The HR t-shirts go for about $1-$3 in your local thrift store. Enjoy.

Double :( :( as I checked the HRC website and it seems they've pushed back the open date for Bucharest to "Fall 2007" from what had been a June open date. Was going to be one stop I had planned for my NW OTP run in Aug., but not now. :(

I've only been to three hard rock cafes so far, and one of those is in my home country of the UK. The others were LA and Copenhagen.

The one thing I love about the Hard Rock Cafe is that the staff always seem to enjoy their jobs, and they give better, more friendly service than most 'posh' restaurants I've been to.

I don't collect the T-Shirts, yet, as they seem so expensive, but I think I might start...

I didn't realise there was a HRC in Tokyo! I can't wait to go there now :)

That me reminds me of a visit to the Hard Rock in Oslo with my sister and a friend of hers: As you might know, there's free refill of soda, and sometimes they ask you if you want more, sometimes you gotta ask them, which is no big deal..However this one time, as I was about to finish my Pepsi (I always seem to drink up first..), the waitress suddenly appeared with three new glasses of soda without even asking us first.. That's what I would call great service. And before the meal was over, we got even another refill without asking.. I don't need to say that she got a few extra NOK as tips that day..



However, I did also experience once - again with my sister and a friend - that my sisters friend didn't get her hamburger. She asked the waiter, who apologized, and promised her a free ice-cream. When we got the bill, the ice cream was on it.. However, we didn't bother and paid for it anyway..

It's closed now. Just a month ago or more.

Added the Hard Rock in Amsterdam a month ago. Service a little slow, but great location. Very close to museum's and right next door to the casino.

We walked by the San Antonio HRC last weekend. The timing didn't work out for some nachos or twisted mac. :(

BTW - Washington DC shirts are great!

redbeard911 Aug 17, 2007 10:43 pm

Added Las Vegas. I finally got the cool double dragon back design. The LV City shirt has a showgirl and dice on the back. Kinda cheesy...

Haven't been to one in forever except in Tijuana because I knew they would probably have a decent bathroom (they did).

-Updated again on June 12,2010 with more locations....
I updated with a few additional locations since my original post...

I just visited the fairly new HRC in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico over the weekend. The San Juan site is very nice and I would recommend it.

I'll try to list my other visits that come to mind:

- Manila (Makati City), Philippines
- Tokyo Roppongi
- Hong Kong
- Rome
- London
- Madrid
- Whistler (Now Closed)
- Aruba (Now Closed)
- Hollywood
- Santa Monica
- Grand Cayman Island - Now Closed (Open Again, as of Summer 2010!)
- Cancun
- Cozumel
- Dallas (Both Old and New locations)
- Houston
- New York (One of my first HRC visits, I blew $500 on a HRC New York Leather jacket when i was 21! :D
- Wash DC
- Baltimore
- Philadelphia
- St Louis
- Orlando Universal City Walk
- Miami
- Chicago
- Denver
- San Juan
- Las Vegas
- Toronto Sky Dome
- Toronto Yonge Street
- New Orleans
- Atlantic City
- San Francisco
- San Diego
- New Delhi, India, Saket City Mall
- Yankee Stadium, New York

I'll update as I remember more locations. I have my old shotglass collection in a closet somewhere that my wife won't let me "display". It looked great in my bachelor pad 10 years ago.

I now collect the costumed Huntington bears for my 4 year old. The Rome bear is in a gladiator costume. The London bear is in a Buckingham palace guard costume. Denver is in a snow-boarder costume. San Juan is a pirate. Etc.... Not all locations seem to have the costumed bears but I buy them when I see them. My son's favorite is the Panda bear from Hong Kong HRC.
