Diablo Royale Este opens today: features two bars, one screening room and spit-roast pigs in the backyard

Well, I've been following the transformation at 167 Avenue A between 10th Street and 11th Street since last summer...



And, per the sign out front, the joint opens today...




Two bars...an outdoor space...a screening room... Holy 311!
Per the Times today:

DIABLO ROYALE ESTE: At this East Village branch of his Diablo Royale, Jason Hennings will spit-roast pigs, chickens and beef in the backyard. There is an array of tacos, fajitas, enchiladas and such.

    ...isn't this the one David McWater said his friend owned & said that if CB3 didn't approve this, they wouldn't approve anyone ? He's got to go.

    Went by at midnight. The place was a zoo. No bouncer. Just a lot of people and noise. So much for good neighbors.

    Peter, first of all, I said Upper West. Madison is the other side of CP. Second, I am not rent stabilized or a shut in. Although places like this jersey joint prevent me from going out on the more douche-y nights-Thurs-Sat.. Having endured this type of establishment /crowd for the first 20 years of my life I moved here to escape them.
    Your comment only reinforces my gut reaction.
    Yuck.
