Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar brings a taste of Cabo San Lucas to Huntington Beach
Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar will bring a taste of Cabo San Lucas to Huntington Beach when the first Cabo Wabo Beach Club & Bar debuts at The Waterfront Beach Resort, a Hilton Hotel in February 2023. An elevated take on Hagar’s world-famous Cabo Wabo Cantina, the new Cabo Wabo Beach Club will evoke the laid back, beach town vibe of Cabo San Lucas, while presenting a flavorful menu of coastal Mexican cuisine that will complement the picturesque and captivating oceanfront setting of The Waterfront Beach Resort.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Sammy Hagar’s Cabo Wabo Beach Club to The Waterfront Beach Resort – this is an exciting partnership that combines Sammy Hagar’s energy and creativity with the modern sophistication of our resort,” comments Paulette Fischer, General Manager of The Waterfront Beach Resort. “Our oceanfront setting is the ideal home for this concept, and we are confident that it will be extremely popular with locals and visitors, alike.”
Sammy Hagar’s Cabo Wabo Beach Club will span more than 11,000 square feet with full indoor and outdoor dining, lounge seating and bars. The new restaurant will be located adjacent to the Driftwood Beach Club and occupy spaces that were formerly home to the Boardwalk Restaurant, Dock Bar, and Riptide Bar. The indoor dining room will feature 132 seats, plus 19 seats in the bar and 20 seats in the lounge; while an outdoor dining room will seat 64, as well as offer 22 seats in the bar and 20 seats in the lounge. A private dining room will serve as a space for meetings and other exclusive gatherings.
Designed by Ideation Design Group, Cabo Wabo Beach Club will be wrapped in fresh coastal design with vibrant elements. The outdoor bar will resemble a Mexican palapa with a roof of dried palm leaves, elevated with furniture and finishes in a refined coastal color palette of crisp whites, sea-blue tones and sandy hues. The space will have rock-and-roll features peppered throughout, including a noteworthy outdoor flaming guitar fire pit.
“I’m thrilled to announce that The Waterfront Beach Resort, which is one of my favorite hotels, is introducing the first Cabo Wabo Beach Club. Inspired by the laidback Baja party vibe of my original Cabo Wabo Cantina, there won’t be a better spot to enjoy cocktails and fantastic cuisine overlooking the beach,” said Sammy Hagar.
