This is one of the more vintage Hard Rock Cafes, with the wood paneling and the more hippy funk feel. It is kept up perfectly and is wonderously clean, a standard to which all other Hard Rocks should aspire. The menu is tasty, not a huge wow. They do a much better job of delivering the standards than many other Hard Rock kitchens do, though, I should add.
Potato skins and good drinks go a long way. But you're not here for the food. You're here for the overall experience. The music. The memorabilia. Service here is EXCELLENT. You don't compare this to a foodie joint because they're apples and oranges. This Hard Rock scores a five star because it does what it sets out to do admirably well.
