Hard Rock Café

Hard Rock Cafe in Hyderabad has three distinct areas, the restaurant, a bar area with easy chairs and bar stools, and finally its signature retail shop. The cafe is dotted with memorabilia like the corduroy white linen shirt worn by Elvis Presley, a black satin top hat of Beatles star George Harrison and a black fedora hat worn by Michael Jackson. Most of the music played in line with its name is rock (Indi-rock, rock and roll etc), but there is also a fair bit of rap and hip hop. On Thursdays there have been live performances by Saving Abel, Swartatma, Indian Ocean, Bob Sinclar etc. HRC's signature cocktail would have to be Hurricane (Rs.500 plus taxes ), other faves are Long Island Iced Tea (Rs.370 plus taxes), Mojito (Rs.325 plus taxes), Cran-A-Kazi (Rs.310 plus taxes), Sex on the Beach (Rs.335 plus taxes). Some popular mocktails are Berrilicious (Rs.210 plus taxes) and Mango Tango (Rs.330 plus taxes). Try the tequila shots, the bartender does a few mean ones. For whisky-guzzling Hyderabad, HRC has a good repertoire of whisky brands (Dewar's White label, Johnny Walker (Black & Red) label, Glenfidtch etc. For starters, the Jumbo Combo Vegetarian and non-vegetarian are good options.
