Hard Rock Cafe Glasgow is located in the heart of Glasgow’s historic Style Mile in the restored, renaissance-inspired Athenaeum Theatre. Established in 1893, this striking theatre has musical history of its own: originally a music school, it later became the home to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama. With historic musical memorabilia gracing every wall, Hard Rock Cafe Glasgow fits right into the historic charm of the area and honors the history of the Athenaeum Theatre.

    Service on drink orders were very poor with the last orders being incomplete meaning it was at least 35-40 mins from originally ordering to when my daughters mocktail was served to the table. Food was great and staff were great though!

    Ordered pint of Guinness(on St Patrick’s day) which took 45mins to arrive at my table by that time the starter had been finished and the pint of Guinness had came from a can and was hot, was charged almost £8 for it. The meal had been ruined by that point so it’s hard to comment of the food

    Food was ok. I had the same meal in London last month and the London one was much better. I didn’t eat the pulled pork and it was too soft and the sauce watery.

    I thought it was a bit of a squeeze to fit 4 people on the tables. Our table also wobbled and the waitress said she would return to fix but it never happened so I sorted it myself. I also asked a waitress if there was a fire escape open that the staff use close to where I was sitting as there was a smell of cigarette smoke coming in from the kitchen area. She said yes and would pass this onto them to stop.

    Went here pre theatre with disabled son and other kids (adult) - I am a veggie but there was very very little for me, no veggie burgers or similar. This is 2023!! What’s going on? Wouldn’t choose to go again - service was great though!

    Booked to come here for my boyfriends birthday. He’d never been so the whole experience was new for him. He loved the music and the decor. The food was brilliant. And I can’t fault the staff at all. I have an unusual allergy to fresh tomatoes and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my food was never in contact with tomatoes, even to the extent of having my drink my and brought over by the person who made it to avoid cross contamination down all routes! Absolutely brilliant service especially from Sammie! She was lovely 😁 will definitely return

    Our table was booked for 3pm, we ordered within 20 mins of seating. At 4.20pm the waiter came to tell us our order had disappeared from the screen and not made it to the kitchen and that he would reorder it now, he had to ask us again what we wanted. At this point we had been sitting with empty glasses for quite a while. I appreciate it was busy but no one was asking if we wanted more drinks. We ordered more drinks at this point and waited about another 20 mins for drinks and longer for our food to come. By now we had to rush eating as we had to get back home to our dog to let him out. When The waiter brought the bill he showed my daughter how to leave a tip by saying ‘unless you’re a horrible person and don’t want to leave one’ which I know was a joke, but she felt pressured to leave one, and under the circumstances of the mix up with our food, I didn’t think a tip was warranted. Not even a free drink offered while we waited an hour and 40 mins for food. I have been here several times and the service is always excellent. I know this is a one off and that accidents do happen, but it was not an enjoyable experience on this occasion.

    Fire time there. Manager told asked us about allergies (to which I have one), and that definitely one dish contains my allergen but the server would go into more detail. Server came and didn’t ask about allergies until after I had ordered, and told me nothing in the kitchen would be an issue (not what the manager said). Specifically ordered no onions, burger arrived loaded with onions. No waiting staff on the floor for about 15mins and had to leave my table to go to the bar to order my own drink. Eventually when the server came to take the plates away I told her about the onion, which she was shocked as she had written it on the order. She took my burger off the bill which was great. Overall, visually place is excellent, food seemed good from what I ate, but service let it down hugely.
