Kuro (in Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood)

Our first-ever flight of phenomenal fare at Kuro was on May 29. The cuisine was so outstanding, we returned for an encore which was even better than the night before. The service on May 30th was stellar. Kudos to Kuro for securing some of the town’s best in hospitality talent. Our server, Jeremy, was catering and kind, and always around when we needed him. We love to sit at sushi bars and this sushi-bar experience was first-class. The genuinely creative, dedicated and engaging Sushi Chefs— Sirs Jin 1 and Jin 2, Nara, Natta and Sarun— all made our dining totally divine. Our photos truly do not capture the full essence of the freshness, flavor and artistry that our palates enjoyed to the utmost. It was a vast and unique selection of sea treasures, the finest procured from Japan, highlighted as Omakase-style surprises. Since we were celebrating my husband’s birthday, along with their elegant birthday presentation, we also selected two authentic and exotic dessert creations— The sweet and mouthwatering courses were the Mochi Cake and the Matcha Milk Chocolate Cake. A sure bet this distinctive place will rock your special occasion.

Me and my family recently went to Kuro inside the Hard Rock Hollywood, FL to celebrate our son’s birthday. It was an outstanding experience. The food was absolutely fantastic. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The sushi was top-tier, perfectly prepared with fresh ingredients. The flavors were well-balanced with beautiful presentation. It was truly special dinner. Highly recommend if you're looking for a high-end sushi spot with amazing flavors and a sleek atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

During my recent visit to Kuro Japanese Steakhouse, I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional quality of their sushi offerings. The restaurant’s commitment to sourcing both locally and internationally is evident, with ingredients like Hokkaido scallops and Japanese Wagyu beef featured prominently on the menu.  The sushi chefs at Kuro are true artisans. Chef Mickey and Chef Jin were fantastic. Their meticulous attention to detail and dedication to their craft result in sushi that is not only visually stunning but also a delight to the palate. Each piece of nigiri and sashimi showcases the freshness of the fish, with flavors that are both bold and harmonious. Just as impressive was the service. Our server, Luis, elevated the entire experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable and personable, offering excellent drink recommendations that paired perfectly with our meal.

Appetizers were tantalizing! Dinner was amazing!! Desert was delicious!!! Had fantastic service from the moment I arrived until the second I left. I recommend going here before all restaurants at the Hard Rock. Salvatore the prior manager of this location told me about this "gem" and I'm so satisfied we choose to dine here. They are always super slammed ...now I see why. Make reservations and definitely make time to go here. Kudos 👏 Kuro thanks again for the magnificent memories.

Kuro is hands-down my favorite sushi restaurant! Everything about this place is top notch—from the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming and stylish, setting the tone for an incredible dining experience. The sushi is consistently fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. The sushi chefs are not only masters at their craft but also incredibly friendly and warm, which makes the whole experience feel even more special. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or just looking for a great night out, Kuro never disappoints. I honestly love everything about this restaurant!

Delicious food, fun & beautiful atmosphere!! The staff are attentive and give great service. I love sitting in the bar area, its fun to people watch especially on busy nights & the bartenders kill it, they are rockstars!! The food is the freshest around & the flavors are Flavoring! 🤌 The tuna crispy rice is absolutely delicious, as well as the seabass miso! The grilled octopus is so yummy & so many veggies to choose from, including the brussel sprouts & corn mekishiko. The sushi & sashimi are top-notch quality, great flavor combinations & so pretty!

Amazing spot with excellent meats and sushi. The lounge was awesome. Guido is the best bartender, love that guy. The sushi chef brought us the restaurant special for mother’s day which complimented our experience very nicely. Will be coming back to try more of their sushi.

What a restaurant! Located in the Hard Rock casino in Hollywood it offers a totally perfect dining experience. From absolutely delicious, yummy food, to a beautiful restaurant and fantastic staff. The food offers Japanese cuisine with sushi and main courses that are made to lick your lips! The service is polished and everything is for your enjoyment and happiness. There is also outside dining overlooking the pool and an incredible brunch seafood buffet (we have not tried, but saw). Make sure to reserve, as it is really popular and does get very busy.

I was skeptical about the L bar because it's just on the side path in the hard rock casino. I've also walked past it a dozen times. Today I decided to give it a go and I'm happy I did. The service was great, our bartender was friendly, and made excellent suggestions. we ordered the Uno and the passion. They were both delicious drinks that I would definitely return for. The L Bar also has spirit free drinks available so if you're going alcohol free and don't want to drink, you should grab something here. I'm pretty sure it'll be good. The ambulance is relaxed during the day and evening. They used to have a live band with a small area for dancing. This might be my new hotspot for beverages at the casino.

