    With my workmates, we went HardRock for early christmas dinner. I really like the nachos; steak was cook as i wish and blue cheese sauce which served with wings were awesome. Nice environment for groups bartenders were so kind, our waiter Mario was nice too. I advice to try nachos as starter for sure. Burger was huge and mac and cheese was magnificent.

    Absolutely fantastic experience. Music was top notch, service was A* and engaging. Could have spent the day just looking at random memorabilia along the walls. Food prices slightly steep, but the quality and portion sizes were awesome. Recommend the Guinness burger!🤘

    Food was delicious and have no complaints about the service. But as Hard Cafés go this one was a little disappointing on memorabilia. Very little compared to others I've been to. Also shop was small with a very limited selection of merch.

    I had the opportunity to dine at the Hard Rock Cafe in Dublin last week during a business trip, and I was very satisfied with the overall experience. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant's location is modern and inviting, with a combination of rock elements and a lively atmosphere. The decor and music-related details make the ambiance very pleasant. As for the food, I have to say it was simply outstanding, as I expected from an Hard Rock Cafe. The dishes were prepared with care and presented in an inviting way. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and I particularly appreciated the authentic flavors and variety of choices on the menu. In conclusion, my experience at the Hard Rock Cafe in Dublin was extremely positive. The impeccable service, the modern location, and the high-quality food left me with a very favorable impression. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable dining experience.

    Hard Rock Cafe is one of my favorite places to visit when I go to different places. I like to see what musicians are from the different cities and to collect memorabilia from each one like the pins. They are a bit pricey on the food but for how often I get to travel to a different one, I make the exception to eat there and enjoy a bit of me time.

    Ate here and I was pretty impressed. I had low expectations to be honest, but was pleasantly surprised. The ribs and BBQ sauce were fantastic, extremely tender and very flavourful. Their onions rings were very light and tasty, and chips fluffy and light also. Their sundae was absolutely insanely massive with more than enough for two people. The restaurant was what you’d expect, very music oriented and quite dark inside. There was plenty of seating and the atmosphere was quite loud overall. The staff was very courteous and polite, and the orders were all correct. I felt the prices were a bit high, though the quality of the food was worth it.

    After long day tripping around Ireland we returned to Dublin for a meal..starving! We chose the Hard Rock Cafe... excellent choice. Place was busy, great atmosphere and we were seated at the table within minutes. Food came and it was worth every cent! Guaranteed I'll be back again!

    really great HR restaurant! tables were clean and the music was good. our server was amazing, he brought our food out quickly and was super friendly. portion sizes were great and drinks were amazing! the hard rock shop is just next to the restaurant and has a good selection of HR merchandise including a lot of Irish pins. the only reason the service is not 5 star is because of the girl at the front desk. she was incredibly rude and awkward. when we walked in she didn't say much until I told her that we were looking to sit in the restaurant to which she blankly stared at me and told me to go downstairs. once we got downstairs and sat down a server came over to us and told us that the downstairs section was actually closed and that if we wanted food we would have to go back upstairs. upon going back upstairs the same girl was stood there to which I then rephrased and told her that I still wanted to sit in the restaurant as we had come for food. there was no apology nor any explanation from her as to why she sent us downstairs knowing that it was closed. very strange experience and not sure why she was appointed to greet people into the premises.

    Cravings Satisfied! It's worth a visit when you're in Dublin. Everything we ordered taste so good. All the food serving is so big. I was surprised about the dessert, i thought it's gonna be in a small plate but I was wrong. It was served in a big glass. Love the music, the ambiance and the staff are so friendly and attentive to all the customers.

    Popped in with some friends, just for a beer early on a Sunday afternoon, so it wasn't busy at all. The Tiger beer seemed a bit flat with no bubbles unfortunately. Service was good, and I liked the memorabilia dotted around the place.

    Booked to take partner o his 30th birthday... he has said it has blown the miller and Carter steakhouse out the water. We both really enjoyed it katie and Pablo were brilliant servers

  • 5/5 Ana Virtudes M. 8 months ago on Google
    The way you are welcomed to the restaurant is so nice. Each waiter is assigned a table, and our waiter, Mario, was so amazingly attentive and thoughtful. Food was expensive, but it was worth paying for it as it was delicious.

