BAUMHOLDER, Germany — The saws were abuzz and the hammers pounding Friday as crews engaged in a furious race to complete work on the newest downtown nightlife attraction: Coyote Ugly.
The American bar franchise, made famous by the movie of the same name, will have its grand opening at 8 p.m. Saturday. Though the location at 13 Schuberstrasse still looked like a work in progress Friday, owner Oliver Sonnen guaranteed the saloon will be swinging Saturday night.
“We’ll be ready,” Sonnen said as he surveyed the sawdusted scene.
During the first three hours of the grand opening, Jever beer will be served free by Coyote Ugly’s counter-dancing, fire-spitting and scantily clad bartenders.
“We have cool decorations. Nice girls and good drinks. People are going to have a good time here,” said Sonnen, who owns two other Coyote Ugly bars in Germany — one in Koblenz and the other in Kassel.