This has always been my favorite bar at Hard Rock H&C. I like that it's not fully surrounded by machines, it has bar and couch seating. The drinks are good and there's always a nice crowd. They also always play the best music!!

great drinks, I recommend everyone come here rather than order drinks anywhere else in the casino. if you are a fan of old fashions, strongly recommend theirs. that being said, management, please get rid of karina, the female with the bob hair cut lol she is awful, I mean probably costing you hundreds if not thousands of dollars per night. even though she was not our server, she insisted on coming over as we were ordering more drinks with our bartender at 1:45 am to tell us we couldn't order more drinks because they closed at 2. our bartender made them anyway, earning her money. but the best part is I watched Karina do it again with another gentleman BEFORE 2 am. you guys are bleeding money with this person on the team. that being said, Sofia was incredible, great drinks, great attitude, and very kind. last piece, I don't ever write reviews, goes to show how awful that chick was. peace

Good drink, but very busy bar! I took one star away because I'm pretty sure they made me wait a little longer at the bar under the impression that I was either really young or didn't have the money for my drink. I don't know which one it was, but I'll probably try another bar in the hotel anyway.

First time here, awesome environment to socialize. Drinks were amazing. 10/10, as well as the service. Bar tenders were super friendly and seemed experienced. I'd definitely return!

Perfection... the one word to describe the balance and beauty in a well blended cocktail. Thanks to our brilliant bartender who crafted not one but 2 perfect cocktails, I wish I could remember your name... you worked the L Bar the night of Sunday, September 9th, around 8:45p. I want to say his name was Carlos... I will send everyone his way if I find out gus name. It's that amazing and that serious to know someone who does it just right.

Great bartenders, really creative drink menu, and fantastic service. Be prepared though to pay $13 minimum for a drink, but totally worth it.

I am happy that I finally had the opportunity to make it to the Hard Rock Guitar hotel in Hollywood. With amazing design and aesthetics, the whole place felt fresh! I could lose myself in the small nuance of each nook. Sadly, I wish this bar matched the overall presence and quality of the overall hotel. It didn't even come close.... First off, let me first give a shout out to the bar back/bus boy. He was literally the only one working his a.. off trying to ensure this place lived up to the almost 5 star rating this place carries on Yelp. He managed to quickly clear any empty drinks, wiped every small smudge off the tables, and made sure he wasn't intruding on our evening. Otherwise, the service was terrible. First off, the waitresses rarely checked on us and didn't know what we had ordered. When it was time for the bill, our waitresses walked by three to four times thinking we had already gotten the bill and cleared our tab. Being honest, we corrected them, but still had to wait 10 minutes because they seemed to not remember anything we ordered. When the bill finally came, they had added extra items and had wrong items listed. They were polite enough to make the corrections and handled our bill. With expensive drinks and poor service, there was nothing there to motivate us to come back again. Definitely a hard pass...

Had a great time on a Saturday night . There was live band playing and we had gone there just to sit at the relax a bit since we do not gamble. The casino is well decorated and we stopped at several displays to read and see the items from our way from the garage to the bar. I noticed several single men and women at the bar and one guy sitting next to us told us " it's a good place to pick up a lady" . Anyway, the bartender was attentive and the drink was good. Probably it will take a while to go back because the strong cigarette smell stayed in our clothes and hair for a long time.

The first time I came here was last year for a Yelp Elite Event and thought than what a great bar I have to come back soon. So last night I planned to come as I was seeing a concert at Hard Rock Live. After the concert we made our way through the crowds to the L Bar. It was packed with four bartenders working hard to get out the crafted cocktails. Finally we got our drinks they were as delicious as I remembered. They have a great cocktail menu but after reviewing I ordered a mojito. They have glasses filled with fresh mint on the bar so I know that would make the drink great. Last time I was here we had Mai Tai's. But I didn't want to mix drinks as I am a light weight in that department. A manager passed by and I asked him if my hubby can smoke he said yes cigarettes. Being that it is on Indian property smokers were able to smoke freely in most places in the casino. It is nice for me as he didn't get banished outside as he does in most places. So the concert crowd thinned out and we were able to get seats in the front near the acoustical perfomers one was a DJ the other on guitar. They were phenomenal as they would blend different songs tbroughout the evening. There was room to dance and we did. The place was packed. Especially since the bar is open on both sides one facing the check in for hotel guests and the other side was the casino floor. There was a group of girls celebrating a bachelorette party. Another couple sitting on one of the many sofas enjoying a bottle of Veuve Clicquot my favorite. We had such a great evening we are already planning our next time back. As we will be checking in the hotel in the next few months as we get work done on our house. As they say YOLO! PSS for this evening out we Ubered home as we were very close to the front entrance where you meet your car makes zero sense driving and not having an over the top evening at the L Bar.

