You guys know I love the Hard Rock brand! So, the fact that there is going to be a Hard Rock Cafe about 1.5 hours from my house is pretty freaking awesome. I love collecting the pins and have been able to pick some up from as far away as The Cayman Islands. So you can be sure that your girl will be getting at least one in Bristol very soon. Do they offer the pins at the hotels, too? I have always collected them from the cafes before. Sounds like I will have to do some investigation. Here’s everything we know so far.
Hard Rock Hotel Coming To Bristol, Marketplace Now Open + July Music Schedule
While the grand opening of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Bristol, Virginia, is a few months away, the popular entertainment venue has already expanded its dining options with the opening of Marketplace on Tuesday, July 9.
A local gathering place within Virginia’s first casino, Marketplace is conveniently located off the main gaming floor and celebrates and promotes the cultural diversity of the community through great food and beverages. The food hall is a casual neighborhood-centered environment featuring a diverse tenant mixture with rich cuisines and customs of food vendors and cafés.
Treasured Mexican fare and an assortment of specialty Aguas Frescas are available at Street Tacos. Brick’d Italian Kitchen serves classic pizzas and other Italian favorites, and Fish & Chicken Co.’s creative Southern cuisine celebrates the rich culinary heritage of the casino’s home in Southwest Virginia and the surrounding region.
“We are so happy to debut Marketplace and all the delicious dishes available there to our guests,” said Vice President of Food and Beverage Sunwoo Choi of ‘Bristol Casino — Future Home of Hard Rock.’ “The opening of our permanent facility — including the casino floor, hotel, Hard Rock Café and Hard Rock Live — is slated for later this year. In the meantime, we still have much to offer guests from our region and beyond.”
In addition to the new dining options now available at the casino, guests can dine at Mr. Lucky’s or enjoy a coffee at Constant Grind.
