Irreverent. Brash. Philanthropic. We’ve been doing things our own way since 1971. What started as an American diner in the heart of London has blossomed into a way of life. Hard Rock isn’t just a name; it’s a culture. And with each new cafe, hotel and casino, Hard Rock’s message reaches more and more people. "Love all. Serve all." It’s a simple reminder to love one another and live for the moment… with a dash of rock!

Sarofim Hall includes orchestra, mezzanine and upper gallery seating, with the farthest seat in the balcony only 128 feet from the stage. Private boxes also provide an excellent view of each performance. The theater, including the Ruth B.

Hudson Lounge

Restaurant/Cafe

Hudson Lounge’s luxe design embraces the definitive tenets of mid-century modern architecture: open floor plans, bright, natural, white light, an emphasis on horizontal and vertical lines, and accomplished attempts at bringing the outdoors in via floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights and patios interspersed with indoor spaces. The Lounge’s front, main building spans 2,800 square feet in two primary rooms and features a white marble bar, LED lighting and modern, but comfortable, furniture. Multiple flat screen televisions behind the bar-hidden from view, when not in use, by one-way mirrors-and LED projectors aimed at interior and exterior walls will support a variety of audio visual offerings for patrons and meeting and event planners, such as curated film content and major sporting events to presentations. Large, custom-made geometric glass and steel "swivel doors" at the front and back of the building, facing north and south, create a natural breezeway when opened, leading to the 1,500-square-foot back patio, an artistic triumph reminiscent of the modern minimalism of 1960’s Palm Springs. The casually cool area is hemmed in by the bars’ floor-to-ceiling windows and stark, white stucco walls, while tumbled blue glass peeks through giant cement pavers, and a row of palm trees tower over the patio’s western wall. Hudson Lounge’s rear pavilion completes the property’s layout; a 1,000-square-foot space with bar and wine storage designed for crowd overflow on busy nights plus private events with room for up to 99 guests for standing cocktails or approximately 40 when seated. The entire venue is available for rental for daytime happenings ranging from luncheons and product launches to board meetings and bridal showers. Reservations 713-530-1293
