After years of searching far and wide for a location to follow up the highly successful Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse, owners Hugo Ralli and Steve Lombardo found what they were looking for right under their noses. In February of 1997 they took the space directly next door and launched what has become the finest seafood restaurant in the city, Hugo’s Frog Bar & Fish House.

Contrary to popular belief, the name is not taken from the signature dish comprised of froggy lower halves. “”Frog”” was the nickname Hugo Ralli called his Grandfather, General Bruce Hay of Her Majesty’s Imperial Forces. His portrait keeps watch over the bar bustling with local nightlife and live blues entertainment.
