East Village Burgers and Crispy Mozzarella Sticks
Burgers and mozzarella sticks anchor a loud East Village room with indoor and outdoor seats.
🍔 Big Bites, Big Energy
Order the burger first, then make room for the crispy mozzarella sticks at The Lions Bar & Grill. The East Village room runs on a busy, youthful buzz, with a wood ceiling, a long bar, globe lights, big front windows, and wooden booths that keep 1st Ave in view. Fries earn steady praise too, and indoor and outdoor seating give the night some flexibility.
Drinks split the crowd. Some guests swear by the martinis, while others stick to beer over cocktails. The room gets loud enough to make conversation work, and service can run slow, worth knowing with a big group in tow. Happy hour adds another reason to show up early.
Doors open at 4 PM Monday through Friday and at noon on weekends. The late window is the real hook, with the bar staying open until 2 AM Tuesday through Saturday and until 1 AM on Monday and Sunday. Grab a booth, split a plate of sticks, and ride the noise.
