wall, gogo dancers, faux snake & alligator skin booths, rock music memorabilia and bartenders in naughty nurse costumes. The bar was created in part by Vince Neil of the famous 80's heavy metal band Motley Crue. Most of the walls were covered with albums, guitars, records, awards, wardrobe pieces worn on tour and other items from the history of Rock 'N Roll. Vince Neil is known more recently for appearing on the first season of VH1's "The Surreal Life" with MC Hammer & Corey Feldman. |

Some of the other acts that have rocked out the crowds at Dr. Feelgood's include Dave Navarro (Dave's Addiction & Red Hot Chili Peppers), DJ Skribble, DJ Riz, and DJ Sizzahandz. | |

| Dr. Feelgood's Bar & Grill is located at 219 Clematis St. West Palm Beach FL 33401. The venue used to be known as the "Monkey Club" for a few years previously. The new club has 8 owners that include Vince Neil, Todd Wade (Miami Dolphins), Bob Hewko (University of Florida Quarterback), Jim Fazio Jr., Cleve Mash, Rodney Mayo, Dino Baccari, and Mike Mash III. A couple of South Florida's celebrities such as Dennis Rodman (NBA), Jay Fiedler (NY Jets & Miami Dolphins), and Vanilla Ice (a.k.a. Rob Van Winkle) have been spotted hanging out in the ultra-VIP section of Dr. Feelgood's. | |

 Music Memorabilia |
| I've read that Vince Neil plans to open another Dr. Feelgood's Bar & Grill in the Sin City a.k.a. Las Vegas but the other owners expect him to make appearances at the West Palm Beach location at least once a month. Hopefully they'll plan more costume themed events like the "White Trash Bash" which took place in late March of '08. From the pictures I've seen it looked like a really fun time. | |
