Owned by Sammy Hagar (formerly of Van Halen) and his Mexican and American partners, this "cantina" packs in youthful crowds, especially when rumors (frequent, and frequently false, just to draw a crowd) fly that a surprise appearance by a vacationing musician is imminent. One of Cabo's few air-conditioned dance venues, it's especially popular in the summer months. When there isn't a live band, a very loud dance club-type sound system plays mostly rock and some alternative and techno. Overstuffed furniture frames the dance floor. Beer goes for $4, margaritas for $6. For snacks, the Taco Wabo, just outside the club's entrance, stays up late, too. The cantina is open daily from 11am to 4am.
Hey that guy is doing the Cabo Wobble! -- Before the Cabo Wabo Cantina became a legend, its founder (and former Van Halen guitarist), Sammy Hagar, had to come up with a name. The story goes that as Hagar was driving into town he noticed a local "staggering" and "bashing about." He exclaimed "Hey that guy is doing the Cabo Wobble!" and the term Cabo Wabo was born. Visitors can still witness the famous "Cabo Wobble," especially around spring break.
