Beach Bar status?

Post by Lakeman »

Anyone have any updated news on the Beach Bar reopening? Considering a Nov-Dec trip.

This is what they said as of August 22nd:

Alright Beach Bar Faithful.....After 50 weeks, we are starting Demo in the next few days!!! We don’t have a firm timeline for reopening as of yet, but will begin work in earnest!!

Any word whether the Beach Bar will be ready by Christmas? I’ve seen some pics that show they’re hard at work but no definitive date yet.

Thanks - I saw that but wasn’t sure if that was just a concern on the beach or if the actual bar would be open. And maybe it’s still up in the air.....

They were doing serious demolition over Halloween. With that kind of work you have to anticipate unanticipated delays!

I would be surprised if it was open by March 2019.

March might be the winning guess for an "all in" opening but I am sure they are looking at sometime in February to service/recover as much of the high season as possible.

I can officially report that the Beach Bar is open. It may be just some picnic tables and the bar with limited drinks and no food, but it’s a start. Stopped today on our way back to Coral Bay. Welcome back Beach Bar!!
