Hard Rock Cafe is well known for its fresh and authentic American food as well as its exceptional live bands and solo performances. The place is perhaps one of the most nostalgic places we’ve ever seen while growing up.
Recently, Hard Rock® announced the opening of the brand’s fourth Hard Rock Cafe in Peninsular Malaysia, following the existing outlets across the states of Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Melaka. Hard Rock Cafe Puteri Harbour will be setting foot into Iskandar Puteri, Johor, the southernmost city in Peninsular Malaysia, scheduling its soft opening in December 2021.
In a press release shared with WOB, The contemporary restaurant and bar is said to be the first of its kind to have a flair of modern interior design featuring a classy, sleek and uncluttered set-up with Instagram-worthy spots for fans.
The 557-square metre outlet accommodates up to 238 guests, which consists of both indoor and outdoor dining spaces across two floors and a stage for live entertainment. The upper floor holds the capacity to seat 100 with the main dining area alongside a private dining room.
Local guests and visitors to Johor can enjoy the one-of-a-kind live music and entertainment from the indoor dining space located on the lower ground floor of the cafe. The highlight of the cafe is the alfresco dining area which overlooks the scenic harbour accompanied by a picturesque sunset view.
Guests at the Hard Rock Cafe get to take a walk through the memorabilia wall, which displays a series of iconic memorabilia from legendary musicians around the globe. Over the years, the memorabilia wall has become a signature feature of Hard Rock Cafes celebrating unique pieces donated by or bought from popular rock stars from different eras.
At Hard Rock Cafe Puteri Harbour, guests are provided with a selection of authentic flavours with the freshest high-quality ingredients from Hard Rock’s menu, featuring the Original Legendary® Burger from the Signature Steak Burgers series, mouthwatering Specialty Entrees, Bar Bites, selection of salads, sandwiches and desserts.
The cafe also offers a variety of beverages, from draft beers & wines, handcrafted cocktails including Hard Rock’s signature Hurricane Cocktail to Alternative Rock alcohol-free selections.
Hard Rock’s world-renowned Rock Shop, located within the cafe, offers a rock star shopping experience for collectors and fans, carrying music-inspired merchandise like classic tees, hats, pins, glassware and accessories.
Tay Keyin, Malaysia’s first female freestyle saxophonist will also be performing during the soft opening.
“The opening of Hard Rock Cafe Puteri Harbour will offer over 50 new direct jobs and also opportunities for indirect services.”
Apart from offering job opportunities, Anibal Fernandez, Vice President of Franchise Operations, Hard Rock International said they are excited to deliver unforgettable authentic experiences that rock through the welcoming of all guests, ranging from the locals to the tourists, in hopes of becoming a recharge from their busy lives.
WORLD OF BUZZ reached out to Hard Rock to ask if the opening extends to the general public or the fully vaccinated and this was their response,
“We hope to welcome diners when we are open but due to the uncertainties of the pandemic, we are only able to confirm closer to the soft opening day.”
