Twisted Martini closing at The Jacksonville Landing

[thelakelander]

Twisted Martini is closing at The Jacksonville Landing on Saturday. The club has posted the announcement on its website.

A spokeswoman for the Landing said the same owners plan to renovate the 7,613-square-foot club and reopen by early fall with a new name and a new theme. She didn't have any more details, and the club's management has not yet responded to phone calls.

Twisted Martini opened in 2005. A second location opened in Ponte Vedra Beach but it closed in 2008.

The only club that I can see going the long haul is Maverick's.

Well its not so much a closing as an update and renovation.

Clubs at a location like the landing have to do this every couple of years.

It kinda like "rebranding" in other words. I feel you

Gotta open the doors prior to FL/GA weekend!

If they make it a Latin salsa place that'd be great - would bring much activity and energy more than any other genre.

Isn't this rather sudden? Why not announce  ahead of time that Sunday was the last night of Twisted Martini and throw a big party? Something is fishy.

[comncense]

Yeah I was wondering why the outside bar wasn't open during Art Walk. I guess they were already in the process of closing shop.

From today's Daily Record.

After five years as one of Downtown’s most popular night spots, The Twisted Martini at the Landing is closed. A source close to the club said the space will undergo a complete rebranding and will reopen, possibly as a “jungle-themed river cafe.”

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Was it broken?  Admittedly I wasn't down there a lot during prime hunting hours, as it were, but the place always seemed hopping whenever I was there.

Is this a rebranding for the sake of rebranding or was it failing?

A jungle themed river cafe??? So, we are down to one nightspot at the landing, and it is a honky tonk joint. Awesome.

Um...huh? Jungle-themed river cafe?

[Captain Zissou]

Hopefully Jungle themed is a poor description.  I hope it is Jaguar themed.  We don't need a Rainforest Cafe at the Landing.

Sounds like a potential disaster waiting to happen.

I just downgraded the Landing, again.
