Awna, New York City

Awna, NYC

Look in the dictionary for the word Badass, and you will see the definition says Awna! Awna came from the Vegas location, but soon enough she was corrupted by the NYC vibe. She’s a Coyote, shift lead, and dance co-captain. So sweet, with a dangerous bite…

What’s the must fun about your job at Coyote Ugly?
I love doing sing alongs. The energy is electric when the whole room comes together.

What makes you a good Coyote?
My Confidence, drive, ability to think quick on my feet, and my ability to terrify even the brawniest of men in the best way possible.

How long have you been a bartender?
11 years now. Everything from fine dining to night clubs.

What do like to do on your off time?
I have a lot of creative drive. I write and compose my own music, paint, and make my own clothes!

What is your favorite type of music?
I’m a big indie sad girl at heart. I love bands like The Avett Brothers and Lake Street Dive. Then on the opposite end I absolutely love Kpop. BTS and Stray Kids have my heart.

Do you think the movie is anything like the real thing?
Absolutely! Of course real life is a lot more raw and in the moment. But I won’t pretend I haven’t cut off my fair share of ponytails.

Why should a potential customer come and visit you?
I’m damn good at my job. And having a great pair of legs also doesn’t hurt

Do you have any advice for women that want to be a Coyote?
Like Natasha Bedingfield said, release your inhibitions. Being a Coyote is hard work, but it’s also extremely freeing. Have confidence and own your own powerfully feminine spirit.
