Hard Rock Cafe: Music History in a Bauhaus Building on Kurfürstendamm

The Hard Rock Cafe Berlin has been located at Kurfürstendamm 224, in a landmarked Bauhaus building just before Joachimstaler Platz, since April 26, 2010. The Berlin venue originally opened on May 18, 1992, at a different address. Today’s location is as central as it gets in City West: The Kurfürstendamm and Zoologischer Garten subway stations are within walking distance, and Zoo Station is just a few minutes away. Those arriving by car can park on Meinekestraße, just around the corner. The venue includes a Rock Shop with merchandise; the chain operates a second one at Checkpoint Charlie.

Memorabilia, Burgers, and Live Music

Inside, the building is modernly designed without obscuring its historical charm: a large bar area, a spacious dining room, and original pieces of music history on the walls. The menu features the chain’s classics: the Original Legendary Burger with bacon, cheddar, and onion ring costs 20.95 Euros, and the Baby Back Ribs with fries and coleslaw cost 27.95 Euros. Also available are fajitas, nachos, steaks, and an extensive cocktail menu. There is brunch on weekends, bands regularly play live, and the calendar includes evenings such as an English-language Comedy Night or a music quiz. Well-behaved dogs are welcome at the table. Those presenting a concert or trade fair ticket from the same day receive a 15 percent discount on food, non-alcoholic beverages, and purchases in the Rock Shop.
