Welcome to Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill at Charlotte Douglas International Airport

Feel the laid-back beach vibes and the soul of rock & roll at Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill, the all-new full-service restaurant by Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar, now open in Concourse D at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT).

This vibrant, 2,300-square-foot restaurant brings Baja-inspired eats, refreshing cocktails, and Red Rocker energy straight to your gate. Whether you’re craving breakfast before takeoff or looking to unwind with a margarita during a layover, Sammy’s is just the place.

Fuel up on crowd favorites like beach nachos, Baja-style tacos, Sammy’s signature breakfast burrito, or the BBQ “Sam Wiches.” Behind the bar, you’ll find award-winning Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum, Santo Tequila, Red Rocker Lager, and a lineup of bold, handcrafted cocktails that’ll get you in a vacation state of mind.

Designed with coastal vibes and music memorabilia, Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill is more than a meal—it’s an experience. Every visit gives back, with Hagar’s personal net proceeds supporting local Charlotte nonprofits through the Hagar Family Foundation.

With locations at major airports across the country, Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill has become the go-to airport dining destination for travelers looking for great food, legendary drinks, and good vibes. Now, travelers through CLT can join the party—whether it’s 5 a.m. or 11 p.m.

Baja flavors. Rock & roll spirit. A purpose-driven mission.

Welcome to Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill – Charlotte. Let the good times roll.

Local organizations who have received support from this Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill location: Levine Children’s Hospital and Hope Street Food Pantry.

A post shared by Sammy Hagar (@sammyhagar)

I had the honor of hosting the 21st annual OK Kids Korral event, and before one auction item was sold, we raised $150,000.
I opened the night with a $10K donation from the Hagar Family Foundation and asked the sold-out crowd, “Anybody out there wanna match that to get this party started?”

The first hand went up offering $25K, then Trish Keith (Toby’s amazing wife) jumped in with another $25K… and it took off from there.

I had an absolute blast and would do it again in a heartbeat. Toby would’ve done that and more for me any day. In fact, back in 2017 while filming Rock & Roll Road Trip, he took me to the OK Kids Corral. I was so inspired, I pledged my support on the spot.

When Trish asked me to host and perform this year, there was no question. I dropped everything to be there. It was a beautiful, heart-and-soul kind of night—and his family knows I’m all in.

We raised over $1 million and that’s gonna help a lot of families staying at the kids korral.
Let’s keep this thing going forever. For Toby. For the kids. 💛🎶

Hello Redheads! It’s been a long time coming, but we have launched a brand new web site that’s modern and also (finally!) optimized to work well on mobile.

One thing you may notice is that we do no longer have user accounts – this is because over the last 10 years, the majority of fan discussions have moved to social media. The old site will remain online for a while at http://archive.redrocker.com/ since we want to take some time to consider what to do with the archives of community photos, videos, and blogs.

We welcome your comments and thoughts to [email protected], esp if you see anything missing or broken!
