"Johannesburg is famous for its energetic and electrifying culture and incredible music and we are excited to open here. Our local partner, Soft Coffee Holdings, has worked hand in hand with us to ensure this cafe will become an instant hit," said Antonio Bautista, area VP, Hard Rock International.

Guests can enjoy fresh, high-quality items including the Legendary Experience menu, featuring a selection of 10-ounce Legendary Burgers. The brand uses the best hickory wood chips to cook its ribs, chicken and pork slowly. In addition to its food, its extensive, award-winning drinks menu includes Hurricanes, Margaritas, signature favourites and alternative rock (alcohol-free) beverages, all available in its souvenir collectible glassware.

The Johannesburg cafe's Rock Shop offers rock 'n' roll-inspired items and collectible branded merchandise.

Fans can also acquire the brand's signature pins.
