Be a Goldfish?

Fishbowl at The Banks, a casual, modern, energetic tropical bar and party spot, has expanded by more than 1,000 square feet. The bigger location officially opened Thursday, Aug. 5, kicking off a schedule of live music, seven days a week, for the remainder of the summer.

Fishbowl’s Expansion Kickoff Celebration will also feature the debut of a special new Fishbowl drink, the Ocean Vive, perfect for these sultry August nights.

“We can’t wait for you to visit our bigger Fishbowl with more entertainment, sound, lights, TVs and Fishbowls,” said Fishbowl owner Danny Scott. “So many improvements are happening at The Banks, including the beautiful new pedestrian walkway and the DORA District. This celebration is a thank you to the many guests who stuck with us through the pandemic – and a welcome to those who have yet to enjoy Fishbowl at The Banks.”

Fishbowl at the Banks expanded into its adjacent location, 151 East Freedom Way, formerly occupied by Tervis. Construction began in February of 2021. Fishbowl at the Banks originally opened in October of 2019, just months before eatery and pub restrictions were put in place due to the pandemic.

The 85-acre Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) District at The Banks allows guests to take their beverage and explore public plazas and green spaces at The Banks. Drinks must be in an official DORA Cup and purchased from one of the 18 establishments at The Banks. The DORA District at The Banks is open 11 a.m.–1 a.m., daily.