This bar is convenient and more lounge like, which I love. I like that The Shark has mini shows here too. The issues I have are they close early (midnight). The drinks are overpriced. More than half the times, the kegs are empty. Many times we are standing there without anyone acknowledging us. The cocktail waitresses are nice though.

Savanna M a.k.a. carpool buddy, a small group of Yelpers and I came here for the Yelp Holiday after party. It's a very nice looking bar located in the lobby. We started looking at their drink menus and all looked pretty cool. I tried to stay in the vodka theme so Savanna M ordered me a martini and she ordered a sangria . I like the way the bartender Jerry made my martini dirty. Sometimes the olive juice would overpower the drink if it was used a lot. But mine was just right for my taste. Other people in our group had various drinks between cocktails and beers, all seemed happy with their drinks. Price point-wise, $12-$15 per cocktail seems a bit steep, but you get to enjoy the atmosphere in the casino. I have not been to Hard Rock for a while, but this place seemed not too far off from Vegas. We were there around 9:30pm or so and the bar was not very busy, but somehow I get the feeling it'll be pretty busy late into the night. Overall, the drinks were fair, service was okay (they've got to stop making their bartenders pulling double shifts). You are sitting in the middle of where all the actions are while having an adult beverage...what else could be better?

The first time I really came into this bar was during an acoustic set of Bear Hands. We won tickets through the radio and got to see them play here. There were barely enough seats for everybody, we had to stand. However, it wasn't too bad since the concert was short. It's located in the lobby of the Hard Rock Casino. I've always walked by it but never stopped in. There were couches and seats all over. The bar was pretty big. They had quite a few concerts there which is pretty cool. There's no charge for the shows at this bar which is awesome. They had some big name bands play there; 1975, Vance Joy, and Silversun Pickups to name a few. The bar is known to make craft cocktails as well. It's a great spot to hangout especially after playing some penny slot machines or eating dinner at a nearby restaurant. I really like that it's a intimate venue to see some of your favorite bands up close and personal. Overall, it's easy to find and a great hangout spot!

Loud cramp and bar tender can't make a drink plus is it real that hard to not sell old beer that's sour seriously don't sell beer that's older went bad . Plus it wouldn't hurt to actually clean something....

Attended an acoustic set by Saint Motel at L Bar on a Saturday afternoon. Just had a beer as I watched the band performed. Quality L Bar is the lobby bar inside the Seminole Hard Rock Casino. It is a bit more sophisticated than other bars in the casino with comfortable seating and a little reprieve from the chaos of the casino. They had a nice set up for the band to perform and it feels like they could easily host small bands and single singers. The acoustics were better than I expected and even though it was a little packed it still was an intimate performance. The bar itself is nice and it had a large selection of drinks including plenty of local craft beers. Quantity It was very busy as a result of the special performance, but both before and after it was very relaxing and spacious. Maybe on weekend nights it gets busy, but I would assume it is usually a more laid back experience. Value The prices were very reasonable with my draft beer coming in at $5. Since the casino does not provide free drinks at least they offer good deals. Ambiance L Bar is located in the lobby of the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood. It straddles the area between the casino floor and the check-in desks for the hotel. It is a good sized space with a large circular bar at the center. The bar is very eye catching as it is slightly raised above the casino floor and then has a lighting structure and crazy sculptures up to the ceiling. Around the bar are several small coves full of sophisticated and comfortable chairs, some a bit too comfortable. There are also some strange sculptures like an octopus around the area. The band set up along one of the walls that had a painting of different instruments. It was a perfect spot for an intimate performance and still within arms distance of the bar. There were also televisions all over the bar so you can also watch a game. Crowd Again it was a strange occasion since they had a band playing a short acoustic performance. However, once the crowd cleared it was very calm with just a few hotel guests taking a break from gambling. It would also be a solid place for a before or after dinner drink. Service The bartenders were very friendly and quick to grab drinks. I would say that even though it is a cocktail bar, it is definitely not a place to expect great mixology. It is for simple cocktails and beers and you may be disappointed going for a specialty drink. Parking The casino has two massive parking garages where parking can easily be found. It does get busy on weekend nights, but even then some patience will still get you a spot. Extra L Bar was a great place to watch an intimate acoustic performance. In the middle of the busy casino it seemed like a calm oasis. The drinks were reasonably priced and the service was friendly. Definitely a great spot within the Seminole Hard Rock.

