The Cabo Wabo Catina is owned by the Red Rocker himself, Sammy Hagar. The club is located directly in town and is open serving both lunch and dinner in the upstairs restaurant area every day of the week. The nightclub is located downstairs boasting not only Sammy Hagar memorabilia, but also Van Halen is showcased since Sammy was a part of that band for a few years.
It is said that Sammy frequents his establishment and can show up at the club at any time and perform. We, however, weren't that lucky to catch a glimpse of him. Our Sammy Hagar sighting was merely on the television screens scattered throughout the restaurant constantly playing his music videos.
Sammy loves Cabo so much that he wrote a song about it "Cabo Wabo" which can be found on the Van Halen CD "OU812" (a quick excerpt "Lands End, you have to see it, ain't no picture ever say it right, no. Walkin' the streets doin' that ole cabo wabo, place comes to life every night").
Whether you visit the restaurant during the day or the club until the wee hours of the morning, make the Cabo Wabo a destination on your itinerary before you leave Cabo San Lucas.