    Wonderful food, great vegetarian and vegan options, and incredibly excellent service. The best fries and hot sauce I've ever had in my life. *Veggie burger photo.

  • 3/5 Charles B. 2 years ago on Google
    I had difficulty getting in, they said there were no tables available. But I looked on the top level and saw empty seats and was told that the bottom level was full as well. I eventually had to pull the “I have been to 31 Hard Rocks around the world and have several ‘skip the line’ certificates’ before they would let me in. Mind you, there was no line at the door, and then when I went downstairs, there were tons of empty tables! I asked my server if they had any tables not available because of covid, and he said that all the tables were available for seating. So I was a lot disturbed by that. I proceed to order anyway, and enjoyed my meal and the off menu margaritas, shaken, not stired.

    Great atmosphere, and very pleasant service, the classic burger that I ordered the first time did not impress me very much. Nevertheless, it was a very interesting and fun evening spent at the Hard Rock Cafe. I will definitely go there more times.

  • 5/5 Ammar J. 3 years ago on Google
    Tasty food you can share!!!! This is a place you can have great food and enjoy it. There is no annoying noise or too loud music preventing you from having a nice meal. The portions are more than big enough for one person, even if you prefer a plus size meal. The Chicken Ceasar salad was really really great. I am a big fan of chicken and honestly this the best prepared chicken I've had in my life. The Nachos tasted like they looked.. FANTASTIC. The service was impeccable and personnel were very polite and professional. I cannot recommend it enough. If you want great food that you can enjoy visit the Hard Rock Cafe in Dublin

    Understand precautions but felt interrogated when we arrived for our covid vaccination proof (there is a nice way of asking). Live band was great and food was good.

  • 4/5 Karen O. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place, good music, great service from staff, but prices are slightly high for the food taste/quality they offer.

  • 2/5 Amber M. 2 years ago on Google
    I make it a point to try to go to a Hard Rock whenever I can around the world. I’ve been to 7. Although the atmosphere was fine, I was highly disappointed in the food. You expect the quality to be the same at most Hard Rocks, but it is not. I think this was the worst I’ve had at any of them. My chicken was quite small and barely covered half of the bread. It was bland and dry as well. The only plus is I got another glass for my collection.

  • 5/5 Piotr G. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing staff, nice interior and delicious food - especially I would recommend local legendary burger with whiskey bacon jam and Guinness cheese sauce! However… I think that the prices here are too high relatively to the menu... I’ve been in eighteen Hard Rocks before and this one was the most expensive so far!

  • 4/5 Sandy C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere. Foods and drinks quality Hard Rock standard. Good place to go.

  • 3/5 Dazneyland 1 year ago on Google
    Used to be a holiday tradition and the more we visit them...the more we realise there is absolutely nothing special about Hard Rock Cafe. Considering the amount of money a burger, moreso if you get a 'signature' cocktail...the more you realise it is overpriced. My tradition is getting the 'local' burger. So for this particular one, it is basically a burger with Guinness sauce. Sounds perfect. The problem is with any local burger. It is just a dry patty with no taste. Really wish they would have a little oomph. No matter what local speciality burger you get. It tastes the exact same with maybe an added topping for £5-10 more (e.g. bacon) Seriously. Just go to an independent burger joint. Will now just stick to visiting the Shops.

    Had a fantastic meal with great service...very friendly. Would rate this place highly.

  • 3/5 Kris A. 1 year ago on Google
    We went here on a Mon night. It was quiet, yet, our order was mixed up and the dessert forgotten about. Both also wasn't up to the standard it used to be :( My friend's Mac n Cheese was cold and the ice cream was melting. Hard Rock Cafe has always been on the pricey side but nowadays it feels you no longer get good value for money - unfortunately.

  • 5/5 Agent A. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was incredible. The food was perfect and I’m not even a burger lover, but the sauce it comes with is absolutely mouth watering. Tasted great with the fries [chips]. Great mixed drink and delicious Guinness.

  • 5/5 Barry H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and food was so good. The spicy buffalo wings were eye watering and lip burning. The ribs had me licking my fingers and the desserts are unbelievable. All topped off with excellent service, would highly recommend 👌
