Rock & Roll Hall-of-Famer Sammy Hagar brings a taste of Cabo San Lucas to Huntington Beach with the opening of his flagship Cabo Wabo Beach Club at The Waterfront Beach Resort, a Hilton Hotel. An elevated take on Hagar’s world-famous Cabo Wabo Cantina, the 11,000-square-foot Cabo Wabo Beach Club evokes the laid back, beach town vibe of Cabo San Lucas, while presenting a flavorful menu of coastal Mexican cuisine that perfectly complements the picturesque and captivating oceanfront setting of The Waterfront Beach Resort.
“We are thrilled to welcome an entirely unique dining experience to The Waterfront Beach Resort through our partnership with Sammy Hagar, who has created global brands in the restaurant and spirits industries,” comments Paulette Fischer, General Manager of The Waterfront Beach Resort. “The energy and creativity that Sammy Hagar brings to our sophisticated, service-forward oceanfront resort has resulted in a magical oasis that is sure to attract locals and visitors, alike.”
Designed by Ideation Design Group, Cabo Wabo Beach Club is wrapped in fresh coastal elements and colors with vibrant touches. The outdoor bar resembles 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 is peppered with subtle rock-and-roll features, including an electric guitar emerging from an outdoor fire pit.
In the beginning
Since opening the doors to his original Cabo Wabo Cantina in 1990, Hagar, who has been named the Honorary Ambassador of Los Cabos, Mexico, has turned a lifelong passion for great food, music and spirits into a thriving and iconic lifestyle brand.
“Cabo Wabo Beach Club is the next sentence in the Cabo Wabo story – it is my original concept, reimagined to fit seamlessly into one of my favorite hotels, The Waterfront Beach Resort,” explained Hagar, who sought inspiration for the concept from the laidback Baja party vibe of his original Cabo Wabo Cantina. “As an Orange County resident, I can say that there isn’t a better spot to enjoy killer cocktails and fantastic cuisine, while taking in a stunning sunset.”

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
In 2008, Sammy Hagar and his wife, Kari, created The Hagar Family Foundation, a dedicated fund that has, to date, given more than $4 million to charities in local communities focused on food relief and children’s causes. As an Orange County resident, Hagar will grow his foundation’s reach locally as he has committed to donating a majority of his personal net-proceeds from the Cabo Wabo Beach Club at The Waterfront Beach Resort to Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC).
Hagar’s philanthropic partnership through Cabo Wabo Beach Club is dedicated to CHOC’s Social Service Department to support children and their families who are struggling with the burden of financial and psychosocial obstacles that accompany a child’s hospitalization and treatment. Donations will be sent to CHOC Foundation on a regular basis in perpetuity as long as Cabo Wabo Beach Club in Huntington Beach remains open, and will help support parents so they may focus on their child’s care and well-being.
Sammy Hagar’s Cabo Wabo Beach Club is now open at The Waterfront Beach Resort, a Hilton Hotel. For more information, please visit CaboWaboBeachClub.com.
