Lions for Lula at 132 St. 1st Ave.

The Lions Bar & Grill is slated to open this month at 132 First Ave. on the SE corner of St. Mark's Place.

The folks at Endless Hospitality Group (The Wayland, Goodnight Sonny, Madeline's Martini, etc.) are behind this straightforward concept with food from Chef/partner Luigi Petrocelli. 

Per the EVG inbox: 
The Lions is a back-to-basics American bar and grill. We serve classic cocktails, frosty mugs of beer, and all-night food centered around a house-ground burger, a fun and thoughtful bar menu, and weekly specials. 
More details to follow. 

The Lions takes over the space from Endless Hospitality Group's Bar Lula, which had a two-plus year run here and closed after service on New Year's Eve.

I am trying to wrap my head around a "fun and thoughtful" bar menu. I guess I'll be surprised -- or not -- when I swing by for a "frosty" (do they mean frothy or are they really frosted?) mug.

beer mugs can indeed be frosty. I can't believe I had to say that.

Back in the 80s and 90s, there was a Dugout Tavern on lower 3rd avenue that promoted its "frozen mugs." Beer can indeed be both frosty and frothy.

Stones shot the indoors portion of their Waiting On A Friend video there, in what seems an eternity ago.

Next you'll have to tell them that a Martini can indeed be made with gin.
