list_393_2Just when The Hard Rock (424/3-6 Siam Square Soi 11, 02-251-0794. BTS Siam) was about to go soft, on Jun 8, they sharpened their image with a complete revamp. The rock pub feel is now a little more edgy-chic (picture Axl Rose in a tux to get the analogy). We’re particularly impressed with Anon Pairot’s blocky aluminum backdrop for the stage. Before you freak out, do note that the fundamentals haven’t changed. You still have nostalgic rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia to admire; you still have the in-house Filipino band serenading you with your rock classics; and you still have hearty burgers to chow down.
