'''Sluggo's''' is a [[Wikipedia:Veganism|vegan]] café, bar, and music venue, located in [[Brownsville]] at 2403 West [[Cervantes Street]].

==History==
The club was established by [[Terry Johnson]] in 1988as '''Victor Hugo's'''. The name was changed to Sluggo's in March [[1990]], when Nick Flynn joined as a partner. (Sluggo is a character from the [[Wikipedia:Nancy (comic strip)|''Nancy'' comic strip]]. He is a poor boy from the "wrong side of the tracks.")

Originally located at 319 North [[Tarragona Street]] (now the [[HandleBar]]), the club moved to [[Intendencia Street]] in [[1993]] and again to [[130 South Palafox Street|130 South]] [[Palafox Street]] in [[1995]]. It left the Palafox location in June [[2000]], citing rising rent from the building's landlord, who wanted to bring in new businesses, and hostility from the [[Downtown Improvement Board]].<ref>"[http://www.inweekly.net/article.asp?artID=31 Sucker Punch]." ''Independent News'', June 4, 2004.</ref> In [[2002]] Johnson announced plans for a new complex called "The Lost City" at 1602 West [[Garden Street]], a "punk rock mall" of which Sluggo's would be a part,<ref>"Downtown loses one bar, gains old favorite." ''Pensacola News Journal'', January 31, 2002.</ref> but the project fell through.

After being closed for several years, Sluggo's reopened at their current location (site of the old [[Caribbean Market]]) on [[June 7]], [[2004]], with [[Wikipedia:Will Oldham|Will Oldham]] performing.<ref>"Sluggo's reborn in Brownsville - the hippest part of town." ''Pensacola News Journal'', June 1, 2004.</ref>

On [[November 28]], [[2009]], Sluggo's had the grand opening of their second location, "Sluggo's North Vegetarian Cafe" at 501 Cherokee Blvd in Chatanooga, TN.
