What is the atmosphere like at the License to Chill Bar?

You will often find comfortable lounge seating, fire pits, and breathtaking views—whether of the Atlantic Ocean, the Great Smoky Mountains, or the Manhattan skyline. It is the perfect spot for a reset.

Strolling in to enjoy a signature frozen concoction is encouraged at every coordinate on our map, except Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, where the 11th-floor License to Chill Bar operates as a private oasis.
