From Cleveland.com “First look: Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville set to open in Cleveland Flats”

There was no wasting away in Margaritaville. There were floors to buff, tables to move and, of course, fishing rods to hang and a boat to set sail.

Adding to the urgency of the workers bustling about Jimmy Buffett-themed venue was a deadline. Margaritaville will open to the public on July 3 in the Cleveland Flats. A grand opening will take place on July 11.

The menu echoes that theme with entrées such as beach tacos, jambalaya, fried chicken and steaks with tropical elixirs and, of course, a wide range of margaritas. And, yes, it will also serve the “Cheeseburger in Paradise” – Margaritaville’s signature burger named after Buffett’s 1978 hit.

The 23,000-square-foot Margaritaville boasts seating for 498 (153 outside seats and 345 indoors).

Margaritaville Restaurant Cleveland will officially open its doors on June 27.

Jimmy Buffett’s restaurant and bar will be located in the Flats East Bank.

In preparation for its opening, the business will host a hiring event May 22-May 24. Open interviews will be held at the ALOFT Cleveland Hotel at 1111 West 10th Street in Cleveland from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Potential interviewees should visit margaritavillecleveland.com to apply.

The countdown is on to 5 o’Clock as Universal CityWalk toasts the arrival of Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville restaurant to the destination—the first-ever in California—with an exclusive performance by singer, songwriter and best-selling author Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band on Thursday, March 30.

Fans can enter to win tickets to Buffett’s invite-only performance on the Margaritaville stage at www.citywalkhollywood.com/margaritavillesweeps.

Margaritaville is more than a restaurant, it’s a state of mind as the spirited new venue brings a seaside retreat to Universal CityWalk that continues to resonate as one of L.A.’s most influential lifestyle centers. Margaritaville is now open, serving lunch and dinner.

Margaritaville at Universal CityWalk Hollywood invites guests to escape the everyday as they dine in a casual environment amid palm trees, thatched enclaves, island music and surfboard tables and enjoy hand-crafted cocktails, live music and entertainment and signature dishes such as LandShark Lager Fish & Chips, Jimmy’s Jammin’ Jambalaya ®, Volcano Nachos or a Cheeseburger in Paradise ®.

From Cleveland 19 News: “Construction starts at Margaritaville in the Flats”

Construction has begun at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville in the Flats. No set date has been announced for the opening of the restaurant, but it is set to open in the summer of 2017.

The announcement of Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville coming to the Flats East Bank was made on Cinco De Mayo in 2016.

Now, we’re getting our first glimpse of image renderings that reveal more about the restaurant’s design:

• Outdoor seating area and lower-level "5 O'clock Somewhere Bar" with several flat-screen TVs.
• Lakeview rooftop "Landshark Bar" with signage boasting “Beach party day and night!”
• Attached Margaritaville store.
• Main entrance showcases classic Margaritaville sign featuring palm trees, sunset and parrot.
• Shark fin neon lights mounted to steel structure above main entrance and lower-level outdoor seating area.
• 7’ palm trees in concrete pots flank both sides of entrance.
• Signage celebrating the “5 o’clock somewhere” ideology is scattered throughout.
• A stage for live music is expected inside.

Margaritaville’s signature restaurant chain will soon push into California for the first time opening at the CityWalk in Universal Studios Hollywood.

Construction is coming along as crews continue to speed towards the grand opening. The sign has been hung and much of the restaurant’s signature neon light fixtures have been installed.
