Serving People & Our Planet

Our brand plants the roots of its global soul in every place we live. Hard Rock founders, Isaac Tigrett and Peter Morton, were two young Americans who brought together American food and rock ‘n’ roll in London, heart of the world’s music scene in 1971. They wanted a cafe that embraced everyone, whatever their background, to unify a world where “bankers did not hang out with bakers.”
