Orange County’s Most Historic Rock Nightclub, the Golden Bear, to Be Reincarnated as Part of Anaheim’s 100-Acre OCVibe Complex (EXCLUSIVE)
The Golden Bear, a club that ruled the Orange County rock scene in the '60s through '80s, will be revived as part of Anaheim's 100-acre OCVibe complex.
Now there are plans to bring the Golden Bear back to life, not as the seaside dive it once was, but as an intimate corner of OCVibe, a 100-acre entertainment and dining complex that is soon to be built in Anaheim on what are now paved parking lots adjacent to the Honda Center. But two other bigger-sized concert venues, which don’t yet have names, will also be opening on the newly developed parcel, creating a rare ecosystem for live music that will encompass everything from the 350-seat Bear to the already existing Honda Center, with two theaters in-between. Some of her favorite memories include Bonnie Raitt and Maria Muldaur sharing a stage, or the club being filled with friends of the Grateful Dead when Jerry Garcia and Merle Sanders would play there, as well as Robin Williams doing a run of shows when his fame was just beginning.
