You can soon get wasted away at Margaritaville. The restaurant/bar, on the third floor of Destiny USA, has set an opening date.

A ribbon cutting is planned for February 2nd. Margaritaville's CEO John Cohlan will even be in town to do the honors.

Rumors of the Jimmy Buffet inspired bar coming to Syracuse began last summer. They weren't confirmed until October, with promises to open in early 2015. It looks like those promises will be kept.

A hiring event took place at the beginning of January to fill over 200 positions, along with a search for entertainment.

The 12,000 square feet of dining and entertainment space will have a '5 o’clock Somewhere Bar.

You can drift away to your favorite island destination with signature margaritas, hand-crafted beverages, coastal-inspired food and lively entertainment. There will also be a live performance stage.

You can also take the islands home with you from the Margaritaville store.

I'm looking forward to a Cheeseburger in Paradise with a margarita to wash it down. I may even nibble on spongecake, if they have it.
