Arnel Pineda at Hard Rock Café grand opening

Hard Rock, the 223-square-foot, state-of-the-art café, is hosting its grand opening party on April 30 at 7 p.m. at Conrad S Maison. The event will be a rock-star affair with Arnel Pineda, Journey’s lead vocalist, joining Anibal Fernandez, vice president of franchise operations and development for Hard Rock International; Steve Yang, area vice president of development and operations for Asia-Pacific at Hard Rock International; and John Paul Manuud, The Bistro Group’s chief operating officer, to set the stage for this epic celebration.

“We are excited to reopen our doors in Manila with a bang by hosting a guitar-smashing event,” said Fernandez.

The party will be kicked off by a motorcade steered by the Harley Davidson Group Manila. After Pineda’s performance, The Ice Bucket Band, a weekly mainstay at Hard Rock Cafe Manila, will take center stage with their renditions of songs by Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Styx, and many more of the greatest rock idols of all time.

Guests can enjoy fresh, high-quality items from Hard Rock’s menu, including a selection of fan-favorite Legendary Burgers, each featuring unique toppings, savory sauces and rich, melted cheeses. Hard Rock’s Smokehouse offerings utilize the very best hickory wood chips to slowly cook its ribs, chicken and pork to juicy, tender perfection. In addition to its food, Hard Rock Cafe’s extensive, award-winning drinks menu includes Hurricanes, Margaritas, signature favorites and Alternative Rock (alcohol-free) beverages, all available in Hard Rock’s souvenir, collectible glassware.
