Hard Rock Cafe

I’ve been to a couple of other Hard Rock Cafes before, so of course I had to go in here as well…
Nice atmosphere, very friendly waiters and delicious food. A little bit expensive so far.
I had the Club Sandwich, which was really good. Didn’t have to wait long for it and the soft drinks got refilled. Thanks to my waitress Gayle for the super good service.

The staff was good but the food was sub par but it was to be expected the kitchen was just getting ready to close anyone going to Ireland in the temple bar area should understand that the kitchen close early so you need to plan ahead for that

I’ve been to over a dozen Hard Rock Cafes, so there was no question I’d be stopping at their Dublin location on my recent visit for lunch. Approaching the restaurant from one road, there’s a series of murals that should be enjoyed — depictions of Irish artists, actors, writers, poets & of course musicians — Van Morrison, Sinead O’Connor & others.
As you enter the restaurant, there is of course a Rock Shop, which is worth a visit after you’ve eaten, but the most noticeable artifact is hanging overhead — the car prop from U2’s Zoo TV tour.
Visiting a Hard Rock, I generally order the same thing every time on my first visit & they nailed it — the Honey Mustard Grilled Chicken. I did feel bad for the hostess, who seemed to not only be serving as hostess, but seating people, cleaning tables, getting drink refills, etc. They had her doing a great deal, & I still had 2 other waitresses serving me.
I went during October & ordered a non alcoholic drink with a portion of the proceeds going toward breast cancer research (or so I hope).
The service was fast, friendly & efficient & a visit to the Rock Shop after my meal did do a bit of damage to my wallet. When I return to Dublin, I’ll definitely be back.

Mein bisher schlechtestes hardrock Café. Ich kann mich der Meinung meiner Vorredner nur anschließen, hier fehlt leider das Ambiente. Preise fanden wir jetzt ok, zumal es ja in den anderen hardrock Cafés ähnlich ist.

Mit der Vorfreude auf einen wieder einmal tollen Besuch in einem anderen Hardrock Café dieser Welt wurden wir hier leider enttäuscht. Weder die Atmosphäre noch die Musikauswahl und das Essen entsprachen unseren Erwartungen, die wir ansonsten in anderen Hardrock Cafés gewohnt waren, was ja auch ein Grund unseres Besuches hier war. Das Essen war leider nur okay. Das Personal ist auf jeden Fall freundlich, aber die Stimmung fehlte einfach im Vergleich zu unseren anderen Besuchen. Dafür alles zu teuer! Schade… Ein anderer Ort ein neuer Versuch!

Hard rock café Paris? Checked
Hard Rock Café Brussels? Checked
Hard Rock Café Dublin? Checked !
Comme tout les hard rock café: on retrouve l’ambiance propre à chaque hard rock café de la chaîné avec cependant une deco’ adapter bien souvent au «pays hôte» ce qui dans ce cas présent est… U2 évidemment !!
Donc si vous voulez voire quelques manuscrits de chanson, une voiture ayant servis lors de l’une de leur tournées mondiale ainsi que les fameuse lunettes de Bono (bulgarie pour ceux qui ont toujours voulus savoir la marque, plus chère que ton dîner…)
vous êtes au bonne endroits.
La nourriture? Pas besoin d’épiloguer, c’est un peu près la même chose que j’ai pus retrouver à Paris: AMÉRICAINE !
ce qui se traduit donc par une quantité importante ou le diététique est largement mis de côté
(mais bon si t’es en train de me lire je né pense pas que ce soit après avoir taper «resto’ minceur a Dublin» ^^)
Dernier point important: l’amabilité commune à tout les HRC malgré un anglais bon mais néanmoins incomplet (bah oui l’explication d’un burger c’est rarement expliquer par ta prof au collège :p) nous avons eu affaire à une véritable patience et bienveillance de la part du perso’ (aussi bien de la serveuse que la «dame des réservations, en passent par la vendeuse de t-​shirt)
En somme: dans la continuité de toute les HRC le côté irlandais en plus !

Ich liebe Hard Rock! Manch einer verschmäht den Laden als zu touristenlastig, überteuert und einfach nur laut. Und ja, wenn man Pech hat landet man im Untergeschoss ohne Licht… dies ist in den meisten HR-​Cafes leider möglich. Trotzdem, für mich ein Muss in jeder Stadt, schliesslich finde ich die Margaritas einfach lecker: D

I was at the Hard Rock Café for a team night out. It is definitely the place to go for a yummy classic burger. Great atmosphere, life music in the background and nice staff. Prices for food are a bit high, but they make it up with their € 5,50 cocktails menu. :) We had a great time!

