Music Lovers will Love This!

I was heading to a comedy show later that night was just going to grab a quick drink, so I walked into Hard Rock Times Square and I ended up not wanting to leave. (Turns out, my time at Hard Rock was much more entertaining than the comedy show, so I wish I stayed longer.)

If you’re a fan of music and have ever been to a Hard Rock Café, you probably know how easily you can get sucked into the memorabilia and photographs plastered all over the walls of the entire restaurant.  Even the woman’s bathroom had an enormous blown up wall photo of Justin Timberlake greeting you as you choose a stall. 

There was a large full bar and since it was after 11:30pm the dining space was pretty cleared out, so it was a great time to roam around and check out all the décor throughout the restaurant.  The coolest things that stood out to me were the guitar wall- essentially an entire wall completely covered in electric guitars of varying styles and colors, and the Hard Rock Stage.  The stage was empty that night, so I inquired about when shows are put on, and the server I spoke with explained that even the employees don’t know the show schedule – they are meant to be a surprise for everyone in the restaurant.

I honestly felt like I could have spent all night in this place, looking at all the amazing music-inspired memorabilia.

We Recommend:

  • S.O.B. Burger: Aside from having a cool name, this spicy burger is topped with chipotle pepper puree and jack cheese. It's one of many incredible burger selections at Hard Rock New York.
