The
Triangle Club has offered continuous service at it's historic
location for over 60 years. In 1947, Joe Thomas, Sr. purchased
the club from Wilbur Burford and Emmett Botelho. Following
in his father's footsteps Joe Thomas, Jr. continued to
perpetuate the Triangle's tradition by offering a warm
friendly haven for sports enthusiasts and a refuge from
the Taku winds. This excellent tradition continues today
under the guidance of Joe Jr's daughter Leeann Thomas.
The Triangle Club still offers the same hospitality today
as it did 2 generations ago, making it one of the truly
unique establishments in downtown Juneau.

The club's diverse clientele has included everybody
from governors to carpetbaggers, making it an inviting "watering
hole" to exchange tall tales and solve the world's problems.
Equally entertaining from the club's vantage point is the "people
traffic" on Front and Franklin Streets, arguably one of
the best places in town to enjoy a drink and a good view.
Located
in the oldest part of Juneau, the actual site of the club was
seaward of the original shoreline and like other structures
of the 1880's was built on pilings.
To commemorate the historic nature of this location
and the Juneau area, the Triangle Club has a collection of over
50 historic photographs inside accompanied with a brochure explaining
the details of each.
So please, stop by the Triangle Club today to learn about Juneau's
past and catch-up on it's future!
