Have You Been To: Hard Rock Cafe Sydney

Answered by: Rachael Gray

Address: Level 2 Harbourside Centre, 2–10 Darling Dr, Darling Harbour

What’s the capacity? Up to 1100.

Why should punters visit you? For an iconic vibe, American classic eats and drinks with a twist, unique music experiences and wall-to-wall memorabilia.

What’s the best thing about the venue? Be it a night out with mates, a birthday party or company Christmas party in a private space, the atmosphere will be electrifying. And you never know who’ll stop by...

What’s the history of the venue? Hard Rock has been around for over 40 years; the first Cafe opened in London in 1971. Since then Hard Rock has accumulated the largest rock’n’roll memorabilia collection in the world. Our Darling Harbour location opened in July 2011.

What is your venue doing to help the local music scene? Look out in 2015, ‘cause we’ll be bringing back live music from the local talent in a big way.

What are some of the highlights? Our Hard Rock Rising global band competition (back in 2016). Famous faces including Gene Simmons, Limp Bizkit and many more.
