The Panama City Margaritaville will close for a week for minor renovations on November 9th:

Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville restaurant, located at Pier Park, will temporarily close Nov. 9 for minor cosmetic improvements, according to a news release.

During the temporary closure, the restaurant will be refinishing its floors and installing a more energy efficient air conditioning unit.

Margaritaville staff members will be on site during regular business hours to answer any questions. The restaurant will reopen Nov. 16.

The 2008 Year Of Still Here Tour came to an end Saturday night with the second of two shows from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The set list was largely unchanged from other recent shows, but Buffett did debut a cover of Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers.” It was the first known time that Jimmy has performed this song live.
