The ceiling and walls are decorated with a number of souvenirs from locals and tourists alike.

With 11 other saloons across the country, two more in Germany, and three in Russia, the New York saloon is no longer the only Coyote Ugly, although it remains distinct from the others.

The bartenders have also seen every breed of celebrity come in, including porn star Jesse Jane (who danced on the bar and was “very nice,” we were told), Piper Perabo from the Coyote Ugly movie, Elizabeth Gilbert of Eat, Pray Love fame (who also used to bartend at Coyote Ugly), Colin Farrell who was just there to do “research” for a movie role, that guy with the pants from Subway commercials, and someone who looked a lot like Kirsten Dunst. And they get every type of occupation, from construction workers to stock traders. Women often come in with their husbands and boyfriends. Monday night includes beer pong, which draws the college crowd. They get a lot of locals during the week and tourists on the weekends, according to Sanderson. A few loyal customers have been visiting the bar since its original opening almost 19 years ago. They make every night their own show and they run it as they please, she said.īecause of their wild performances, Coyote Ugly has a fairly loyal customer base, which includes mostly men but many women (guilty) as well. Coyote Ugly girls are trained in all of the above. Penalty shots are $10, and entail bartenders spitting liquor in your mouth.

Bachelorette parties also get free tank tops.īartenders whip patrons as part of the packages, but “rarely rip off shirts,” Sanderson said.

Female recipients are encouraged to get on the bar, usually coupled with free shots and a spray down with water. Every bar tender knows the two staple house dances, which go with the songs “Pour Some Sugar On Me” and “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” and several others are rotated around.Ĭoyote Ugly offers an array of ‘special packages,’ meant especially for birthdays and bachelor/bachelorette parties they do, after all, enjoy “making a show out of it,” said Sanderson. The Ugly girls learn choreographed dances to perform on the bar. Making drinks is only half the job at the saloon. For the Ugly girls, “sexy is more about suggestion.” They have to be sexy, said Sanderson, but not in a raunchy way. There aren’t many guidelines for a bartender’s style as long as they are wearing the mandatory cowboy boots, they just need to present themselves in a way that they’re comfortable with. Working at Coyote Ugly is a lot more about personality than it is about looks. “If you have a kick ass personality, we’ll take you,” said Sanderson, “and if you make it past a month, you can work here for ten years.” All she looks for is girls who are outgoing those who can and will talk to anyone. As long as a girl is comfortable dancing on the bar and interacting with people, she’s good to go. There’s no need for a bartending license, formal dance training, or any special talents, although it doesn’t hurt to be trained in pounding shots. She left Ugly just last week to move to Tennessee, but not before we got the chance to chat.Īccording to Sanderson, bartending at Coyote Ugly is all about personality. Fast-forward six and a half years, and she’s saloon manager. During college she started going to Coyote Ugly with friends and was handed an application after dancing on the bar one night.

Sanderson studied acting and performing, and said she definitely did not foresee a career in bar tending. We infiltrated the original NYC Coyote Ugly Saloon with the help of Jules Sanderson, a longtime Ugly bartender and manager and an NYU Tisch alum. Having frequented the bar often enough to see some crazy things, we wanted to know more about what it took to bartend at this infamous saloon. Now there are 16 other locations around the world, but the New York one is where it’s at. A GQ article about the bar and the 2000 film with Piper Perabo popularized the Coyote Ugly name. NYU graduate Liliana Lovell founded the original Coyote Ugly Saloon in New York City in 1993 after she left a career on Wall Street. Bartending at Coyote Ugly definitely takes a certain type of personality and a special surplus of energy, especially if a typical work night involves whipping someone until they have welts on their back. That means we have watched multiple people get whipped with their own belts, have whiskey forced down their throats, and get their bras ripped off by the bartenders. We have spent several wilder nights at Coyote Ugly.
