This gem of a London export needs no real introduction. The international franchise brings its brand of hard-pumping rock music, hearty food, strong booze, and top-notch entertainment everywhere it goes. This Singapore outpost, established in 1990, has the added advantage of being somewhat of an institution amongst late-night revelers at the lively Cuscaden area, a mix of interesting characters, a diverse mix of folks from die-hard rockers to curious tourists, all seeking the restaurant-bar's hearty food, hard-rocking local bands, and the raunchy humour of its resident standup comics.

The memorabilia is what keeps the Hard Rock family united across the world, but put that aside for a second and consider the grub. Think American dive bar with a little upmarket touch: chicken tenders in a smoky glaze of hickory barbecue sauce and honey mustard, buffalo-style wings in a piquant dry rub served with the customary blue cheese and celery, and the franchise's famous fajitas filled with your choice of grilled meat, tangy pico de gallo, and melty cheese. For something heftier, there's also grilled steaks and a selection of meats from the smokehouse, think massive pork ribs and beef brisket in a tangy, hickory-spiked barbecue sauce. Good food, good times, and good music have always been part of the Hard Rock promise, and at this grand old dame of the late-night Orchard scene, the party never stops. (Dec 2016)

THE BUZZ

"Decked out in music memorabilia, this spot is home to the popular bands Enigma and Acoustic Trip. Try the American cuisine, before you dance to Top 40 hits and have a rocking good time. A claim to fame - the legendary Blondie has performed here." -SG Now
