Be sure to take the free tour or Hard Rock before seeing a concert there. There's so much history there one should appreciate the venue before experiencing it

Dave Richard

Great "professional" place to see a show. Even better if you have an annual pass to Universal . I must say that it's rare for there to be something non-mainstream here though

Matt White

Enjoyed a great private function here as a part of CampusInsight 2013! The John Lennon room is cool and the outdoor veranda and patio are great for relaxing. Had an awesome time!

Tim Shea

A nice venue for Classic Albums Live and many other artists . We find the seating more comfortable upstairs. Also, two bars upstairs!!

Christina Benjamin

I love this place. If you can get upstairs seating it's awesome. I love the Classic Albums Live and we just saw Trevor Hall and Matisyahu there!

Liz Dauer

We had our holiday party in the roots room and the Lennon room . The staff was amazing, especially Zuleika!! What an amazing party

Carl D

A great venue, but the stage is too small for "event " concerts that require large stages for sets & props. Those would be best seen at arenas or theatres . If you hear of an artist known for extravagan Read more

Decent concert venue but a total pain in the butt to get to. Last show we saw was during Halloween Horror nights so we had to shell out $17 for parking on top of the 3 mile hike to the hard Rock.

Scott Rienbeck

Show up an hour before doors open. When you get in use the restroom , hit the bar to order a double tall drink then secure your spot closest to the stage. Don't move for any one. Rock out!

Katt

Live music and beautiful view . Great area for the kids or for a date night .

Daniel McLeary

Food is incredible but HUGE portions . Serve Newcastle Brown Ale with a weird label however

Mary Jeneverre Schultz

Ask a staffer for a backstage tour . They are accommodating when there is no concert to show off their concert venue .

Justeen Keller

I've been to a few Hard Rock places but this one was really nice!! Employees were super friendly and helpful :)

Eric Hess

Very cool Alice Cooper was there. Check out their listings online.

Mark Gottlieb Jr.

The best venue for #Orlando events I enjoyed the #AllStarJam2014 with K92.3

Nick M

I am disappointed in the seating and can't believe it's legal. The far ends of the side sections were blocked off making it impossible to exit without having to walk the entire aisle.

Event Junkies

I know its a tourist destination but the shows & sound are still pretty good but get your tickets early because it will sell out

This Week on Lot

Heavy security at the door with metal detectors but no pat down and lax inside. Buy the Hard Rock cup or bring one from home, if you have one, as drinks are cheaper that way. - SW

JR LALOR

Great place! Excellent Sound System ... but they need a better Agenda and better Access!!! Love to Deal with them!

Clare Queen-Hutchinson

Had fun the last time I was there me and Angel took our kids to Halloween horror nights

Jared Midkiff

Venue is cool. Waiter seemed confused at gift card credit card (visa) really seemed as if he didn't want the hassle. Then didn't bring back change. .58 is not breaking the bank but its the principle.

Tab

Great venue for comics , can't believe I've never been here before! MUST do this again!!

Melinda Ferguson

Thank you Universal for sponsoring the Youth Pastor Summit! Thank you Bruce Wenger for all you do for God 1st and our youth.

Mooney Mj

This is a great-sounding venue. Sold out is a little too cramped.

David Whittington

Brad is an awesome waiter - he was great with my kids. We loved the "shark" jokes too.

Jordan Fine

Great venue but super inconvenient to see a show: first you have to pay outrageous parking fee, then travel though the chaos of City Walk. Lastly, you are trapped in the land of overpriced food. Meh

Chrys Duarte

Awesome! Good food and good drinks

Ernest Sharp

Metal detectors at the door which caused the show to be late,, seats crammed in too close together.

Dave Carey

Good place to see a show, but the audiences suck! They never stop talking.

Kara is the best bartender tell her EJ sent ya!!!

Cristina

Great food and location.

Great small venue. The dual levels really give an intimate feel to the concert you're seeing...which is amazing if it's your favorite band you're here to see. I wish all my faves would book here - Shannon V.
