resto stocked full of rock 'n' roll memorabilia is what draws many a crowd to the Hard Rock. It’s fair to assume that patrons flock to see one of Bob Dylan’s hand-made black wool Mariachi suits that he wore in a drugged out state of mind during the ‘70s, or an original black ink sketch drawn by John Lennon between 1964 and 1965 that come for the menu of burgers, salads, sandwiches and fries. Unfortunately it’s only the memorabilia that this resto has got and not the promised rock 'n’ roll crowd. Unless your visiting Albertan uncle, complete with the jean suit, can really get down and dirty, most patrons are tourists or suburbanites alike, looking for an easy night out with standard, bland cuisine where they can look at the pair of white and black KISS platform boots and reminisce about when they used to be cool. The décor is an attempt at a “modern edgy” theme where a suspended series of flat panel television screens in the centre of the resto aims to keep patrons entertained if the on-stage antics are not doing the job.
