GWAR to open “gourmet junk food" restaurant "GWAR Bar"

This isn’t a solo venture either. The band has teamed with Travis Coxton, Richmond’s restauranteur of the year 2013, to create a dinner and cocktail menu that will inevitably be one of a kind. The band hopes to raise $50,000 by 21 June to put toward a variety of expenses:

We have found the perfect building in Richmond’s historic Jackson Ward, but we need your help to transform it into a fantasy land of food and beverage that we know it can be. We need a budget to update almost every surface on the interior and exterior of the building, including bars, floors, walls, ceilings and bathrooms. The money we raise on Indiegogo will also be used to help us renovate the kitchen and purchase all the equipment we will need to bring Derks’ vision of “gourmet junk food” to life. We will be building a smoke house to create our world famous GWAR-B-Q. We need a GWAR sized meat grinder to make creative new takes on hot dogs and freshly ground hamburgers.

But most exciting of all, we need funds to create Richmond’s premiere beer garden(beer GWARden) and expansive upper level outdoor deck with views of Abner Clay Park. This unparralled outdoor dinning area is sure to be the favorite hang out spot for everyone from rock stars to businessmen, celebrity chefs to starving artist!

The campaign is currently 6 days deep with 13% funding, and hosts some great perks, such as “our undying scorn” for donations of $1 and a plea of leniency that the overlords spare your miserable life for $10.
