One year after opening Cabo Wabo Beach Club inside the Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach, Sammy Hagar, the restauranteur and noted frontman of such aural outfits as Van Halen and Montrose, has softly opened the Sand Bar, a beachside extension of his nearby restaurant.
The Sand Bar, located a stone’s throw from the sand, features a 2,100-square-foot patio with 100 seats, which offers full-service dining. Counter service is also available for to-go meals.

The lil’ surfers menu offers the wee ones a choice of a burger ($10), chicken tenders ($10) or a turkey sandwich ($12).

The new restaurant will offer year-round dining Wednesday through Sunday from noon until sunset. Its official grand opening will be Friday, May 17.
