great place and why?. I've been going there for years and find it still not clickish or exclusive and open and friendly at all times. Now under new mangers and owners its even better. Only draw back is if a bartender named Donny in on duty. then go some place else if you want a drink He is too busy eating behind the bar or on the phone or talking to a select few, Other wise its a good place and fun.…
Grandpa's. Grandpa's.. I mean Uncle's (joking) is a quaint place on 12th and locust. I was here around thanksgiving and there was a good amount of men (mostly older) and a few woman chilling, chatting, and flirting. The mood is very mellow and though it's crowded (bar stools very close together) you still feel like you're in your own space among friends. I would definitely recommend the bar for quick drinks and conversation. The employees were nice (saw the bartender getting a friendly back rub), drinks weren't too strong or too weak, and wasn't smoky when I was there! ATM, clean bathroom, and good music.…
Nice Bar but we witnessed a FIGHT TOO.
I was in Uncle's with 2 friends the night the bar stool
fight happened. The older man was a short dark
haired guy in a baseball cap who rides around in a
rented LIMO or something. His friend was a dark haired
Irish guy, very drunk, very on-drugs or something. A
sugar daddy thing. THe older guy seemed like a
control freak because soon the two began to argue.
Things got worse and before we knew it things were
flying in the air. Yeah, we see this guy and the fake LIMO
from time to time. He has other BOY TOYS. Seems like
a sick arrangement.…
Heroin and Sugar Daddy Hangout--beware.
I was there with a friend some months ago and we witnessed a 20 something guy throw a bar stool at his older male companion, a short guy in a baseball cap. I've seen these two before. The older man
buys
the younger one drinks and then trouble ensues. On this night the bar stool incident really scared people away. Word has it that the older man supplied the younger guy with heroin and alochol and this started the fight. I've seen them around town, in a limo and so forth. It is creepy. Who are they? I hear they go to the Westbury because somebody said that Uncles kicked them out. Who knows. Just be careful.…
Nice neighborhood gay bar without all the pretense. At Uncles, it is extremely rare that one will find the unfortunate cattiness and bitchy attitude often associated with other bars in the gayborhood. No, this is a neighborhood watering hole, plain and simple. The drinks are strong and inexpensive, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, and the music is up to you: The jukebox is in constant use so bring some dollar bills. Uncles tends to skew a bit older but I have very often walked in and found at least half the crowd consisting of twenty-somethings. It's a great place to meet up with your friends and either start the night (cheap drinks) or finish it (a relaxed night cap). A note for the uninitiated: The mens room is labeled "uncles" and the ladies room is labeled--you guessed it--"aunts." :)…
