This location had its grand opening February 22nd, 2024.

The 298-seat indoor-outdoor restaurant and bar was operated by Tampa-based 23 Restaurant Services, which purchased the rights to Don the Beachcomber in 2022. The hospitality group also operates Ford’s Garage, Yeoman’s, and Tiki Docks.

The Madeira Beach location was the first of many, according to 23 Restaurant Services, and they hope to re-launch this iconic brand with 10-15 of the tiki-themed restaurants across the Southeastern United States over the next several years.

Hurricane Helene caused extensive flooding damage to the property in September of 2024 and it shut its doors, presumably temporarily.

However, in January 0f 2025 it was announced that they would not reopen and instead would be converted into parent company 23 Restaurant Group’s Tiki Docks concept. Creative director Justin Peterson and beverage director Marie King said that all efforts (and much of the decor) would be directed toward the planned Don the Beachcomber in Hamlin, near Orlando, estimated to be opening in mid to late 2026. (Since then, the Don's Hamlin location has been re-planned as a small 23 seat speakeasy concept attached to yet another Tiki Docks restaurant).

This Madeira Beach location became a Tiki Docks as of June 23rd, 2025. However, the Tiki Docks did not last long either, and the location closed September 9, 2025, abruptly, and less than three months after its June 23 grand opening.
