I don't think the boys would frequent such a lousy burger joint, do you?

Haven't got a clue if they've ever visited, but if you like ribs, Sticky Fingers does a mean rack of ribs. Mmmm yum !! And the bar does a mean Capairinha too !!

Is Bill still involved in this place?

I'm sure I've heard in recent years that he sold it as a going concern, but I might be mistaken.

Ronnie has visited Sticky Fingers and Jerry Hall has too. I don´t know about Mick, Keith and Charlie.

I'm sure I saw a picture of all of the stones attending the opening of the first restaurant. Don't remember where though...

A friend of mine saw them at an Halloween Party back in 1990.

I was there in April 06 and the locals told me Bill sold out his interest in the
sticky fingers because he needed the cash and all his assets are either cars or
real estate.

he needed the cash? yeah right!

Life's just a cocktail party on the street

why is that so hard to believe many rock and rollers have pissed away their
money and do not have LIQUIDITY it does not mean you are BROKE.

Accounting 101 - Its all about the cash cyle thats what makes the world go round and round Accrual accounting or assets tied up in real esate or equity securities don't give you the flexibility and liquidity.

Does Bill have goats head soup on da menu...?

He use to have Beggars Banquet with Brown Sugar, etc..

It's a decent restuarant. The burgers are fantastic. You're wallet will hurt there though!

maybe not.............but odds are they chowed-down on some Wimpy's burgers when they we're scruffy kids

I went to the one in London and spent so much time drooling over the memorabilia my food was soggy.

That brings back memories of Wyman's book, talking about how they were so poor when he joined he took pity on them and took them round to the Wimpy bar and bought them a burger.

What I want to know about Bill's restaurant is how does it compare to a Hard Rock Cafe? Better memorabillia/food or worse? I have been to plenty of Hard Rocks (food and memorabillia both hit and miss depending on the city). I used to have Hard Rock shot glasses from about 20 cities, including Tiajuana. Does Bill have any worthwhile stuff for sale in his shop (I'm assuming there is one)?

Agree with you. But souvenirs need to be paid. Music is....good too !!!

I am going to be in London in November, is there a web site for Bill's restaurant. Would love to check it out.

No but I did see them in McDonalds with Mick Taylor once. Mick J, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie were having the salad. Mick T was having a quarter pounder, large fries, large milkshake and a McFlurry.

well as the memorabilia is wall-to-wall Stones, how better can it get?

I can personally attest to the fact that Sticky Fingers has incredibly clean bathrooms, a fact I discovered thanks to the Grand Wyman with cheese.

Nice place. I was there with my family when we visited London in 2000. Great stones pictures and old stones guitars hang on the wall. Food was costly but the atmosphere was great. Sorry to hear Bill sold it off. He should be so rich but I guess he must have blow some money away somehow. Miss his bass guitar. The band still sounds great but just not the same.
