Full reveal for Spike's on Avenue A

The new awning/signage for Spike's arrived late last week at 218 Avenue A between 13th Street and 14th Street.

Spike's Instagram account describes the establishment as an "East Village dive bar."No word on an opening date.

As previously noted, Spike's is from the same ownership as the family of bars that includes Iggy's Keltic Lounge on Ludlow, Local 138 on Orchard and the Spotted Owl on Avenue A.

This space was previously the Horsebox, the sports bar that opened in the spring of 2010 ... they never reopened after the PAUSE in March 2020. A for-lease sign arrived here in August.
