RAWK! This is my preferred stop when walking from US Bank tower to Chase Field for Diamondbacks game. It's a long walk and I get thirsty. Don't judge me. The burgers at lunch are great but what I like best is how cold they keep their beer. You're thinking, "So the Hard Rock has cold beer, big whoop." Well think again, Sport. Undercooled (totally a word) draft beer is an epidemic, even more so during the summer months when cooling systems are working triple hard.
I've been in this Hard Rock dozens of times but I never tire of the memorabilia, especially the Prince homage that stares you in the mug right when you walk in the door. The only thing I do tire of is the stale loop of videos that play on the monitors. I'm a music snob and Taking Back Sunday clips bore the crap out of me.
The staff works really hard and can jive talk with the best of 'em. Stop in, say hello, and order a ice cold brew (if you're old enough... they'll check).
