The spotlight will go out on Canes next month. The music venue that has been on the Mission Beach boardwalk for 13 years will close its doors Nov. 2. The club, the ground floor restaurant and the rooftop deck will close. “Our lease is expiring. I tried to do everything in my power to stay there,” said Canes owner Eric Leitstein. “We don’t have any options on our lease.” In its time on Ocean Front Walk, Canes has hosted thousands of concerts of all different genres. Acts ranging from Linkin Park to the Black Eyed Peas to John Mayer have all performed there. “We tried not to pigeonhole ourselves with a specific genre of music,” Leitstein said. “We’ve done so many things, from punk to reggae to hip-hop to classic rock.” Leitstein listed a Snoop Dogg concert as one of his finest memories at the venue. “The night we had Snoop perform onstage, it was a bit surreal to me because we used to listen to Snoop at after parties, and the next thing you know, five years later, I had him onstage at my venue,” Leitstein said. Canes is holding an industry farewell party on Oct. 27 and Leitstein said everyone is invited. There will be a buffet, deejay and a surprise guest band. “It’s going to be an opportunity for anyone that’s ever worked at the venue or that’s been there and had a positive experience and wants to come back before we close,” Leitstein said. Employees will say one last goodbye to Canes on Nov. 1. “That Sunday will be the last sunset,” Leitstein said. “We’re keeping that as invitation to anybody that’s worked there to come up and have a cocktail on the deck to watch the last sunset at Canes.” Leitstein does not have any immediate plans for reopening at a different location. He also owns PB Ale House and is a partner in the Sandbar. “There’s some opportunities out there, but I’m going to wait for the dust to settle a little bit and figure out what our best location will be,” Leitstein said. “It’s going to be hard to trump a location like we’ve had for the past 13 years.” As for the current location, Wave House founder Tom Lochtefeld owns the property and reportedly intends to use the building to expand the Wave House.
