Don’t be fooled by the trophy moose heads in the window at the now vacant space at Manchester and Sutton.
The corner that’s been a piano bar, a burlesque/variety show and a pizza/ribs place in the past five years is set to be the new home for Jukebox Piano Bar — run by two of the former owners of Jive and Wail, which closed there in 2010.

The moose heads are remnants of the recent attempt to open a dinner theater there with a rustic Alaska theme. Jukebox Piano Bar general manager, Andrew Graefe, said they didn’t know what to do with the heads, so for now they’re on display.
Update: the moose heads are gone from the windows.
Greafe was pulling birch bark wood off the bar Wednesday evening. He said they hope to open in about a month.
Has this opened yet?
Yes – a couple weeks ago. http://bit.ly/1lybcDt
Might be an opportunity for someone to re-use the Alaska themed leftovers. I saw that moose head in the window and was surprised that who-ever originally purchased that would have left it behind.
We’ll take those off their hands if they don’t want them. 🙂
So excited for this place.
