Experience the Rhythm of San Francisco at Hard Rock Cafe
At the entrance to San Francisco’s iconic PIER 39, clanging cable car bells meet chirping seagulls, barking sea lions and lapping waves. And while the city’s natural acoustics are mesmerizing, sometimes a little more edge is in order. Welcome to Hard Rock Cafe San Francisco, where music history and bayfront views make for a sublime dining experience.
A Meal with a Side of Memorabilia
From the moment you step through Hard Rock’s neon-hazed door, you're greeted by pounding bass bends and electrifying guitar solos — plus instruments that headlined stadiums, tour costumes that dazzled under stage lights and portraits of music icons whose voices changed the world.
There’s no better place to marvel at music memorabilia than San Francisco, home of the historic Summer of Love — the counterculture movement that took root in the Haight-Ashbury district in 1967. See artifacts from the scene’s major players, like a guitar signed by the Grateful Dead, a leather jacket worn by Jimi Hendrix and a bedazzled cape that graced the shoulders of Janis Joplin. Don’t miss a signed guitar by Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, a San Francisco native, along with dozens of other captivating photos, instruments and ensembles.
Scratch-Made Food & Cocktails, Turned Up to 11
Celebrating a birthday? Kicking off a family adventure? No matter the occasion, soundtrack your night with fresh flavors curated in Hard Rock’s craft kitchen. Grab a sudsy tap beer or a signature cocktail, like a mango-forward Hurricane or minty Mojito, or dive into sizzling fajitas and sticky, slow-roasted wings.
The real headliner, though? A mouthwatering Legendary® smash burger, its crisp exterior grilled to perfection and stacked mile-high with toppings like crunchy shoestring onions, tomatoes and spicy mayo. Grab a side of beer-battered onion rings that shatter at the first bite.
