Workers have been putting in the OT (last Sunday and Labor Day, for instance) at 28 Avenue B, gutting the former Croxley Ales to make way for a new bar-restaurant from owners of the two Triona locations in the city.
To date, the name of the new establishment hadn't been revealed. (Triona's on B was mentioned as a possibility.)
Yesterday, the new signage went up here between Second Street and Third Street, as EVG regular Salim noted...

It's The Hairy Lemon...

Perhaps this is a homage to Dublin's The Hairy Lemon Pub, which served as a locale for the 1991 film "The Commitments."
In other façade news, it appears that the Ramones mural has survived so far.
Croxley Ales ended its 14-year run on Avenue B after service on Aug. 30.
In August, CB3's SLA committee approved a new liquor license for the establishment. The Hairy Lemon will have hours of noon to 4 a.m. Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The menu is "traditional American-Irish comfort food." The bar-restaurant will also have 20 TV sets.
No word on an opening date for The Hairy Lemon.
