Wondering about Wonderland Bar on 2nd Avenue

Signage for Wonderland Bar recently arrived at 96 Second Ave. between Fifth Street and Sixth Street.

We only know a little about the new concept. Reps for the owners appeared before CB3's SLA committee in November for the bar-restaurant, which would offer an "Asian fusion menu" at the former Mermaid Inn space. (You can find their CB3 questionnaire here.)

The proprietors also operate Chili, a Sichuan restaurant on East 37th Street. 

Based on a look inside, it appears close to opening.

The Mermaid Inn arrived in the East Village in 2003, with several outposts to follow... they closed here during the pandemic, only to reopen then close again in the fall of 2022 after just seven weeks.
