About Us

Welcome to the HRC Shot Collectors Website!

Our hobby is collecting Hard Rock Cafe shot glasses.  To help everyone keep track of this "insane hobby", we've created this website in order to catalogue as many of the hundreds of shots as possible.  We hope you find this website useful in tracking and updating your own collection.

About Us!

Well, we're Hard Rock Cafe shot collectors!  For the most part, many of us have been collecting for a number of years now.   We all have a story of how we started collecting them:  as a souvenir from a trip, as a token of our conquest over tequila or because a friend or family member went on an expensive trip without us and all we got was the "stupid" shot glass.  Regardless, we've come to enjoy the collection and challenge of chasing the last one down  (figuratively and literally!).  For some of us, the hobby is a bit of obsession while others are only out to collect a select group of the collection.

Through the hobby, we've come to know each other, whether through the Yahoo group (link below), meeting up at cafes or from buying or selling on eBay.   We're a fairly diverse group with members in different parts of the world, occupations and social structure (we're not the comic book geek living in mom and pop's basement...not that there's anything wrong with that).

This hobby certainly rocks but one of the best things has been the community and friendship we've found with fellow collectors.  We're open to new memberships (free discussion group on Yahoo - link below) so if this website is useful and interesting, consider joining us!

Every year, we organize an annual Hard Rock Cafe sponsored event so everyone can meet up at a Hard Rock Cafe location in North America.  For 2011, we will be in Las Vegas!

Get to know the other collectors!

A quick Q&A with fellow collectors.  Each month a new collector (as long as we can find someone to ante up).  This featurette will appear on the News page. 

We're BIG on giving back - check out the different charities we've supported over the years at our annual events:  Charity page.

Also, check out some pictures on the group Picture page.

As collectors, we also have a Yahoo group where we discuss our hobby.  If you're interested in trading or discussing Hard Rock Cafe shot glasses, please join us!  Some of us also collect shot glasses from Planet Hollywood, Rainforest Cafe, All Star Cafe, ESPN Zone, Hooters, and other theme restaurants.  Get some info, trade, buy, sell shots and meet people in the hobby!