The L Bar at The Hard Rock Hotel Tampa was a great date night idea! We had never been before but will definitely return. The decor is adorable and the entertainment was amazing an electric guitar and a female singer that was so soulful I almost stood up and started singing with her but remembered it was not my show lol. I enjoyed a White Zinfandel from their house wines and my spouse had a Long Island! Both were delish!

I hadn't been to the Hard Rock in a while when we had a Yelp event here. I am so glad I had a chance to get back, because I love this lounge area. The decor is very modern, and the ambiance is super chill. When we were there, a dj was off to the side playing music. I know they have different people come in to play live music (at least from what I read). The mixologists were very friendly and knowledgeable. The manager also gave us some insight on the products the bar uses and how they make drinks. I had a great experience here and definitely want to bring my hubby back for some drinks one night.

Attentive, friendly service, and a interesting mix of options in the cocktail menu make this a fun stop. The decor is elegant, but not pretentious. The bar chairs are very comfortable, and the lounge areas are cozy. A highly recommended stop!

Went to L Bar for the first time because I won a radio station contest to see a band play an acoustic set. I didn't even know that this bar existed at the Hard Rock, but that is its charm! Located across from hotel check-in counter (hence the name "Lobby Bar"!), it's bright and nestled away from the loud hectic-ness of the casino. There's lots of seating along the bar, as well as couches and love seats in the area. Even though I was drinking at noon, the bartenders were fast, attentive, and generous with their pours! I had a great time at L Bar, I will definitely go here at night when I come back.

This sick bar is pretty sweet. It's located across the lobby of the Hard Rock Casino and it's a beautiful circular bar. I joined a group of Yelpers here after the holiday party since the party had to go on. You get to see the lobby and casino from the bar and enjoy some delicious drinks and food. Since I wasn't hungry, I stuck with a couple cocktails. My choice of the evening was the Moscow Mule. It was mixed with vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice that was served in a copper mug. The bartenders deserves kudos for all the drinks that came pouring out to us. Expect the prices to be a little bit more than usual since you're paying for the atmosphere. I gotta ask this though - There's a center and a L bar. Where's the R bar? ;)

Service was garbage! My friend and I sat at the bar and was LITERALLY ignored by the bar staff. Laura the main bartender in our proximity NEVER acknowledge us at all. We literally had to raise our voice to get anyone's attention...so sad since this was our first experience at the Seminole Hard Rock L Bar and will definitely be my last!

Hello L Bar, my new favorite bar in the casino! If you've ever been to Hard Rock you've definitely started or ended your night (or hell even spent your whole night) at the Center Bar. Well, there's a new kid in town - L Bar (for Lobby Bar) located near the hotel check in desk. Steve D. describes it well as Center Bar's grown up sibling, with craft cocktails and a much more classy vibe. (And I definitely saw Kim Jong attempting to light Steve D. on fire HAHAH) Ok, so truth is, they stopped serving at 1 or 2am, and we still ended the night at Center Bar (it's unavoidable lol) and although I enjoyed my time at Center Bar, being at L Bar and being able to sit and converse while ordering high end cocktails was great! I started off, and stuck with, the watermelon sangria all night. At $11 a pop it's definitely not cheap (nothing is at Hard Rock though), but watching the craftsmanship in each drink with watermelon chunks being mashed into liquid each time, topped off with a spring of mint in another watermelon chunk for looks - well I was sold. Another popular one is their take on a mojito - also called the sno-cone by my friends lol. Once someone at the bar ordered it and the other patrons saw it, well then everyone ordered it. Kudos to the staff for truly enjoying the jobs and making this bar a special place. Everyone knows how difficult getting a drink at Center Bar can be!

I loved it! Stopped here for a nightcap after dinner at Martorano's. The lighting, the furniture, the actual bar itself are all beautiful! The bartenders are friendly and the cocktail menu is inventive. It's definitely worth a stop to sit and have a drink here!

Cool lounge. Beers are $5 which is cheap. Drinks are $13 but they are good for the price. Seats comfortable and great spot to people watch.

I have visited this bar a few times and I like it very much. It is beautiful and the service is pretty good. I only wish they had some tapas or appetizers available. Just a thought, they can offer some appetizers from Kuro, Bol, or the Hard Rock Cafe.

Very relaxed place. Live music and nice variety of drinks. Just sit back sip and enjoy!

