It's always 5 O’Clock somewhere but March 30 at 5pm PST, Universal CityWalk toasted the official arrival of Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville 
 restaurant to its destination marking the occasion with an exciting
performance by singer, songwriter and best-selling author, Jimmy Buffett
 and the Coral Reefer Band.

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.


Jimmy Buffett said, “I walked onto the site of CityWalk when it was still under construction, and 
 my first thought was ‘I want a Margaritaville here.’  Thanks to the
great folks at Universal, we made it.  It’s great to play at the
opening  and I look forward to visiting regularly on my journeys to the
West Coast.  Fins Up!” 

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 ®.

The venue’s expansive 5 O’Clock 
 Somewhere Bar located at the center of the restaurant offers a
selection of refreshing specialty drinks, including the Who’s to Blame®
Margarita or the 5 O’Clock Somewhere boat drink.
