Well here it is, the very first Hard Rock Cafe. Oddly enough for someone who has traveled much of the world and considering the fact that there are more than 100 of these in 28 countries around the world, this is the only Hard Rock Cafe outside of Toronto that I have eaten in. It is sort of the thing to do while in London. It may say something about London's poor reputation for quality restaurants, that this was best meal that I had while stayed there.
Besides the burger's which are much better than average, the Hard Rock Cafe is particularly notable for the wonderful collection of rock and roll memorabilia that decorates the walls. It is one of the largest such collections in the world, as it should be considering rock music history in London.
The restaurant is extremely popular with tourists and in fact 12 million have eaten here. I ate here a about 5:30pm and managed to get the last seat available at the bar. By the time I left an hour later, patrons were lined up down the block to get in.
The restaurant is open from 11:30am to midnight.
I had a really good cheeseburger.

Does a Hard Rock Cafe need much description? Well in case you haven't been in one, its basically a glorified burger bar with glorified prices. This is probably a slightly unfair description, but you get the idea.
It is not uncommon to see reasonable queues trying to get in to the London HRC. The food itself is far from spectacular, but you can pass the time looking at the Rock memorabilia hanging on the walls .
Restaurant:
Mon - Thurs 11.30am - 12.00am
Fri & Sat 11.30am - 1am
Sun 11.30am - 11.30pm
*Open daily for Breakfast from 8.00am - 11.00am
Merchandise:
Sun - Thurs 9.00am - 12.30am

Now that would be a tough one! Leave a Comment

I can't leave out Paul McCartney. His suit was also directly behind us. George and Ringo's suits were behind the table next to us. I did not get a picture of them because I did not want to blind the people eating there with my camera's flash attachment. However now that its been a year later I wish that I would have just been a rude tourist and gone ahead and taken the pictures. It would have completed my set. Leave a Comment

I do not make it a habit to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe's when I travel. I much prefer to eat at someplace that is local and not a chain restaurant. I always look up the Hard Rock Cafe though so I can buy a souvineer tee shirt. I have quite a few from my travels. However Danielle and I did decide to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe in London for several reasons. First because it was the very first Hard Rock Cafe it had a particular significance to other Hard Rock Cafe's. Secondly we were in London and I assumed there would be some Beatles memorablila in the restaurant. Leave a Comment

So now the question is "Was it really worth our time to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe in London." Well if you have been following this Liverpool/London vacation of ours you will know the Beatles were a big part of why I wanted to take this trip. When we were seated, much to my pleasure, we were placed directly between the suits John Lennon and Paul McCartney wore in the early days of The Beatles. The food could have been terrible and I would still have left with a postive experience just for the chance to see the suits. And the food was OK. Typical Hard Rock food. Leave a Comment

This Hard Rock Cafe, touted as the original of all HRC joints, was opened in London on June 14th, 1971, by two Americans who thought Europe should have a taste of good old authentic, American cooking... and flavored with a heavy dose of rock 'n' roll! Today, this place is the hang-out for the global tribe of rock 'n' roll yuppies, guppies and everyone else....
Note: Try celebrating your birthday here and see what the HRC staff will do to you! We celebrated a fake birthday here once (some years back) all because we wanted a free brownie and balloons. The poor victim was a male friend of ours - who gamely faced the embarassment of having to stand atop the table whilst the HRC staff got everybody at the restaurant to sing 'Happy Birthday' to him! It took us a loooong while before we stepped foot into Hard Rock Cafe London again. Five long years to be exact!
Everything here is nice from their delicious Fajitas to Cheeseburgers. My personal favorite is HRC's world famous Brownies (topped with a scoop of Haagen Daaz CHOCOLATE ice cream).

The London Hard Rock Cafe is the original. While most people think of the Hard Rock Cafe as an American restaurant, it is actually British. The London location has a vault of rock paraphenalia across the street from the Cafe. The cafe also has the normal share of guitars, clothing and letters that the Hard Rock is renowned for.
All of the food is very well prepared, and the portions are very generous. I greatly enjoy the cobb salad. :) Leave a Comment
