Hard Rock Cafe Melaka - Awesome Live Band at Night!
Hola TC.com readers!! Since I was having a long holiday in Melaka, it is part of my 'responsibility' as a Melakan to introduce you new places to hang out. During my CNY in Melaka, I always wonder where should I go and hang out to catch up with primary school and secondary school friends, besides the usual hang out spot Amigo, Mamak Taman Kota Laksamana (Mamak TKL), Library, Old Town Kopitiam, etc... we now have many more new places to be at. This time, introducing you the Hard Rock Cafe at Melaka Riverside.
Hard Rock Cafe @ Melaka |
Hard Rock Cafe in Melaka located just beside the Melaka River and the entrance of Jonker Walk 鸡场街文化坊. It is a great location for tourist visit especially when the cafe is located in the area of UNESCO World heritage site.
Hard Rock Cafe @ Melaka is nicely located between two tourist spots, the Stadhuys Square and Jonker Walk/Street. You can choose to stop by at Hard Rock Cafe if you feel like want to enjoy beers and live band performance at the same time.

Since it was a holiday Saturday, the whole area was crowded with tourists. I was given a Maroon 5 CD Cover as my reservation number. Waited for almost 40 minutes for a table for 8 persons. If you really want to visit this place, make sure you make a reservation through phone-call to prevent disappointment. Or else, just take a number and go for a quick walk at Jonker Walk.

After chatting with my buddies, I finally know that this new Hard Rock Cafe Melaka was officially open on 28 Jan 2013, which means it is a very new place for you to drop by.
Two more friends arrived and we finally chilling inside Hard Rock Cafe Melaka waiting for our table. Thanks to the friendly GM, Anderson K. Selva who assisted on getting us a table.
The 1,372 sq m cafe includes seating for 200, an upscale vibrant bar shown as above. Check out the Rock outfits in the cubicle on top of the bar.
There are variety kind of seats in Hard Rock Cafe Melaka, you can have round table at the side with cushion seats, square table for four, elevated seats right besides the bar for better view of the live bands. Oh ya, there are enough space for outdoor dining as well for you to enjoy the night scenery of Melaka River.
There are tons of choices on the menu. Feel free to ask the waiters if you are not sure about the dishes. Although the food is a bit pricey here, the portion is big enough for you to share with your partner.
The waiter was swift enough to help us order drinks. A jar of Calrsberg would be a vise choice for 5 persons drink if you just start to drink. Cheers!
You may want to order some food while waiting for the live band performance. Do remember that the kitchen will close at 10.30pm, order your food earlier.

If you want to have finger foods for 5 persons, you may order the JUMBO COMBO:
"A delectable array of their most popular starters. Includes Santa Fe Spring Rolls, Hickory-Smoked Chicken Wings, Onion Rings,Potato Skins and Tupelo Chicken Tenders. Served with different sauces for mixing and matching."
How's the food tasting at Hard Rock Cafe Melaka? Since I had my dinner I can't really comment much about it. However, the Signature Burger was great according to my friend; If you don't like greens, don't order the Caesar Salad hahaha
Hopefully I will make my way to Hard Rock Cafe Melaka again to try their other dishes next time. If you've been there, which dishes would you recommend?
Here's the round table that we've sitting at for the whole gathering session. Not sure if it was us too crowded at the table or the air-conitioner was not cold enough to cool us down who sitting at the side. After all, the windows near the bar was opened for customers dining outdoor.
I think the main attraction of every Hard Rock Cafe is their Live Band performance? For me, I would definitely visit this place for great performance from the live band. You can request for the song you like to hear after a few songs performance by them. Especially when you got friends having birthday celebration at one same place, feel free to ask them for a rock style birthday song!
If you love to have something Hard Rock as souvenirs, feel free to visit their shop outlet inside the cafe. I've never really go inside since I was stuck in my seat haha. Here's another reason for you to sit in the middle of the cafe instead of trapping yourself between friends at the round table.
Finally, another group photo of us infront of Hard Rock Cafe Melaka!! It was nice to meet up with you all primary school buddies who attended that night and really thanks for coming!
PS: Do come earlier next time although I know in Malaysia there is a tradition that an event always start one hour late. Just like Chinese's wedding =( Hopefully we can break the rules! Nobody like to wasting time wait for another friend to arrive~
