Revision as of 00:13, 20 August 2012
The Floating Rib (formerly Jake’s) is the local bar in Port Charles. It is currently owned and run by Coleman Ratcliffe. On March 21, 2012, Coleman agreed to change the name of the bar to "The Floating Rib" after Luke Spencer paid him a substantial amount of money in cash to do so. Luke wanted the name changed because "Jake's" reminded him of his grandson, Jake Spencer, whom he had accidentally killed the year before. Luke renamed the bar "The Floating Rib" after the former restaurant in Port Charles by the same name that was open in the 1980s.
In 2009, Coleman decided to "give the place a little class" and to "appeal to his more upscale clients." He added a piano to Jake's, bought from a pawn shop, and served "an excellent pinot from a California vineyard." Johnny Zacchara promptly sat at the piano and played Chopin.[1]
