‘Cheeseburger in Margaritaville’
Maybe we were chasing a beach vibe despite temperatures stuck in the teens yestedray. We ended up at our neighborhood spot, Babygold, for $5 burger night and a screening of the 1986 Jimmy Buffett film "Live From the Bay," featuring footage from two of his 1985 concerts. The evening was advertised as "Cheeseburgers in Margaritaville."
Imagine our surprise when a server gave us each a margarita ... which we didn't order. They were the "special" drink for the night ($8 each) and we thought maybe they weren't selling a lot so they were giving them out free to the customers they could tell were there to see the movie. A parrot head freebie lol. Our waitress, though, crushed all of those fuzzy feelings when she said she didn't charge us for them because they were intended for a table across the way and were misdelivered. Their loss, our gain, I guess.
This was my view, scrunching down in my seat. Most of the time, there was a family of four sitting there so I could only see around them.
We're not sure if they painted the walls since we were there last, but they did redecorate. There are clocks everywhere, a few musical instruments hanging up, a Roosevelt Road street sign that looks old (whether it's from the area, I don't know) and weird stained glass lamps that resemble 1980s Pizza Huts.
