If you live in the New York metropolitan area and are looking for some dark ambience this Halloween weekend, you'll find no better place than The Slaughtered Lamb Pub in Greenwich Village. If the name sounds familiar, that's because the establishment is based on the pub featured in the 1981 hit horror movie An American Werewolf in London.
The pub lacks all the bells and whistles of the nearby Jekyll & Hyde Restaurant and Bar, but that's not necessarily a negative. When kicking back with some friends, it's nice not to have your good time repeatedly interrupted by animatronic spectacle or live entertainers approaching your table. And The Slaughtered Lamb still offers plenty of atmosphere. In the low-lit, dark-wooded interior, you'll find old-fashioned portraits hanging on the walls, pumpkins perched on the mantle, and cased exhibits that bear out the pub's lyncanthropic theme.Now, I'm no food critic, but the burger I ordered this week was as tasty as it was oversized. My only disappointment with the meal was that the pub was tapped out of its signature brew, Full Moon Ale.
The place features a bar room, a separate dining area, a fireside lounge, and a game room. Nonetheless, the premises are not huge, and can easily get crowded. So try to make it a point to arrive early if you plan on visiting The Slaughtered Lamb this holiday weekend--I'm sure people will be traveling in packs to this enjoyable haunt.
