Hard Rock Cafe Newcastle

Was okay, but didn't really have that Hard Rock feel about the place. Felt very similar to a bog standard diner. The staff we're polite enough and helpful. The food was standard, but no different to any other Hard Rock we've visited around the world. Just seems the menu's have become very basic. The atmosphere was fairly flat, again it just felt like we were in average diner. Non the less, that's another one ticked off. Bluelight discount was also accepted on everything, which was a bonus. 15% discount.

When we saw a HRC opened in Newcastle we knew we'd have to visit given that we've visited loads all around the world. Food was the same standard everywhere which was nothing short of fantastic. Service was ok at best unfortunately which really let down this location. You know that annoying bit that usually happens when you have a mouthful of food and the server comes to ask how everything is? Didn't happen. Problem is my wife was desperately trying to flag down someone to get some sauce and another drink to accompany her meal. After about half hour she had given up as the meal was over. The Rock Shop I also felt was really small and an after thought. So much so, the product I collect at every HRC and am not missing one yet...they didn't seem to have or do - so trying to work out if I'm actually missing one or it doesn't even exist (both of which not great outcomes!) so now kind of feel incomplete. It's a good HRC if you've never been to one before. But if you have you'll leave comparing it to others.

A new Hard Rock cafe - as you can see from my reviews we visit these round the world. Very well located down by the Quayside in Newcastle. The restaurant had a lovely light airy feel to it. The staff welcoming were lovely. We only wanted drinks on this occasion and were found some bar stools to sit at the bar. The bar staff were very attentive and helpful. We had a couple of cocktails, relaxed with the music videos playing and took the obligatory photos of the memorabilia around the restaurant. Another great Hard Rock and glass for the collection!
