SYDNEY’S Hard Rock Café is back in action, with a noisy grand opening last night of a new venue in Darling Harbour. The original Hard Rock Café in East Sydney closed four years ago when its lease expired, but the latest one is going to be bigger and better, say the owners. The opening saw the traditional smashing of about a dozen guitars before guests were treated to a night of rock ‘n roll by live bands. Lennie Huntly, Managing Director said “this is going to be a new and welcome addition to Sydney’s tourist scene because Hard Rock Café enthusiasts the world over love to visit our venues to pick up Hard Rock Café T-shirts and boast to their friends back home. “It’s a museum as well as an American diner in a superb location – and everyone loves a burger,” said Huntly. The café is packed full of rock ‘n roll memorabilia such as a sequined dress worn by Beyoncé and a Britney Spears outfit. There are pants owned by an original Rolling Stone, Brian Jones, a Bob Dylan shirt, Jimi Hendrix memorabilia and a Beach Boys guitar as well as Elvis, Eric Clapton and Pete Townsend items. The first Hard Rock Café opened in London 40 years ago and has become one of the world’s most recognised brands.
