Hard Rock Cafe   

With over 100 locales in 38 counties, it's easy to see why some people might be as excited about going to a Hard Rock Cafe as they would about going to McDonalds. But what differentiates Hard Rock Memphis from its counterparts is its smaller details and overall feel. True enough, the dark hardwood stairs and deep burgundy carpet may be similar to those of other Hard Rocks, but the way in which patrons offer smiled apologies as they pass each other is uniquely Memphis. Memphis' love affair with barbecue is reflected in more than one of Hard Rock's menu offerings. The rock 'n' roll memorabilia decorating the walls from floor to ceiling is guaranteed to be exclusively Memphis. And, of course, the cafe's location on Beale Street, surrounded by other famous Beale haunts, adds a dose of unique Memphis flavor.
