Tonight we were in Blue Mall and decided to have dinner in Hard Rock. We were literally the only people in the whole place when we entered (at 7pm) and we were the only people who had eaten anything when we left (at 9pm). A few couples came in and had drinks, maybe 6 people in total. Such a shame to see something that is failing so spectacularly. To my mind the prices are way high - a bottle of water was RD$ 150 ++ (so RD$ 192 in total). A cuba libre was RD$ 500, just short of US$ 10 and they measured the rum so it was one of the weakest I've tasted in a long time. And Santo Domingo has so many bars now I guess the competition is ferocious.
I'd not be surprised if Hard Rock takes away the right to use the brand soon, it's such a sad example.
