When you need a big burger or a pulled pork sandwich with a shake, The Hard Rock Cafe is the place to come.

The Venue
The split-level, wood-panelled room is done up in an American retro diner look, with famous guitars and outfits adorning the walls. More music paraphernalia can be found in the Hard Rock Cafe shop next door. The look is jukebox meets soda fountains, with lots of wooden tables and chairs - too many for comfort, really - and bar seating. Be prepared for a wait at certain times of day - in fact, the original founder used to say that the day the Hard Rock Cafe stopped having a queue outside would be the day he closes the venue.

The Atmosphere
Predictably, it’s loud and family oriented. The Hard Rock Cafe is not a place to linger in , but service is fast and food brought in large quantities so it is very good for parties and crowds, as long as you book beforehand.

The Food
The menu is one of the original American diner menus. You can get all your American staples like hamburgers with lots of toppings and some all time favourites like potato skins, smokehouse ribs and pulled pork sandwiches. There are great salads, in huge portions, for vegetarians and every legendary dessert under the sun from cheesecake to fudge brownies. It is the genuine article as far as recreating the taste of your US holiday.

The Drink
There is an array of cocktails, such as good daiquiris and beers and excellent, thick malted shakes.

The Last Word
When you need your US fix and if you can enter into the party spirit, you won’t be disappointed with this place.
