Started in London by two American fellows Hard Rock Café is known world round with 138 locations in 42 countries. The memorabilia found in the Hard Rock Cafes is a collection of over 70,000 items that is by far the largest of it’s kind, but it all started with one guitar (a Fender Lead II) from Eric Clapton who was a regular at a hip café in London where the attitude was anything goes. He gave the guitar to the men to hang on the wall and the next week a Gibson Les Paul arrived from Pete Townsend with a note that stated “mine’s as good as his. Love, Pete.” And so the story goes. A beloved Hard Rock Café is now located in Prague, one of the most visited and most beautiful cities in the world. Situated in a four-story building with a colorfully decorated neo Renaissance façade, Hard Rock Café Prague, the largest in Europe, covers three floors and boasts two bars and, of course, Rock and Roll decor including a 5 meter chandelier in the shape of a guitar. The memorabilia showcased at the café includes, among many items, a pair of studded black bell-bottom pants from the King himself, a black shirt embroidered with silver and gold eagles once belonging to the Man in Black himself, Johnny Cash, and a black tuxedo coat, top hat and cane from Madonna’s Virgin Tour of 1985. Hard Rock Café offers American style food including a variety of tasty appetizers, burgers, salads, steaks, and desserts. And of course, you can purchase the traditional Hard Rock Café t-shirts, sweatshirts and mugs.
