Another addition to the numerous watering holes in the city. Hard Rock Café, Bengaluru is perhaps the only Cafe of international fame to have set shop here. Located at the intersection of M G Road and St. Marks road of Metropolitan Bangalore, this place is sure to pull the crowd by the numbers.
Started way back in the seventies in erstwhile London, this quirky little American diner was catapulted to fame by none other than Eric Clapton – The Original Guitar God, who was a regular at this place and wanted the table earmarked for him by putting up a plaque or something of sorts. This is when the two Young enterprising proprietors Isaac Tigrett and Peter Morton requested (the request here was more of a chuckle) Clapton for his guitar to be put up, and as they say the rest is history.
This started the trend and guitars and memorabilia never stopped coming. Today there are more than 70,000 guitars, drums, pianos, harmonicas, microphones, shirts, pants, scarves, shoes, handwritten lyrics, cars, bikes, a bus and assorted rock memorabilia - by far, the largest, most valuable such collection in the world - on the walls of over 138 Hard Rock Cafes, Hotels and Casinos in 42 countries around the world.
Hard Rock Café, Bengaluru is setup is set up in colonial stone walled building with tiled roofs. This definitely adds a touch of history and grandeur to the place. The Café in total has about 9,000 Square foot of space which is divided into three distinct sections, this including a 100-seat restaurant, a bar area with more than 120 seats (there is also a stage just above the bar for those exhilarating live performances) and an open courtyard, as well as Hard Rock’s signature retail Rock Shop. The retail shop has some nice Hard Rock goodies in the form of T-shirts and some pretty good ones at that.
Hard Rock Café has some swanky clientele with the likes of students, Professional and foreign tourists and entrepreneurs alike. The feel and ambience at Hard Rock is definitely upbeat.
So if you are in the mood for some American Rock n Roll music and have that extra buck to spend, Hard Rock Café, Bengaluru is most definitely the place to be.
Hard Rock Café ………ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
