Contest: Find a New Name for Jolly's Dueling Piano Bar
Have you ever wanted to name a Philadelphia bar? Your wordplay genius could score you and your friends a lot of free drinks. Currently known as Jolly’s Dueling Piano Bar, the lounge at 1420 Locust needs a new moniker (it’s no longer owned or associated with “Jolly,” so the change makes sense). The Academy House drinkery is the only place in Center City that features two baby grand pianos facing off with live music every Wednesday–Saturday night, so it deserves a unique title.
There have already been a series of entries, but none has had that special ring, so head over to the venue’s Facebook page, and submit your best try. If your name is chosen, you’ll not only have the honor of knowing you helped create an icon on the Philly drinking scene, you’ll win a whole series of personal happy hours for your office or group of friends. Happy naming!
