No List of Hard Rock's would be worth writing if It didn't start with London. Everyone knows I Loooove the city I live in (I say it often enough) but I actually genuinely believe this Hard Rock Café beats them all- biased I may be.
So lets start with the location, This Hard Rock is in a very prestigious and expensive part of the city, which some may think looks out of place. I personally think it isn't and its brings something quite down to earth to the area. The outside building isn't as flashy as some of the others I have been in around the world, but looks can be deceiving and the inside design is very quirky.
The Menu:
So the main thing everyone wants to know about is the Menu. In most restaurant's around the world the menu's are all the same no matter what Hard Rock you dine in, make sure you try their signature Nacho's starter or loaded potato skins (pictured below), their selection of burgers and of course one of their specially made cocktails. You can get the full menu here.
Memorabilia Museum:
One of the things I love about this chain restaurant is that every Hard Rock around the world has a Museum with different musical memorabilia, which you will usually find scattered round the restaurant, and in the merchandise/gift shop usually found next door to the restaurant. London's restaurant is home to the following: 'Eric Clapton's Red Fender Lead II Guitar', 'Daugthry's stage outfit', 'Les Paul's Gibson Les Paul Guitar', 'Madonna's Chemical Bank Card' to find out more you can read about them here.

This is actually the very first Hard Rock Café I ever visited back in 2007 (and probably should have been my number 1) so maybe this where the obsession began? This Café is actually a fairly new restaurant compared to some of the others, it opened 28th March 1998. Located right in the heart of the city, on George Street right off of the main shopping street, Prince's street you will find it hard to even get a seat in this Hard Rock it is very popular with tourists so make sure you book up before you come here.
Memorabilia Museum:
The Musical Memorabilia in this restaurant is as follows: 'Marliyn Manson's Guitar', 'Jimi Hendrix Airline Ticket', 'The Who, Flying V Guitar', 'Pete Farndon Hamer Bass', 'Ringo Starr's Leather Jacket', 'Stevie Ray Vaughan Set List'.

Hard Rock Café- ROME
Address: Via Vittorio Veneto 62 a/b, Rome 00187, Italy
Est: 1998
Rating: 8/10
This was one of my favourite Hard Rocks, (mainly because I fell in love with Rome and every single thing in it) although the décor could have been a bit fancier (it had nothing on the Tenerife Restaurant- more on that one in a minute) the inside details were really nice. I especially loved the little cherubs in the clouds painted on the ceiling. (Not really sure what this had to do with The HRC though?)The restaurant inside was very spacious as was the bar area. There is also another little outside section to the restaurant which is closed in and seats around another 30-40 people, this is usually open when the main restaurant is too busy, and it also holds private functions away from the main public area. Most of the time during the off peak seasons it remains closed but you can usually ask a member of the helpful staff team if you aren't sure.
Here are a few photo's of my time in the Hard Rock Cafe in Rome back last October.

Hard Rock Café- TENERIFE
Address: Avenida De Las Americas s/n, Piramide De Arona, 38660, Playa de las Americas, Tenerife, Spain
Est: 2013
Rating: 9/10
So this is it! This is the one that scores the highest out of them all!! This Hard Rock Restaurant which is located in busy tourist town Playa de las Americas in my book knocks all the other restaurant's I have been to out of the water! Is it any wonder why? The building is just fascinating to look at, there are so many elements to it. Not only is the building amazing it also has an upstairs AND a roof top area, which we were so lucky to get a seat at during our summer holiday last year. So this is why I am giving this restaurant a 9 out of 10, we loved it here so much that we ended up coming back a further 4 times during our 2 week holiday (Talk about dedicate HRC fans).
Here's some of the photos I got whilst we visited last year.

Hard Rock Café- VIENNA
Address: Rotenturmstrasse 25, 1010 Vienna, Austria
Est: 2014
Rating: 5/10
Our Most recent trip to a Hard Rock was just this month when we was in Vienna. This Hard Rock is located very centrally so you should have no problems finding it, you may even walk past by accident like we did. It was a lovely occasion and we celebrated by scoffing down lots of lovely cocktails and a couple of cheeky desserts alongside. Here's some photos of night there, (Look out for some more about this Hard Rock Restaurant in my Vienna post coming to the blog this month).
