More information on Hard Rock Cafe

Rock 'n' roll junkies will love this two-storey restaurant with a larger-than-life Gibson guitar over the front entrance. A showcase for mainstream music memorabilia, objects include a piano used by the band Chicago, Brian Ferry's denim jacket, one of George Harrison's suits and scores of autographed posters and photographs. Choose from classic American fare such as burgers, baby-back ribs, homemade chili and incredibly good shakes. Be prepared for a wait, especially on the weekends when people from the suburbs crowd in. This atmosphere is not conducive to a relaxing or quiet meal. Expect a frantic, high energy environment filled with kinetic sights, sounds and smells. Live entertainment on the weekends. Reservations accepted for large groups only.Disabled Access.
