Jolly Weldon (above) is shooting for Oct. 30 for the grand opening of Jolly's Dueling Piano Bar (2006 Chestnut St.), which was originally slated for a late September debut.
The brief primer on the concept � as you might've guessed, it involves two pianos and two pianists, both of whom play songs at the whim of an audience in a "Dueling Banjos"-style tete-a-tete. People drink. People sing along. People get pulled on stage. Good clean fun.
Food- and drink-wise, Jolly's will offer happy hour deals from 6 to 8, prior to the show. Aside from the wine and beer lists, signature cocktails will include the Black Widow, a berry mojito; the Sweet Caroline, featuring that ever-popular sweet tea vodka with lemonade; and a 22-ounce Nawlins-style Hurricane.Chef Brendan Smith of nearby *smith's has developed an affordable small-plates menu with eats like sliders, flatbread pizzas, mini crab cakes and shrimp cocktail.
The two house pianists, "Wildman" Joe Marchetti and Anthony "Tony T" DeCarolis, are both Philly natives; they'll perform Tuesdays through Saturdays starting at 8, and we're told they have a repertoire of more than 2,000 songs. We here at Meal Ticket are currently developing a list of tunes with which to stump the dueling duo � so far all we got is "Hoochie Mama" by 2 Live Crew. (LET ME SEE YOU TOUCH THE GROUNDDDD) Please leave other suggestions in the comments.
Dueling instruments always sounds like an entertaining evening out. Best of luck to Jolly�s Dueling Piano Bar.
