No, not the dumb movie. I mean the bar that inspired it (along with a few other joints where the road goes on forever and the party never ends).
First Avenue between 9 and 10 Streets may not sound like the most happening part of Manhattan, but it's worth the trip if you like a loud mix of southern/rock/pop metal music, your tourists energized and wide-eyed, your locals appreciative of the company and bartentders that are equal parts rowdy and charming.
Like any watering hole worth a spit, it's just as happening during the week as on the weekends. I've been going on Wednesday nights, when Sara (pictured, with Brandi) has been inspiring the Hump Day crowd for two years. She just wrapped up her NYC duties with a going-away party, and now she's headed to the New Orleans campus of the University of Coyote Ugly. She'll be the most fun bartender in the French Quarter; that's a guarantee.
But the cupboard is not bare, and Coyote Ugly continues to be, to me, the most consistently entertaining bar with no cover, with just enough elbow room and beers as cheap as $2.
