Three years ago, we stayed in New York for around 5 months. During our time here, we came across various different restaurants and cafe's and sampled many culinary delights, ranging from crab to the usual cheeseburgers and chips. One restaurant we were planning on dining out in was the HardRockCafe, however the night we had planned to go, on arriving we were sent away due to the fact we would have to weight 1 hour fifteen minutes to get a table. It was around 7pm at this time and with young children in to we decided to give up and we went off to the neareset pizza joint.
Ever since the experience in New York, I have been determined to sample the food at the HardRockCafe. I was totally oblivious to the fact there was one situated in Edinburgh, a fourty five minute drive or a 30 minute train ride from my house.

a vegetarian they have a limited choice but it is possible to eat!
Staff: The service can vary depending on how busy they are.
Ambience: It gets very busy at all sorts of times. The throng of Americans & tourists shows its a MUST for them, hence the BIG queues sometimes. (See below to JUMP the QUEUE).
Shop: Right opposite the cafe is their shop selling various items of clothing, shot glasses & Pin Badges. Have a close look at them. There is a big market for buying and selling the badges. Many badges are limited edition at each cafe. Your £8 badge today could be double in a years time!
They also have the Vault! No its not full of money, but is full of pop memento's. This is viewable by a guided tour, and its FREE. Yes, its worth while going into after eating.

Advantages: Great location and a fun night out Disadvantages: Long queues at weekends
When I was younger and on holiday a really big treat for me was if you happened to stumble across a HardRockcafe whilst away. For me HardRockcafes were always slightly magical and mysterious places that I intrinsically linked with being on holiday. For me, it always had to be a burger, chocolate milkshake and an ever collectible HardRockcafe jumper, tee shirt, cap or whatever else caught my eye and spending money would allow!
Where is it?
Living near to Manchester I was excited when I heard that a new HardRockCafe was to open. It is situated in the city centre as part of the new Printworks development. The Printworks features a range of leisure activities including bars, restaurants, shops and cinemas and is great for an evening out.
The HardRockCafe has a prime location on one side of the Printworks and is ...
