HMSHost, part of Avolta, the leading global travel retail and F&B player, has announced the expansion of its successful partnership with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar with the opening of its newest Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill restaurant at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), where travelers now have an opportunity to experience Sammy’s favorite things -  great food and music - in a casual, full-service restaurant that seamlessly blends rock-and-roll vibes with a laid-back beach environment. The opening marks the fifth Beach Bar restaurant for the singer, songwriter, guitarist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist in collaboration with HMSHost.

“Bringing my Beach Bar & Grill to Charlotte is all about sharing good times, great food, and music with travelers,” said Hagar. “This isn’t just a place to grab a bite, it’s a place to kick back, enjoy a killer cocktail, and soak in some island and rock-and-roll vibes. I’m especially proud that through the Hagar Family Foundation, we’re also able to give back to the Charlotte community, like we do at all of our locations.”

“Sammy’s positive energy is apparent in every aspect of his Beach Bar & Grill, which will bring a fun and exciting vibe to those embarking on flights to the Caribbean who want to get a head start on enjoying the relaxation and island life,” said Stephen Douglas, Vice President of Business Development, HMSHost. “We’ve had a wonderful partnership with Sammy and Charlotte Douglas International Airport for many years, and are very happy to have had this opportunity to collaborate on a dining venue that will undoubtedly make the traveler’s journey through CLT happier.”
