The Slaughtered Lamb Pub on West 4th Street in the West Village of New York City has sadly permanently closed after being in business since 1989. This themed bar with a decor full of werewolves and skeletons was based on the original “Slaughtered Lamb” pub located in a small town just north of London, which was cursed with the bloodline of the werewolf. The inhabitants of the town of East Proctor would sacrifice a lamb of their flock and smear the blood over the doors to ward off the evil spirit of the werewolf. The Slaughtered Lamb Pub in NYC became a popular destination spot in part due to the popularity of the movie “American Werewolf in London” where two NYU students are attacked outside the Slaughtered Lamb pub during the English leg of their tour. We particularly remember the huge crowds gathering at this pub after the annual Greenwich Village Halloween Parade and its motorized train set hanging from the ceiling over the bar area. Let us know your memories associated with this pub.
