The club was established by [[Terry Johnson]] in [[1988]] as '''Victor Hugo's'''. The name was changed to Sluggo's in [[1990]]. (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.")
For many years, Sluggo's was located at [[130 South Palafox Street|130 South]] [[Palafox Street]] (at the northeast corner of Palafox and [[Intendencia Street]]s), but were forced to leave the building in [[2000]].
