Closed down a while back. The ownrts reopened it as Emerald Beach. Trying to keep up with the NB's traditions they are/will be continuing with special events etc. Let's hope they make it. I used to like going there.

How long ago did it close? Must not have been long ago right?

I believe Nikki Beach closed in November of last year. It lasted about 1 year which was 6 months longer than I expected it to last. It was a champagne location in a beer budget town. Sir Richard Branson wasn't around enough to keep them open.

At the time, I've heard that they were moving to Punta Cana, but do t know if they actually did. Emerald Club open on its place by the Dominican partners of Nikki beach. Good food, terrible service and very expensive.

considered trying emerald tonight but not a single client dining tonight at 9pm
too many tables to feel comfortable/cozy being only two clients

lax and la casita de papi's were full (beach tables anyway)
otherwise slow night for all other beach restaurants

Tells me they will likely not be open as long as Nikki Beach was open. Nikki Beach had a profitable corporate structure to feed money to the business here. A private ownership will not necessarily have those resources. It sounds like the current owner did not learn that having a champagne budget restaurant in a beer budget town does not work.

Surprised that LAX was full. Their food and service has gone down the drain.

its always Lax and Papi's.
The latter i can understand as the food is pretty good and the ambience too. Lax never draws me in though...too much red; like eating in a butcher's :-0

Nikki Beach was started by Jack Penrod! If you remember Ft. Lauderdale 1985 to 1987 Spring Break, you'd know "Penrod's On The Beach"... I was there, and juiced right through it while working as a guitar man... those where the days... also spent time gigging upstairs at the Elbo Room which Penrod's also still own...