It was a Hard Rock Café. What you would expect. The only thing I could say about it was, they needed more help. The restaurant was have empty and we had to wait. This wasn’t at noon either. The service was slow and over worked. Food was hot and as ordered. Need more staff to service more efficiently and more people could eat, which would make them more money.

Typical Hard Rock café. nothing special with the food, but was nice to find in Dublin. Prices were a bit high!

Awesome music, delicious food and the most caring and friendly staff I’ve seen for a while. You should definitely try the Apple Gobble for dessert! :)

This place ROCKS! :P
Great food, great atmosphere and reasonably priced.
Get extra sauce on the heavy metal chicken wings!

I like the hard rock ! Cool place I love all the memorabilia on the walls, the music there is great. Staff are always super nice, the food however is alright, not knock your socks off good but I won’t complain about it either. Also it is a little be expensive for what it is. However !! € 5.50 cocktails !! And they are Delish. Not to be missed :)

€ 17 for a birra salad?!?
€ 20 for a burger ?!?
2 seriously crappy veggie options, one of which was over € 21, ah lads, come on now. The tiger is dead, this is not NY and the chef has no Michelin stars.
The only reason it gets more than 1 star is that the waiter was lovely and friendly, but there are 100 other places within a short walk where once can have a fantastic lunch with a cheeky pint for less than half the price, and be able to hear their companion! I love me a bit of Tina Turner, but not at nightclub volume at 2pm!

Vraiment sympa cet Hard Rock Café !
Un peu petit certes, et avec que des objets liés à U2 ou aux Foo Fighters, mais tellement sympa !
Meme carte que partout ailleurs: nachos, burgers monstrueux et patisseries délicieuses ! Le service par contre est excessivement lent, mais bon si vous etes francophone et dans ce HRC c’est que vous etes en vacances, alors bon … ça passé …

Food was good but geez is it expensive a burger runs over 18 euros! BUT i would definatly go back again… Lol

Being here a couple of times, fo the good prices on the drinks, 5.50 the cocktails and 4.50 but i expected more of a big franchise, the food is not that great, the service is ok, the deco is what u have in a hard rock so no harm done, what i find it annoying is the band downstairs passing the sound for 30 minutes, the sound guy couldnt get it right, and there is no acustic isolation so upstair was a bad mix of sounds, other thing i find a little confusing is the quantity of table u can’t sit downstairs without no sign on them, then when u sit down somebody came to ask u to move

So today I went for a quick pre dinner drink with my in laws. As soon as we entered we got a really friendly welcome from the host.
We each got a drink at the bar, this was where are first star was lost. The price and value of beverage. I have been here before and I know the deal with the cocktails, there cheap for a reason! € 5 for a cocktail is great value but the quality of the beverage is lacking. I chose the Alabama slammer which was really nice, and in my opinion the best of the menu, don’t go for the iced teas or mojito, they are a massive let down, nothing at all like the real thing. Alabama slammer is made with orange juice so that gives you more substance and won’t leave a sticky taste in your mouth like the rest.
My father in law got a beer and he was terribly annoyed because a pint is priced at € 4 and a bottle is € 5.25. He ended up having to get the bottle as they didn’t have what he wanted on tap but he was really put off by the price difference.
The worse part of this experience was the flies at the bar. I noticed when I first sat down, that there were flies swarming around my head. I took no heed at first but after a few mins of this I noticed the entire roof of the bar was covered in what appeared to be fruit flies. They looked as though they were coming from a air vent an when we were paying we mentioned them. The batman explained that they have an issue with flies whenever the Liffey is high. Which grossed me out even more. It was one thing to have flies but to have insects coming from a river in a city is just really discusting. Really grossed me out.
It made me concerned about the hygiene standards and made me really not want to return.
I have given them 2 stars because there customer service is fantastic. The barman even hooked me up with a seat at the bar. This is very rare in dublin and I was really delighted :)
Pity about the rest.

J’adore cette enseigne et celui de Dublin est sympa quoi qu”un petit bruyant mais ça le fait pour une bouffe entre pote. La carte est sympa, la viande excellente et le staff rapide, dispo et souriant. La déco est à tombé par terre surtout pour la grande fan de u2 que je suis… (Entre autre)… J’y retournerai avec plaisir.

