Qype: Hard Rock Cafe Ltd in Cardiff

Cardiff - Pubs & Bars - Bars - Cafes & Coffee Shops - Cafes

A bit kooky, a bit quirky the first time you go, it doesn't take long though for the the Hard Rock to become a bit gimmicky. There's loads of memorabilia on the walls, packed in around the giant TV screens (which were playing some truly shocking glam rock videos when I popped in for a drinks one Sunday night - Aerosmith's video for Crazy is like soft porn!) - though a lot of the memorabilia belonged to people that i'd never heard of! There is a wonderful photograph of Elvis in a spangly suite and cape hanging by the back door well worth checking out.
There isn't a lot of choice at the bar (only Stella, Becks or Boddingtons on tap) but the price per pint is reasonable (as in 'under £3'). The burgers are fairly good (can't remember how much they cost) and they do a mean milk shake. There's a limited seating area out the back, inside the Brewery 1/4, so smokers are catered for.
I guess you know what you're going to get with the Hard Rock Cafe and they don't disappoint. Unfortunately, they don't inspire either.
PS - why are the waiters covered in badges (or 'buttons' as they are called in the US)? Can anyone shed any light?
