HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. — The first location of Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville restaurant has opened its doors at Universal CityWalk.
The more than 20-year-old Universal CityWalk, located in Hollywood, recently invested in an extensive revitalization. Enhancements currently underway include new restaurants, shopping experiences and design features to its multi-million dollar Universal Cinema renovation. This undertaking coincides with Universal Studios Hollywood’s recent transformation in which 75 percent of the theme park was reimagined.
Margaritaville launched its first restaurant location in Key West, Fla., in 1987. Today, the company features nine resorts/hotels across the Southeast and Caribbean and eight additional locations in development; four gaming locations; and more than 60 food and beverage locations including concepts such as Margaritaville Restaurant, JWB Prime Steak and Seafood, 5 o’Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill and LandShark Bar & Grill, among others.