L bar is super cute, located in the center of casino floor. It's a great little escape from the slot machines to grab a drink and lounge. Lounge- that is exactly what I think about this place. Where there are comfy chairs, pretty lights and décor. Get your craft cocktails here, sip on a comfy chair, lounge. Stay away from the slot machines!

I wanted wet willies but they closed it in order to put up a new Hard Rock Hotel tower in the shape of an electric guitar. Came in to the bar area in the casino and there are half price drinks till 12 AM and a live band. Can't go wrong......good times even though a freaking 20 yr old can't play slots. Wtf!!!! Yet she can play at the poker tables.

This place is THE spot to have a couple of drinks while playing or waiting for dinner. It's super chill. On the weekends they have live music....relax! The best part is having Brooke make your cocktails. My husband loves her lemon drops and I am salivating just by thinking about her Passion Flower Martini. It's a passion fruit blend with vodka - TO DIE FOR! She's super attentive and fun - great asset for this bar. Can't wait to be back!

Figured my Pats will pull thru, with Vrady being called the ATM, so i put todays savings on the moneyline.

The hard rock is a staple of the area..i enjoy the food bars casino and it seems to have beautiful peaople..Not to mention the Ft. Lauderdale Improv...you won't be disappointed...the HardRock....ROCKS! Especially on the weekends

Went there 4th of July. I had the best amaretto sour ever. They used fresh lemon juice & it was noticeable. Drink was delicious. I'd have given them 4 stars, but lovely cocktail waitress wasn't clear on ingredients & if bartenders could make amaretto sour. Bartenders k ocked it out of park. Can't wait to return.

I love this bar ! I love the atmosphere; the bartenter and server Brooke and Sydney are the best ! I will definitely be back!

This new bar recently opened up inside the Hard Rock casino, and, as befits the massive pile of money behind it, is extremely well done. They've done a great job training the staff and the decor is really nice. It's a little pricey, so you won't see much of the penny slots crowd up here. It's also well away from most of the action, unlike the Center Bar, so it's a lot more of a chill atmosphere. Let's start with the staff. The crew working on Saturday were extremely helpful and attentive, and also damn good at mixing drinks. I had a few couple of Old Fashioneds and a Whiskey Sour, and each of these was excellent. Our bartender, Bryan, added a little twist to each one. A red wine float on the sour, which balanced it out nicely, and a black cherry for the Old Fashioneds. He also put up with our occasional antics extremely well, and was a great sport. The staff displayed good knowledge of their craft and took the time to make the drinks correctly. My only complaint is that the liquor selection is quite limited. No Oban? They need some more single malts. The place is a little pricey, so each craft drink will set you back between 10 and 15 bucks, but if you go to the hard rock and expect not to spend money, well, I can't help you. Even the pizza is 4 bucks a slice there. Overall, Lobby Bar's prices are about equivalent to other upscale bars in SoFla. If you're on a budget, keep track of your bill! Ambiance is very nice. It sort of has that hotel bar feel, but it has a wide sweeping view of the casino floor which makes it more fun than the typical hotel bar. The patrons are more of the upscale type. I saw a lot of nice suits and dresses. I am also pretty sure I saw Kim Jong Il, and that he tried to light me on fire with some sort of crazy cigar lighter. If you're at the Hard Rock and you're in the mood for a well made cocktail, definitely give Lobby Bar a try!

I had some pre-dinner drinks here on the 28th. Pretty crowded but it moved well and the bartender, Kassandra, provided excellent service. She also made a wonderful negroni and provided my partner w/ good suggestions.

This is the "other bar" at The Rock. A little less crowded and noisy, a little more intimate and chill. The bartenders here make a good drink and aren't usually too busy so the service is top notch.

This bar is way better than the bar in the middle of the casino. NICHOLAS IS AMAZING!!!! Wonderful service, good prices, and they're even good looking!

Great place I would like to visit there twice a week I love to drink over there everything is very exclusive I'm going there every Friday and I'm recommend this place more than five star thank you very much how about Seminole Casino

Good variety of music and the drinks are good. Also the type of people that go there are diverse too

After arriving at the Hard Rock we noticed the L Bar and decided to sit and have a drink. We usually go to the Center Bar but decided to check out this bar and here's our review: -- The wine selection was fair and so was the price -- But then we ordered two flutes of Veuve Clicquot. At $25.00 a glass we were stupified. Okay, we know we're at a casino where spending money is the game, but come on.

Bryan is awesome! Even with a full bar he made sure I was always happy...and to top it off he makes the best martinis!
