  • LOVE HRCs. Love the ambience of it all. I also have a very small collection of pilsner glasses from different cities, which will look cool in my home bar someday.

    I collect the Hurricane glasses, they are really good for drinking cocktails from.
    Astoria 20/04/06, Leeds 25/08/06, Prague 22/09/06, Wembley 18/06/07,
    Dusseldorf 21/06/07, Manchester 17/08/09, London 18/08/09, LA 06/10/09, LA 07/10/09.

    Ain't gonna be any middle anymore.
  • WOW!!! If any of you ever get to the Goldcoast, Queensland (Australia) you really HAVE to visit the Hard Rock Cafe there!!!! I can't comment on what any of the HRC's are like anywhere else in the world, but HRC in Surfers Paradise is FANTASTIC!!! Seriously.....can't fault it!

    * the atmosphere is great! Awesome entertainment!
    * the staff are AMAZING!!! (to say the least) they all seemed like old friends, yet still totally professional. Even though it was always packed, we were always made to feel like we were their only customers....not just another number.
    * the food....OMG! the food is to die for and really reasonably priced too.
    *the service is top-notch, second to none!!!


    I honestly can't say enough about that place!!!

    There's also another side to the HRC.....they do alot of wonderful work, that maybe a lot of people don't know about - raising a LOT of money for wonderful, wonderful causes. I'm sure there's a site or something that gives all the info; on this.


    I do, however, have 1 complaint :( We live in Western Australia, so can only go to HRC when on holiday :( If we lived over there, we would be there (HRC) whenever possible!!!

    When you say 'earned it' I assume you mean you drank a shit load of cocktails and got wasted.

    There is so many great causes they've raised money for in the past and as I said there's probably a site somewhere telling all about it......but....here's a link to the lasest.

    :eek: I HATE the food in France... I lost about 2 dress sizes when I lived there cos I was on a liquid diet :)
    Jeez Hell, there's more to food than Bangers and Mash, Fish n Chips, and, ugh, Irish stews.

    I couldn't stop eating in Paris last year. Then I promptly lost all the weight gained once I hit London. Blegh.

    I was dragged to one in London by a girl about 5 years ago and I remember that the price of a bottle - no draught - beer was extortionate. I also remember the staff hussling us out of the place as soon as we'd finished our food so that they could ferry in some more customers. It was one of the most soulless money grubbing corporate whorehouses I've ever been unfortunate enough to have set foot in.
    Hard rock my ass. More like hard cock!
    wow beer in the uk expensive.. who'd have thought that :p

    I'd only hate the Hard Rock cafe if they didn't have any Pearl Jam stuff... but they do... so i can't say... plus i've never been! :p

    Hahaha... only one of them is Irish :) . And hinn, the food's better here than in England. If you eat in a pub there, it's like the only vegetable they have is peas :eek: and once you put peas in water they're ruined anyway :(

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
