hagar, already a successful rock musician, first visited the mexican town of cabo san lucas in the early 1980s, before joining van halen in july 1985 after the departure of their founding singer, david lee roth. seeking a place for himself and his friends to relax and play music, he convinced the van halen members to partner in opening a large bar, restaurant, and performance space. launched in april 1990, the cantina was initially a financial failure, leading hagar to buy out his bandmates. under new management, the bar became popular with both locals and tourists as the town quickly grew into a major resort. in 2004, after plans fell through to open in las vegas, hagar opened a second location in the basement of the historic harvey's casino on the south shore of lake tahoe. a third location was opened in fresno, california in 2008, but had its license pulled by hagar at the beginning of 2009. cabo wabo las vegas opened in the miracle mile shopping center at planet hollywood in november 2009. the club typically attracts an older adult clientele with its mostly rock music selection.
