Hard Rock Cafe in Station Square to close in February 2025

PITTSBURGH — When Neil Young said rock and roll can never die, that apparently did not include rock and roll-inspired restaurants.

Station Square’s Hard Rock Cafe, a longstanding staple of the South Side development that had been open for over 20 years, will permanently close its doors on Feb. 13, 2025.

According to a spokesperson for Hard Rock, the restaurant’s lease is expiring in February, and ownership made the decision to not renew. The closing comes after the chain rolled out a Pittsburgh-inspired burger to all of its over 300 international locations earlier this year.
