While the bar features specialty cocktails, Hard Rock Cafe Pittsburgh’s menu has burgers, chicken wings, nachos, and potato skins to start. Entrees range from fresh salads, sandwiches, and hickory-smoked barbecue specialties. Memorabilia on display includes costumes from Elton John, Elvis, and Michael Jackson, plus instruments once played by The Who and Stevie Wonder. There’s even a handwritten draft of lyrics by Bob Marley. Frequently the space holds open mic nights and battle of the bands events.
An on-site shop sells classic Hard Rock T-shirts, limited-edition pins, hats, cups, magnets, and more.
The restaurant is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible.
Two of the city’s most popular tourist attractions are located in the area—the Monogahela and Duquesne inclines. These cable car rides take you up Mt. Washington where you can take in panoramic views of Pittsburgh.
The Hard Rock Cafe Pittsburgh is in Station Square, just across the river from downtown Pittsburgh. The cafe is between the Grand Concourse Restaurant and the Sheraton Station Square Hotel, near the Smithfield Street Bridge. Parking lots are located to the east and west of the cafe. It’s also accessible via public bus and the red, blue, and silver light rail lines.
The Hard Rock Cafe Pittsburgh is open daily. Check the website for the most up-to-date info on events and shows. Also, expect bigger crowds when the local sports teams (Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates) are playing. In terms of weather conditions, the best time to visit Pittsburgh is in the summer months (July and August) and fall (September through November).
In addition to the Hard Rock Cafe Pittsburgh, Station Square boasts plenty of other shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Located in the South Shore neighborhood, along the Monongahela River, the complex features the Fountain at Bessemer Court, which offers a waterworks show with multi-colored water jets that are choreographed to music and soar into the air.
