Coyote Ugly New York

"Coyote Ugly, the raucous, decades-old bar known for bar-top dancing and body shots, has reopened in its new East Village location with a more intentional vibe featuring leopard-print wallpaper and python upholstery. The original location closed last fall after 27 years due to failed rent negotiations." - Luke Fortney

"Coyote Ugly — the famed, decades-old East Village spot that shut down last fall due to failed rent negotiations — is coming back to life. Neighborhood site EVGrieve reports that Coyote Ugly signage has been hung indoors at 233 East 14th Street, between Second and Third Avenues, signaling the bar’s upcoming return to the neighborhood. The news follows an earlier EVGrieve report that noted Coyote Ugly — which shot to international fame following a blockbuster 2001 movie based on the bar — had applied for a liquor license in that space last September. After Coyote Ugly’s closure was announced last September, owner Liliana Lovell said the bar would reappear in the neighborhood at a later date, and this version would be “a little bit nicer” with “better bathrooms.”" - Erika Adams

"The original Coyote Ugly bar in the East Village is closing down after 27 years. The bar couldn't afford rent after being closed for six months due to COVID restrictions. Attempts to negotiate rent relief failed, leading to its closure. The owner, Liliana Lovell, announced that a new location might open soon on 14th Street between 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue. Coyote Ugly gained fame after a movie was released in 2001 and now operates multiple locations across the U.S. and internationally. The pandemic also led to the closure of its San Diego location." - Erika Adams
