I'll be honest ... I'm not a big fan of chains or Hard Rock Cafes. The only time I usually enter one is when I'm with friends who are fans ... such as was the case for my visit to the Dublin one. The setup for these cafes are pretty similar wherever you go I find, and the memorabilia on the walls and in the cases are the usual lot of "this belonged to so n' so" and "this was used is such n' such". Not much different than the movie fan chain of Club Hollywood, just for the Music industry. The food was mediocre pub food, and the drinks pricey. Some interesting and unique art/stuff for Ireland. Anyhow, if you're a fan of Hard Rock Cafes ... this one will please you as its the only one in all of Ireland, as the one in Northern Ireland was closed down. The Dublin one was established in June 29, 2004. They pride themselves for their unique collectibles just like all the other Hard Rock's ... in this case a pair of Bono's sunglasses, a favorite shirt of Elvis, Paul McCartney's "Beatle Boots", one of Madonna's jackets, a Paul Stanley guitar, and a Mimi Hendrix rug. Rating: 1 star out of 5.
