Jimmy Buffett, along with Outrigger Enterprises Group, have unveiled their plans for an exciting, new restaurant in Waikiki, Hawaii. Construction will begin very soon on “Jimmy Buffett’s At The Beachcomber,” with a completion date scheduled for the end of this year.
Ohana Waikiki Beachcomber’s $21 million revitalization momentum continues with Jimmy Buffett’s at the Beachcomber and is slated to open in late 2008. Construction of the $15 million project will start soon. The venue will occupy more than 22,000 square feet with customer seating of 400.
“Our partnership with Jimmy Buffett has made it possible to bring this unique new concept to Waikiki,” said Dean Nakasone, general manager of Ohana Waikiki Beachcomber. “Guests staying at the newly transformed Ohana Waikiki Beachcomber will get to enjoy Jimmy’s island-style magic, making their stayhere even more special.”
Jimmy Buffett’s at the Beachcomber will occupy a prominent location on Kalakaua Avenue above Macy’s in the Ohana Waikiki Beachcomber hotel’s lobby level. The restaurant is a festive celebration of Jimmy’s adventurous lifestyle and the natural wonders of Hawaii. Guests will be able to choose to dine or enjoy their favorite beverage in open air lanais or within one of the extraordinary island atmospheres created throughout the facility.
“From the first time I rode a wave at Canoes on Waikiki I began to figure out how I could get back to Hawaii on a more regular basis to that One Particular Harbour,” said Jimmy Buffett. “I’m not the first nor will I be the last traveler to do so, but now with the partnership of the great folks at Outrigger Hotels, I have realized my dream and we will soon be open in Waikiki. I have had a long love affair with Hawaii and her people. Mark Twain called these ‘the loveliest fleet of islands anchored in any ocean’ and I couldn’t agree more. I have written many stories and songs inspired by my time in Hawaii and can’t wait to see what the future holds in the land that is so far but yet so near. Mahalo.”

Jimmy Buffet and Coral Reefer Band’s performance is always remarkable. No one could deny how Jimmy buffet’s songs, such as Margaritaville, has always attracted people. Jimmy has gained a great number of fans during his music career and I’m no exception. I do love his style so much and I always do the possible to attend his concerts if I see that the ticket price is affordable because in such concerts such as Jimmy’s ticket brokers sky high prices.

It was wonderful meeting you in Waikiki, thanks for making our day and holiday! We really enjoyed your place, (some nights maybe a little too much!) looking forward to our next visit and hopefully a concert if you ever get to British Columbia.
Maholo,