When you go to Hard Rock Café you now what you get, whether it is in Dublin, Copenhagen or Singapore. I love that about the place. I now what to expect and that is something that makes me happy.
I love the rock music that is played at every Hard Rock Café and I like the atmosphere there.
The thing that annoyed me about it here in Dublin though, is where the shop I located in the café. It was annoying with that many people walking almost right past you all the time.
The food was as I expected, and I love it!

I went to Hard Rock this evening, as usual the food and the service were good I know the food is oily but It’s still good, When you go there just look for a waiter looks like sheldon cooper, I told him that, I couldn’t stare at him without saying anything

I have only been to the Hard Rock Café for the special party breakfasts they arrange for the kids. I have been here for the Easter and Halloween breakfast and am waiting with excitement for the Christmas breakfast! We were treated to a lovely breakfast but the entertainment, games and treats provided are second to none… would highly recommend a visit to one of these brilliant events. The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful.
I must return for an evening of entertainment, drinks and food!

To start with, The Hard Rock Café is not the sort of place I would normally frequent. It’s the kind of big multinational corporation that pretends top be edgy and rocky purely to boost their bottom line. But I am not letting that taint this review.
A couple of weeks ago I performed at a charity show in the Hard Rock Café in Temple Bar. The charity was the Pinktober Breast Cancer awareness charity. The HRC people to good care of us, they fed us, and kept us in beer. The Food was good, what you would expect and to a good quality. And the staff were really nice, all of them from the bar staff, the restaurant staff and the sound engineering staff. These guys made us feel special, even though my band are an amateur band full of old guys like me, among others.
The stars I give above are for the food, the staff, the charity and the venue, and I am not letting my own cynicism get in the way.

Besser als sein Ruf, jedoch sollte man sich nicht wundern finanziell ordentlich Federn zu lassen. Dublin hat an Burger-​Gerichten sicher zahlreiche Möglichkeiten mit besserem Preis-​Leistungsverhältnis.

Wir sind Leidenschaftliche Hard Rock Café Freunde, aber Dublin war jetzt nicht der Burner !
Die Atmosphäre hielt sich auch an diesem Abend etwas nin Grenzen. Unsere Zufriedenheit über das lieblos zubereitete Essen hielt sich jedoch in Grenzen. Denke mal es ist ja auch nicht das preiswerteste Lokal
So fällt es mir auch nicht leicht eine Empfehlung für das Hard Rock Café auszusprechen, da jeder Besuch eines Pubs in Dublin vermutlich mehr Wert hat. Vor allem aber die Atmosphäre und Livemusik der irischen Pubs sollte jeden Besucher vom Besuch des Hard Rock Café in Dublin abhalten!
Vielleicht wir es beim nächsten Besuch besser ?!

Im Areal des Tempel Bar Viertel befindet sich in der Fleet Street 12 das Hard Rock Café. Nach einem Treffpunkt mit einem befreundeten Ehepaar vor der Temple Bar suchten meine Frau und ich am Mittwoch, den 10. Oktober 2012 das Hard Rock Café zum Abendessen auf.
Beim Durchstudieren das Menuekarte fielen uns die preiswerten Angebote der Getränke (Cocktails 5,00 EUR, Pints 4,00 EUR) auf, jedoch auch das teilweise teure Angebot der Speisen (z.B. Spareribs 22,95 EUR). Wir entschieden uns jeweils für ein Zwei Gänge-​Menue, wo wir neben einer Hauptspeise (z.B. HRC Burger, Veggi Burger jeweils mit Pommes) zwischen einer Vorspeise (Onion Rings) oder einer Nachspeise (Vanilla Strawberry– oder Vanilla Chocolate-​Icecream) zum Preis von 15,00 EUR pro Person wählen konnten. Mit Guinness, Heineken und Carlsberg stillten wir unseren Durst und erfreuten uns über unser Wiedersehen in der Hauptstadt Irlands.
Die Atmosphäre hielt auch an diesem Abend das was man auf der ganzen Welt vom Besuch eines Hard Rock Café erwarten kann. Unsere Zufriedenheit über das lieblos zubereitete Essen hielt sich jedoch in Grenzen. So fällt es mir auch nicht leicht eine Empfehlung für das Hard Rock Café auszusprechen, da jeder Besuch eines Pubs in Dublin vermutlich mehr Wert hat. Vor allem aber die Atmosphäre und Livemusik der irischen Pubs sollte jeden Besucher vom Besuch des Hard Rock Café in Dublin abhalten!

