Another stop at the Hard Rock! This one is also fairly small, and located in a shopping mall. It is at the front of the Taj Mahal shopping center, not a far walk at all from the port (take a left when exiting the port) so don't go paying taxis outrageous prices to go here! The retail is all on the ground floor and dining and bar upstairs. There is no smoking at all inside the restaurant or bar but there is an outside balcony with seating where smoking is allowed. You can also get a fairly decent view from the balcony so even if you don't smoke, check it out.
They were not playing any music while we were here, strange for a Hard Rock, but the staff were great, took pictures for us, kept our beer full, and gave us a rundown of they types of rum and where to get them. Again it was not busy and if you are looking for atmosphere try Margaritaville, but overall not a bad Hard Rock, attentive staff, and not to crowded.
