I love this place and I'm old so probably shouldn't. The sound system is so good that it never interferes with regular conversation yet you can enjoy all the music. I never eat there so I don't know about the food but I always drink and this time took a friend from England who wanted to try a Manhattan. Jules -- the barman with the throat tatts -- was really sweet about selecting the right bourbon for her and chatted away with us like we were regulars in "Cheers". It's three for three for my trips here.

A busy restaurant but all the Hard Rock Cafes are. The service was good but the food was bland. Probably wouldn’t go back.

A fun novelty for a visitor from out of town. Near most things downtown, including Ford's Theatre and the FBI. If you have a guest who wants to go there, try early afternoon and just get a milkshake. Least amount of boring food exposure.

Very nice place. Food is good. Decor is outstanding. Love the waterfall that is over the bar. Somethings on the menu is kind of pricey but overall right on the money. Must see.
