Margaritaville 25th Anniversary Specials

09.29.2010

Join us in celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Margaritaville!

We're celebrating 25 years of Margaritaville, which began in 1985 in Key West, Florida with some not-so-secret specials through December 31, 2010! The "Not Too Particular, Not Too Precise" cheeseburger, a "1985" Margarita and 25% off the 25th Anniversary Tee are all available by request only at select locations.

You won't see these on the menu, so the only way to get these specials is to ask for them by name!

Not too Particular Not too Precise Cheeseburger A special Cheeseburger in Paradise for sure. A handmade patty of 100% fresh ground chuck, cooked to order with Margaritaville Seasoning Salt topped with American cheese, red onion, lettuce and tomato (Heinz 57 available on the side) on a toasted bun. Served with French fried potatoes and big kosher pickle. A cold draft LandShark beer is optional, if you’re old enough! Cheeseburger is paradise. Heaven on earth with an onion slice. Not too particular, not too precise. I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise.
1985 Margarita A timeless classic! 12 oz. margarita made with Margaritaville Gold and Silver Tequila, Gran Gala, Cointreau, simple syrup, and fresh lime juice. Served with salted rim, and a lime.
25th Anniversary T-Shirt Mention the 25th Anniversary Tee secret sale to get 25% off the 25th Anniversary Tee at participating venues. The black vintage concert tee features three Polaroid pictures of a concert crowd during "Fins" and has a list of Margaritaville restaurants with their corresponding opening year on back.

25th Anniversary specials are valid at these locations:

Jimmy Buffett & Friends Live From The Gulf Coast

06.28.2010

Gulf Shores Benefit Concert Postponed Until July 11th

Due to concerns about surf conditions on the Alabama beach where the concert was scheduled to take place, the Jimmy Buffett and Friends benefit concert scheduled for this Thursday has been postponed until Sunday, July 11th.

“Nobody hates this more than I do but I guess, as the song says, it’s hard to reason with hurricane season,” Jimmy said. “For those going anyway, thank you. My sister Lulu will take good care of you. For the rest of you, we will see you July 11th!”

06.22.2010

Jimmy Buffett New CD - Buffet Hotel Coming Dec. 8

11.13.09 Buffet Hotel will be available December 8th! A brand new studio album, named for an old colonial era train station/hotel Jimmy ran across in Timbuktu, Mali during a trip to the "Festival In The Desert," will feature Summerzcool, A Lot To Drink About, Surfing In a Hurricane and 9 other new songs! The title track has a strong West African influence and was conceived during that same trip to Mali for the music festival. "It was one of the best musical experiences of my life," said Jimmy. The Buffet Hotel was the venue for the music scene that exploded in Mali after its independence in 1960. In addition to the Coral Reefer Band, the album also includes guest artists Sonny Landreth, Jake Shimabukuro, Cedric Burnside, Steve "Lightnin'" Malcome and Toumani Diabate. Produced by Mike Utley and Mac McAnally, the release also features a 24-page booklet with lyrics, stories behind the song, and how Jimmy went to West Africa looking for stories, and returned with an album. "...Stories are still the things good songs are made of," said Jimmy. Buffet Hotel is available for pre-order at MailboatRecords.com, and will be available everywhere on December 8th!

12.08.09 Reviews and articles about Buffet Hotel Miami Herald: "A Jimmy Buffett fan we know heard that the singer's new CD is good, but he needed convincing. "Is it good like License to Chill [2004] was good," he sniffed, "or is it GOOD like ['70s classics] A1A, Havana Daydreaming, Son of a Son of a Sailor?" Rest assured, Parrotheads. Buffet Hotel -- out Tuesday and inspired by a trip the 62-year-old Buffett took to Timbuktu, Mali, for a music festival and a sign he saw in a train station for the Le Buffet Hotel -- ranks among his best work." Read the rest of the review here! USA Today Buffet Hotel is his first studio album in three years. He fell in love with the Buffet Hotel de la Gare, a train station in a beautiful old building in Bamako, Mali, in West Africa, in 2007. The colorful place was where the music scene flourished in Mali after its independence in 1960. "It's like visiting the Opry of Africa." While there for the annual Festival In the Desert music event near Timbuktu, Jimmy wound up jamming at the hotel and other clubs until the wee hours. "It was 36 hours of one of the best musical runs of my life and thus left a pretty interesting impression." You can see a behind-the-scenes slideshow at Margaritaville.com. And for those diehard Parrotheads, don't worry, you might hear some of the blues influence of the Africa trip on Buffet Hotel, but the album has plenty of classic Buffett songs, including Summerzcool, which Jimmy played at his concerts all summer long.
