“Gene and Paul have proven themselves to be not only just music talent but also in performance art,” Valbuena said.

Lynn Valbuena, chairwoman of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, said the addition of Rock & Brews to the casino is part of efforts to bring “the very best food and entertainment venues in Southern California.” So it’s more than just the restaurant experience. “It’s really much more all-encompassing and enveloping. “I think that beyond the fact that it’s a Rock & Brews and it has that identity, it’s so much more, because you have this state-of-the-art-projection system, you have this stage, you have the casino,” Stanley said. The restaurant will have 19 locations with the opening at San Manuel. There are nine Rock & Brews locations throughout California, with a recent opening in Corona, and one to open later this year in Rancho Cucamonga. More than 1,000 songs - “from Elvis to Nirvana” - will be presented with high definition, state-of-the-art Technomedia special effects, including LED light panels on the ceiling and the walls inside and outside of the restaurant, according to the restaurant. The atmosphere of the 225-seat, 5,500-square-foot restaurant will change with every song played as monitors will display rare and unseen photographs and video footage, according to the restaurant.

Rock & Brews at San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino will feature a stage for live entertainment, in addition to what the restaurateurs promise to be a “multi-sensory rock-and-roll dining entertainment experience like none other.” The restaurant, under construction now near the Bingo Hall on the second floor of the casino, is expected to open sometime in October.

HIGHLAND > Rock legends Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley announced Wednesday the arrival of the “crown jewel” of their Rock & Brews restaurant chain later this year at the San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino in Highland.
