The Lions is an American bar and grill — We serve classic cocktails, frosty mugs of beer and all-night food centered around a house ground burger, a fun and thoughtful bar menu and weekly specials.

The Lions sits on the corner of Saint Marks and First Avenue in the very center of the East Village. Our location in the heart of our neighborhood is also at the heart of our bar.

We strive to bring hospitality, comforting food and spirits and a convivial and fun time to everyone that walks through the door.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Martinis, burgers and fries, cold beer and great music.

Open 7 days a week.

From Endless Hospitality Group…the good people that brought you The Wayland, Goodnight Sonny, Bar Lula, Madeline’s Martini and High Hope Tavern.
