LAB reopens after Sunday night pig’s blood incident in back room music venue

Summer tourists, soccer fans and supporters eager to see the gastropub back up and running were streaming into Lexington Avenue Brewery at 11:30 Thursday morning, the first time the craft brewery has been opening since Sunday night. That’s when the band Young and In the Way sprayed gallons of pig’s blood across the stage and audience in the LAB’s back room.

The restaurant is cleaned up and ready to go. In support of that, Ashvegas is running a contest to come up with a creative name for a beer that’s inspired by the Sunday incident. Enter! You might win a $75 gift certificate to the LAB!

Rock on, LAB!

Maybe they should reduce the performance room to this: http://geekologie.com/2014/07/so-metal-death-metal-band-to-play-in-sou.php

How about “Lame Gimmick Grolsch”? “No Hugs From Mommy = Broke and Spraying Pig Blood For Attention Ale”?

Thanks all the same, but no blood splattered pub grub for me. Nome sane?

I’m sure it’s cleaner now than it was before the incident.
