Ozzy Osbourne's Guitar- Friday night, always a good time for some Sabbath!
Darius Rucker's Guitar (Hootie and the Blowfish)
I can't play the guitar but I can eat hot fudge brownie ice cream sundaes!
After checking out the memorabilia on the walls, I ordered dinner. I opted for the pork bbq with no slaw. The young waitress assured me this would be no problem, guess what, it was! Back to the kitchen the plate goes! I paid the 36 yuan upgrade for onion rings from fries, big mistake. There were 4 very small Sonic style onion rings. I love Sonic onion rings, but these were cold! The bbq was pretty good, just a step above high school cafeteria bbq. However, no one goes to Hard Rock for the food, Hard Rock is about the atmosphere. The Bejing location is a huge cavernous restaurant that is home to some cool guitars and outfits and has an excellent sound system playing rock hits from all the decades. A decent live cover band took to the stage later in the meal as well. I rounded out the meal with the above pictured dessert and it didn't dissappoint!
On the way out I picked up the obligatory Hard Rock tshirt as well as a great bargain. They were having a clearance on Hard Rock Shanghai merchandise and I picked up a gray polo shirt with Hard Rock Shanghai logo for just 30 Yuan (less than 5 bucks!)
I didn't realize how convenient the Hard Rock was, a 20 minute subway ride and short walk got me there (during which I was propositioned by 2 Chinese women offering massages: Sir, massage, Sir, massage from pretty lady and I'm like Do you have any snapple? Because I think they should also sell snapple, because that way they hook you in with the snapple and then they'd be like you know what would go great with that snapple- a massage. They'd be like amazon.com, If you enjoy snapple, you might also enjoy....) They had to have been legit as prostitution doesn't exist here. (Although I was surprised to hear one say in Sanlitun the other evening: Hello sir, sex lady! You learn after awhile to just ignore them and keep walking, kind of like timeshare hawkers in Las Vegas. Although I don't know of any timeshare sales presentations that offer...nevermind. At least neither of the ones I have been to did, and they wonder why I don't buy their timeshare!

Sad to think that Hard Rock is the same world wide. And everyone says the same about it. You think someone in the company would do something about the food. Then again food I'm sure is not at the top of the priorities list. Maybe it's:
Tourist trap, T-shirts, Cool stuff on the wall, Sound system, and Food only good enough to satisfy the health inspectors.
