Hardrock Cafe Bangolore – A legendary brand opens its second outlet in Bengaluru
Yes you heard me right after a successful stint at St.Marks road – HRC has opened its doors in Whitefield Hard Rock Cafe doesn't need any introduction, by what I've heard, seen and experienced and it's true.
My Favourites being the Hardrockcafe Barcelona and Hardrock Cafe London .
This one in Bengaluru has its own charm
A bit of History:- Way back in 1971 HardRock café has opened up in London United Kingdom. Since then they have gained popularity, With venues in 75 countries, including more than 180 cafes
HardRock café is a globally recognized brand.
HardRock Cafe is known for its collection of rock-and-roll memorabilia. The cafes purchases a number of items at auctions around the world, including autographed guitars, costumes from world tours and rare photographs. These are often to be found mounted on cafe walls. Here in Bengaluru we have guitar strip used by JIM Hendrix mounted on the wall. I have been hearing a lot about newly opened Hard Rock Café Whitefield, and on a Sunday afternoon, I visited the place with my friends
Ambiance – Chic classic one Décor is tastefully done and one can sense that from the awe-inspiring interiors, bright lighting and an open bar makes the whole space feel more luxe. Soft lighting and great music sets the mood. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. There’s lots of memorabilia. I took a tour of all the stuff that has been collected over the years. Each item has been carefully documented and labeled, and every single piece is of significance as it had belonged to legends from the world of rock. They have a stage for live bands too. We choose a table outdoors which has a modern look with cozy seating options. An early Lunch saw us enjoying a good conversation over Lunch and drinks.
Drinks – Sublime Espresso martini being my personal favorite and is a classic one. With vodka as it base, Kahlua which is paired with freshly brewed espresso topped with coffee beans A rightly balanced one and is a must try in here. Rhythm and Rose mule A perfect blend of Vodka, passion fruit and a pinch of green tea with a hint of ginger served in a signature Mule mug. Loved it Hurricane Well presented drink with Rum as its base, fine blend of mango, orange, pineapple juice and grenadine and finally topped with dark rum. Right one Bahama mama – With Bacardi rum as its base and good dose of coconut syrup along with addition of pineapple and orange makes this one a refreshing choice. Passion Fruit mai tai – This one has Bacardi rum as its base along with a fine blend of tikki flavors and passion fruit, topped with orchid gives it a rich look. Tad perfect
Food - My meal had to begin with the Hard Rock nachos. I loved their crispiness and the cheesy flavors. Dyna bites – Crunchy dollops of cheese and jalapenos. Loved this one. Jumbo combo non-veg – which has onion rings, chicken tenders, wings, south west spring rolls paired with in-house barbeque sauce a perfect filler. Mushroom and swiss burger – as we all know HRC is known for its classic burgers, and this one has quinoa patty smothered with mushrooms and cheese that’s topped with lettuce, tomatoes and onions. In a word its fingerlicking good.
For desserts, we ordered for the Newyork cheesecake. It had a walnut biscuit crust and was amazingly balanced in taste. I also had a few sinful spoonfuls of the irresistible Apple cobbler.
That’s HRC Whitefield for you.
The food & brinks match the entertainment quotient and are in par with global standards. They ensure to bring in joy and smile to everyone who...
Read moreA beautiful Bengaluru afternoon called for a delightful lunch date with a bunch of Bangalore foodies in the airy open space dining at The Hard Rock Café, Whitefield. The café is located within the Park Square mall and has a private car entry and a dedicated parking space that is complimentary.
With all safety precautions adhered, sanitized tables, staff with gloves, and a QR code menu, we all felt safe in the new normal.
It was a fun afternoon spent with like minded foodie friends that we hardly noticed the food arriving on time, glasses getting filled and non-intrusive food recommendations and cocktail pairings.
The indoor space is extremely beautiful too, with signature Hard Rock memorabilia adorning the space with mild rock playing in the background and a tiny store to carry back something to remember the good times.
Kicked off the afternoon with a @hrcwhitefield signature and a New Orleans Mardi Gras classic, The Hurricane. Though the Sazerac is the official cocktail of the city, The Hurricane is the most celebrated drink in this festival and comes to you at Hard Rock Café from the taste of the Big Easy without a need for travel this pandemic season.
The Hard Rock Café signature is a beautiful concoction of Bacardi Superior Rum, with a blend of orange, mango and pineapple, and not to miss out, a generous dash of grenadine. All this is topped off with a float of Captain Morgan Dark Rum and Amaretto syrup.
The food was absolutely stunning with the signature classics like the chicken wings, onion rings to the scrumptious burgers that Hard Rock Cafe is always known for, throughout the world.
My Mushroom and Swiss Burger was absolutely fantastic and it was an absolute delight to dig into something as classic as the burger in HRC, something that I have always indulged in India and beyond.
The New York style cheese is something that must not be missed, it was dense, rich, with butterscotch nibbles, it was a perfect end to the grand meal at Hard Rock Cafe, Whitefield.
The happy hours in Hard Rock Cafe, Whitefield runs everyday with food and drinks starting as low as INR 99, and do have space to host private parties for 10—15 pax, and remember Kids eat free on Sundays, so what are you waiting for, head to Hard Rock Cafe,...
