Hard Rock Cafe Seattle
A tourist trap worth falling into
Yes, it’s a Hard Rock. And yes, it’s mostly for tourists and out-of-towners who don’t
know better. BUT it does boast a pretty phenomenal astroturf topped rooftop bar, com-
plete with cabanas, a fire pit, and commanding views of the Pike Place, and Elliott Bay
behind the market’s famous neon sign.and the frustrated curses of people looking for
parking under said trees recede gently into the background.
A rooftop garden with food from one of the city’s best chefs
Everything on this stunning, triangular-shaped restaurant’s “earth to plate”-inspired
menu tastes better when you’re surrounded by an edible garden, one story above the
considerable fray of the always bustling Melrose Market. Especially the water buffa-
lo burger, or the Monday Night Paella.and the frustrated curses of people looking for
parking under said trees recede gently into the background.
