Jolly's Dueling Piano Bar (2006 Chestnut St.), which Meal Ticket has been following for a few months now, opens to the public this coming Friday, Oct. 30 (a World Series off day) at 3 p.m. Here's a peek inside Jolly Weldon's new 125-seat space, the centerpiece of which will be two baby grands (not pictured) that'll double as battle stations for pianists Anthony "Tony T" DeCarolis and "Wildman Joe" Marchetti (more on concept here). On Friday, the music, which'll normally run Tuesday to Saturday from 8 p.m. on, will begin early, at 6; Jolly's first day will also see the unveiling of their happy hour (6-8 p.m.), which'll feature $3 cocktails, $3 wine/beer and $3 eats (sliders, flatbread pizzas, hummus, guac, etc.).
After the jump, more interior pics, a few looks at the food and the opening menu/drink list.
