Key West Margaritaville Escapes Damage From Nearby Fire

March 10th, 2009


A fire broke out Sunday evening on Duval Street in Key West, Florida but Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Cafe escaped damage and reopened Monday afternoon:

Key West’s historic Duval Street reopened Monday morning after a fire swept through a building housing three well-known businesses and temporarily shut down other popular spots on the island city’s main street.

The fire, which started at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday and was contained by 1 a.m. Monday, wiped out a crepe shop, an art gallery and a sign shop. Two firefighters suffered minor injuries, city spokeswoman Alyson Crean said.

The fire department was working Monday to determine the cause of the blaze, Crean said.

Singer Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville restaurant and store was one of the businesses initially shut down, halting late-night festivities at the popular watering hole in mid-pour.

“I was hoping to go back in, finish off my shift and clean up, but they wouldn’t let us back in,” said waitress Patricija Hambrook. “It became bigger than we thought.

“We couldn’t close out checks, and the drinks we made were never served.”

Margaritaville’s restaurant reopened Monday afternoon, and its adjacent retail store reopened a few hours later, the fire department said.

Buffett ends Hawaii run with show in Honolulu

March 1st, 2009


Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band played their last show in Hawaii for the tour on Saturday night at the The Shell in Honolulu, Hawaii. The show did not air on Radio Margaritaville, but was recorded and should be replayed at a later date.

The 26-song set was similar to the first two set lists in Hawaii but this time “Stars on the Water” replaced “I Will Play for Gumbo” and “Lover of Mine” moved up into the main set between “Southern Cross” and “Margaritaville.” The biggest surprise of the night came during the second set as Jimmy premiered another new song, “I Feel Like Goin’ Surfing in a Hurricane.”

View the entire set list and the set lists from the previous two Hawaii shows here.

Buffett and the band will be off until April 16 when the Summerzcool tour starts in Atlanta. There’s still time to Get your Tickets for the first show of the tour!
