Jolly's Dueling Piano Bar closes; reopening in new space on Friday
Jolly's Dueling Piano Bar (2006 Chestnut St.) closed Saturday night after roughly a year and a half. Late last night, reps for the piano bar's namesake, Jolly Weldon, shot out a note stating his operation would officially shift over to 1420 Locust Street, the Academy House space that was last Japanese restaurant Sakeya. Weldon's statement attributes the relocation to a need for more room to accommodate the crowds (no formal mention of the legal dispute that became public in November); all of the bar's regular performers will be making the jump, and there are plans to add expanded entertainment, Sunday brunch service and a Sunday-night "supper club." The new spot, which will be known by the slightly augmented moniker Jolly’s Restaurant & Rocking Dueling Piano Bar, will open to the public on Friday, March 25.
