SAMMY HAGAR To Open Cabo Wabo Cantina In Fresno

April 19, 2007

Bethany Clough of The Fresno Bee reports:

A Cabo Wabo Cantina — the music, food and tequila joint started by rocker Sammy Hagar — is scheduled to open in Fresno.

Milt Barbis, president of The Village at Granite Park, announced Tuesday (April 17) that the restaurant and nightclub will open this fall in the complex of ball fields — that is also to include future offices, restaurants and retailers — near Ashlan and Cedar avenues.

He said a company affiliated with Hagar has signed a lease. Public-relations firm Ketchum Entertainment Marketing, which represents Hagar's tequila business, confirmed that Cabo Wabo will open in Fresno.

Hagar, a former VAN HALEN frontman and longtime solo musician, opened the first Cabo Wabo in 1990 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, a resort town at the tip of Baja. His Cabo Wabo Tequila business took off shortly afterward.

A song called "Cabo Wabo" appeared on VAN HALEN's 1988 release, "OU812".
