The new restaurant will be in Cabo San Lucas on the waterfront in the Marina, adding to the first Rock & Brews in Los Cabos, which opened in 2013 in San Jose del Cabo.
"Our restaurant in San Jose del Cabo was severely damaged by the hurricane, and we are excited to join the persevering people of Los Cabos in their Los Cabos Unstoppable efforts to rebuild and recover following the hurricane," Stanley said in a statement. "Los Cabos is a spectacular destination and we look forward to welcoming local residents and visitors to both of our restaurants there for many years to come."Stanley and Simmons have partnered with restaurateurs Rodrigo Cabeza De Vaca and Jose Arredondo to open Rock & Brews Cabo San Lucas in December. A grand opening event hosted by the rock legends is set for December 5th, with about 400 KISS fans expected to attend.
The official host hotel for the event is the Sheraton Hacienda del Mar Golf & Spa Resort, which reopened last week after repairing from hurricane damages. The Sheraton is offering a special KISS Army package that includes tickets to the Rock & Brews grand opening event and a private meet and greet with Stanley and Simmons at the resort.
The new Rock & Brews Cabo San Lucas will feature a rock-inspired atmosphere, including hand-painted murals of rock artists, album and tour art as well as the brand's signature "Great Wall of Rock."
