Jimmy Buffett’s latest restaurant opens today in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Inspired by the great “beach joints” that once dotted the Atlantic coast, LandShark Bar & Grill is the perfect blend of ocean breezes, boardwalk action, spectacular views, great food, generous drinks, your favorite beach tunes and good old fashion fun. The LandShark Surfshack (which opened earlier this week) offers an array of merchandise themed around the popular beer brand, LandShark Lager, as well as a selection of Sky Wheel souvenirs. LandShark’s laid back atmosphere, casual dining, bar and entertainment will soon be a favorite with both tourists and the Grand Strand’s local residents.

“We love Myrtle Beach and are thrilled to bring our new concept LandShark Bar and Grill to this exciting project,” said Tamara Baldanza, Director of Marketing for Margaritaville Hospitality Group. “The beach location will be the perfect spot to take a ride on the new SkyWheel, grab a bite to eat, listen to some music and hang out for a while.”

The restaurant opens after a ribbon cutting at 10 am.

While the Landshark Bar & Grill won’t open until Friday, the Landshark Surfshack retail shop has opened its doors in Myrtle Beach:

The LandShark Surfshack, part of the $12 million trio of attractions coming to Myrtle Beach that includes the SkyWheel and Jimmy Buffett’s LandShark Bar & Grill, opened late Tuesday, said Julie Foshage, the SkyWheel’s marketing director.

The store sells merchandise for the SkyWheel and items themed around the LandShark Lager beer brand.

The store will be open until 10 p.m. today, then open at 10 a.m. Thursday. It will close early Thursday for a 7 p.m. VIP event.

The Landshark Bar & Grill restaurant will open on Friday, after a 10 am ribbon-cutting ceremony. Also opening that day is the SkyWheel attraction.

Jiffy Lube Live (formerly Nissan Pavilion) appears to be serious about no tailgating this year:

Spokespeople for Jiffy Lube and its owner Live Nation didn’t return phones and emails late this week. But Prince William County police confirm that the Bristow concert venue is cracking down on partying in the parking lot. No pop-up tents, no portable grills and absolutely no alcohol.

There has always been a rule against drinking in the parking lot. But now the outdoor amphitheater is adopting a “no tolerance” policy when it comes to drinking and tailgating.

Fans buying tickets for shows this season were surprised to see “No Tailgating” stamped on their stubs. On its Facebook page, Jiffy Lube Live writes that safety, and abiding by Virginia’s law banning public alcohol consumption, prompted the change.

“The safety of the fans is of paramount importance and we have an ongoing commitment to work with the local police department on all shows to ensure a safe environment for all of our fans. As part of this commitment, it has been determined that it is in the best interest of the fans and their overall experience at the venue to not allow tailgating.”

Fans, particularly “Parrotheads” who flock to Jimmy Buffett shows, have flooded Jiffy Lube Live’s Facebook page with complaints. They’ve even started a Facebook page of their own called “Boycott Jiffy Lube Live Tailgating Policy.”
