Coyote Ugly ready to work it at new East Village home

The all-new Coyote Ugly is set to make its grand opening Wednesday at 233 E. 14th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue...
As we first reported this past September, Coyote Ugly permanently closed its home of 27 years at 153 First Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street. In announcing the closure, CEO and founder Lil Lovell had this to say in a video clip: "After sitting closed for six months due to COVID restrictions, we simply can't afford to pay the rent." 

This First Avenue location was the original Coyote Ugly — featuring bartop dancing, body shots and guilt for ordering water. There are now more than two dozen global outposts.

Lovell previously said that the new EV outpost would be "a little bit nicer" with "better bathrooms."

No. 233 was previously home to the Blind Pig, the sports bar/pub, which closed in June 2019.

    Should be pretty easy make this work in a gentrified city full of transplants craving New York of yore brand names.

    A little bit nicer? Weird. Isn't the whole appeal that it's not "nice"?
