The Gobbler, a nominally turkey-shaped building with a rotating bar and numerous owners and business models over the years, may once again reopen as a music venue along Interstate 94 in Johnson Creek.
The Gobbler in Johnson Creek has been idle for the past five years but music and more could return to the building. A group of investors from Florida and Wisconsin plan to buy the 400-seat venue with its rotating bar. The business could open in the coming months.
Dave Ferron, a commercial real estate broker with Cushman & Wakefield Boerke, is seen here in 2022 exploring the signature rotating bar of the Gobbler in Johnson Creek. Constructed in 1969, the former supper club underwent a more than $2.4 million renovation in 2014 to transform the building into a music venue.
A reminder of the hip past of the Gobbler is in the basement, where art deco wallpaper covers the walls of a hallway and purple shag carpeting surrounds a non-working pay phone.
The remodel of the former Gobbler Supper Club added a stage and high-end sound and light systems. The venue drew well-known country acts from around the country, but the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2021 death of owner Dan Manesis forced the business to close.
The sign for the Gobbler in Johnson Creek was empty last week but new life could be coming for the Johnson Creek music venue. A group of investors from Florida and Wisconsin have plans to buy the property and bring music back to the 400-seat venue.
