Considering it was the first such place in Poland, it's sort of a tourist trap in and of itself.

Or was. Never been there, because 25PLN for a beer was an outrageous sum at the time.

There’s a Hard Rock cafe in Wrocław charging 2x the price of every other restaurant. From memory 70PLN for a burger. And yet it’s always full. I genuinely don’t understand.

Many tourist are really scared of trying something they don't know.

Sure, but I wouldn’t call the area an ugly mass tourism zone. That would be more the Old Town.

As a tourist who has been to said mall, it is a pretty damn nice mall, maybe the nicest I've been to.

(I didn't go to the mall for touristic reasons, I just wanted to grab a bite after arriving in Warsaw by train.)

I think Hard Rock Cafe exists to keep those tourists away from the other places.

(Though I've only been in one once, when my friend's band played a gig.)
