Uncle Charlie's Piano Bar & Cocktail Lounge (Closed Permanently)

Great Gay addition

Uncle Charlie's has been around for several months. My loss in not stopping earlier. It's up a flight of stairs, 2nd floor in a townhouse. A handsome long bar, plenty of elbow room. Terrific piano entertainment, and an open mic. Uncle Charlie's hosts a special cabaret evening every Thursday. A comfy lounge, outdoor patio, friendly staff, and a five hour happy hour. Every day, there's a special going on -- including Silver Daddy Sundays. It's half-a-block from Grand Central -- the only gay bar in the nabe -- and one night, around 6 pm, several well-dressed gentleman popped in for quick drinks before catching the train. And though they looked like married commuters, when we'd exchange glances, my gaydar kicked in ... and so did theirs.
