Английская Википедия:Coyote Ugly Saloon
The Coyote Ugly Saloon is an American drinking establishment and the namesake of an international chain of bars, known for its bartenders dancing on the bar. It served as the setting for the 2000 movie Coyote Ugly.
History
The original Coyote Ugly Saloon opened on January 27, 1993 in New York City, after NYU graduate Liliana Lovell decided to forfeit an internship on Wall Street; feeling an open-minded sense of adventure, Lovell instead opted for work as a bartender.[1]
In 2001, the second Coyote Ugly location opened, appropriately, at the Las Vegas Strip’s New York-New York Hotel & Casino, with management franchising the operation.[1] In 2002, a new, company-owned bar opened in New Orleans' French Quarter. In 2003, Lovell relocated from New York City to New Orleans to run that newer bar and be involved in the day-to-day corporate operations.
In 2004, the company opened additional corporate-owned locations in San Antonio and Austin, Texas, as well as Nashville, Tennessee. In 2005, the company opened additional corporate-owned locations in Denver, Colorado and, in 2006, in Memphis, Tennessee. In June of 2009, the first new Coyote Ugly opened after nearly three years, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.[2] Since 2009, more franchised bars in Tampa, Panama City Beach, Destin and Daytona Beach were established in Florida.
In that same year, Coyote Ugly began an international franchise program with a multi-unit licensing contract in Russia, opening their first internationally franchised bar in Moscow, with another in Koblenz, Germany. Following these openings, its Russian operations expanded to locations in St. Petersburg in 2010, followed by Kazan in 2011.
In 2016 the first of the British bars opened, with locations in Liverpool and Birmingham. Additional locations opened in Wales, notably in the largest Welsh city of Cardiff, as well as Swansea. In August of 2022, the most recent bar was opened in Camden, London.
In popular culture
Movie based on the company
Шаблон:Main The bar reached national prominence in 1997 when former bartender Elizabeth Gilbert wrote of her experiences in an article for GQ magazine, titled "The Muse of the Coyote Ugly Saloon".[3] Producer Jerry Bruckheimer's company bought the rights to the story from Lovell, and he produced the movie Coyote Ugly, based on the article. The film was shot on a set in Los Angeles, with exteriors filmed in Manhattan. Coyote Ugly opened in August 2000 with Maria Bello in the role of Lovell and Piper Perabo as an aspiring songwriter in New York City who becomes the newest "Coyote". It grossed more than US$110 million worldwide.[4]
Other
From 2006 to 2008, CMT ran three seasons of The Ultimate Coyote Ugly Search produced by Touchstone Television. The first two seasons saw a group of prospective employees paired with a serving Coyote in the hope of getting a job at the bar and a cash sum for them and their partner. The final season changed the format with the contestants competing to get a place on the traveling Coyotes troupe – five Coyotes who could be booked to bar-tend and entertain at corporate, sports, and music events.
