Jimmy Buffett’s at the Beachcomber opens early 2009
October 25th, 2008 7:10 am

Jimmy Buffett’s new restaurant at the Beachcomber in Waikiki is
expected to open early in 2009 according to the Ohana Waikiki
Beachcomber. A show at the Waikiki Beach Shell in Honolulu is rumored
to take place in February 2009.

It’s taking $15 million to build out 22,000 square feet for the new
400-seat Jimmy Buffett’s at the Beachcomber. And it will be every bit
an adventure in paradise.

Simulated sunsets and rolling surf. The Hot Spot Bar where action will
surely be volcanic. Ocean Waves Dining Booths for the North Shore
vibe. You’ll enjoy music from up-and-coming local talent and food
that’s not too complicated but full of flavor: fresh seafood, juicy
burgers and casual island favorites. Cocktails will find tropical
inspiration, too, with boat drinks, ice-cold brews and of course,
signature margaritas.
