THE hugely-anticipated Hard Rock Cafe in Newcastle and the first to open in the region has been unveiled for the first time today.
The brand new venue on Newcastle's Quayside was finally revealed after more than three-and-a-half years since plans were first made.
The Northern Echo had a look around the new name hoping to make history in the North-East as further details ahead of its grand opening were announced.
It comes as the restaurant, which is housed in the Grade-I listed Guildhall building, recently confirmed plans to open as restrictions were eased.
Steeped in North-East music memorabilia, the Hard Rock Cafe in Newcastle is set over two floors with enough space to seat 180 people.