One would think «You’ve seen one Hard Rock, you’ve seen them all» but I liked the Dublin Hard Rock more than some of the others.
I think my preference has to do with the staff. Irish people are so friendly by nature, that I felt we received extra good service from the bartender and our dinner server.
The wait for a table was about an hour, so my brother and I had drinks downstairs in the bar. I ended up ordering a «Baby Guiness» by mistake, and our bartender was more than happy to replace it with what I did want; a «Half Guiness» (a Baby Guiness is a shot, whereas I just wanted a mini version of the pints everyone else was drinking). As busy as it was, he laughed and joked with us. The Olympics were playing on the plasma screen behind him, so he took the time to explain the sport going on at the moment (it was a cross between women’s Lacrosse and hockey).
He then made us 2 yummy cocktails from the happy hour menu. Not that making us drinks wasn’t part of his job, but they were good and string; not the watered down version one usually gets from a happy hour cocktail.
When it was time for dinner, I ordered the mac-​n-​cheese. The server warned that it’d be small (but very delicious), so I was in for a surprise when I was too much for me to finish. I loved how rich and gooey it was, filled with a couple different cheeses.
All-​n-​all, we had a really good time and thoroughly enjoyed our food, the service and the drinks. Sometimes, there’s something to be said for chains. Although they may often be a little redundant, at least they are consistent.

My husband and I, along with my parents, came here on our first night in Dublin. The place was right next to our hotel and we were tired and very hungry; convience wins.
To be quick

quanity of food: 4:5
Overall, Ireland serves less food per plate then America does… no surprise there. However, the portions arent tiny either. The fahitas were good, the wings were ok. They also have this drink called Orange Crush. its good. What I didnt like was how loud it got. Being in Temple Bar and also being a Hard Rock café, I wasnt surprised. just tired and cranky. I really didnt like how this place forced to to wait downstairs at their bar even though they had tables ready for seating. I guess they were hopeing that the tourists would buy some drinks and apps while they waited.
It was good, not great. We decided to come back the next night as well after searchign the area for a different place and not finding what we were looking for. Where there is a Hard Rock Café. I will no doubt be eating there on vacation.
The second night we shared Nachos (must get), and we all had burgers and chocolate cake. Very good!

We ate at the Hard Rock Café in Dublin. And I think this is even my very first time I ate in any Hard Rock Café, now that I think of it.
Anyways, we went there late one night and it wasnt crowded so we got a seat right away. Our server was pretty aloof and just an average server. We ordered chicken nachos to share and it took a while to get our nachos and when we finally did. We didnt get chicken on it. So, I asked the server if I could get slices of grilled chicken on the side.
When the chicken came out, it was very tasty and the seasoning was very good. I was pretty impressed by it. The nachos was mediocre and the price for the chicken nachos was I believed overprice. I think we ended up paying at least 15 – 17 Euro for our nachos, ouch.

Gute Musik, Toller Shop, leckeres Essen, super günstige 5EUR Cocktails, geniale Deko und tolle Lage. Wie von einem guten Hard Rock Café gewohnt! :-)

Was soll man über Hard Rock Cafes schon gross schreiben. Hier sind es wirklich nur die Details, die den (kleinen) Unterschied ausmachen.
Das Hard Rock Café Dublin ist ein Franchise der Kette und gehört somit nicht «direkt» zum Konzern. Das merkt man aber nur als Besitzer der hauseigenen «Access-All-Area”-Mitgliedskarte. Hier kann man nämlich keine Bonuspunkte sammeln, sondern erhält nach Vorzeigen der Karte einen Rabatt auf Speisen, Getränke und Souvenirs.
Den Unterschied machen bei den Hard Rock Cafes eigentlich nur das Personal und das Design des Ladens. Das Personal in Dublin war durchweg sehr freundlich, engagiert, kompetent, gut gelaunt und kommunikativ.
Das Design des Gastraums ist nicht sehr spektakulär. Da gibt es wirklich einige schönere Beispiele. Der Laden liegt an Dublin’s Flaniermeile «Temple Bar» und ist in zwei Ebenen aufgeteilt. Oben im Erdgeschoss befindet sich neben dem Souvenirshop ein «reiner Speiseraum», während unten im Keller zusätzlich noch der Barbereich ist.
Das Essen wird in gewohnter Qualität serviert. Auch die Cocktails entsprechen dem Firmenniveau.
