Why do I think it's 10:00 week days
12:00 weekends?

Always 10pm without a special events permit.

Heard the transition to AJ's got pushed out by a month. Permits. Knowing the way things move here, I wouldn't be surprised if there are more delays in store.

Thanks - I saw Boukou Groove was playing Pandora's Friday so wondered what was up.

So, are you guys saying Pandora's is still open and will be for a little while longer?

Local musicians are talking about playing there Saturday, but tried to eat there last night and it was closed. Anyone know what the latest is?

They close on Tuesdays after Labor Day weekend. They are still open for business...except on Mondays and Tuesday's.

Here's the scoop:
AJ's is coming to Grayton

A lot of us will miss the outside bar.

AJ's owner Alan Laird, who also owns Pandora's restaurant in Grayton Beach, decided that restaurant needed a facelift. Pandora's will close at the end of the month for an inside and outside remodel. When the restaurant reopens next year, the business will reopen as AJ's at Grayton Beach.

"Pandora's is a little outdated and it is time for a change," said Brandon Montalto, the manager at Pandora's who will continue to run AJ's on 30A.

Laird said he was on 30A before it was cool and originally opened a restaurant at the Pandora location in 1991 after opening his Destin location in 1984.

"There was nothing out here but yuppies back then," he said. "No kids then, but things have changed, and now that I'm older I see their side. Twenty-five years later, there are kids everywhere. I've never seen so many bikes in my life."

...

Plans are to reopen Jan. 5 for dinner.

Any idea when?? Hope AJ's does Major remodeling. Depressing in there now as are a lot of area restaurants.
