    Popped in on a Sat night and the 6 of us ladies had a blast with O’Daddy piano man! Dont be deceived by the midtown kind of exterior and stairs up, It’s a lively gay bar with a small outdoor area in the back and a piano man playing everything from Whitney to show tunes to Elton to Britney.

    In town from Australia and we wandered about looking for a nice place for a cocktail after dinner. We stumbled across this absolute gem of a bar. The drinks were fabulous as was the company, and Robert (I think that was his name) was looking after the music play list that night, and he could tell a yarn or two, and was really great for a story and a chat. We had a the best night there and only wished we could have gone back. Highly recommended.

    Charlie's has an absolutely fantastic atmosphere and impeccable service. Chill vibes, affordable (yummy) drinks, and intimate performances make this lounge my favorite late-night spot. Keep it up Uncle Charlie's!

    Visited this bar while in NYC for a week long client meeting and let me tell you...place was excellent! Went my first free night and they offered snacks, which won me over immediately since I love snacks, and the bartender was a great host. Loved it so much we brought a group the next night and they loved the place as well! Drinks are cheap, music is excellent, and the people are wonderful! Highly recommend going here!

    We came here unexpectedly on a Sunday afternoon after a birthday brunch. We were a group of 20 people and couldn’t have felt more welcome and cared for. Leo was the most AMAZING waiter and made the celebration, though unplanned, very special.

    We wandered in here on our back to our hotel for a drink and what a wonderful end to our evening. It is an upstairs bar with a super friendly local clientele. There was an amazing pianist who was accompanying an open mic night. So it was like karaoke with a live super skilled musician. Everyone was very welcoming and encouraging of each other. Great experience.

    We were looking for a casual place to enjoy a few drinks and have a nice conversation. Uncle Charlie was great despite it being a slow night, I believe Eddie was on the piano. He was extremely friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked in. I found the concept to be quite unique for a gay bar and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. JC at the bar was great as well!

    I'm almost hesitant to leave a review because I want to keep Uncle Charlie's a secret. It's my favorite neighborhood bar. John at the bar is the sweetest.

    I moved to Fort Lauderdale back in 2015 and decided I'm moving back up to Wonderful NY. I recently visited Uncle Charlie's for the social atmosphere.. which brought back my Wonderful memories of the quality of NY. I will definitely hang out there regularly to enjoy life and make great new friends. I ❤️ NY.

    On our way back to our hotel after a long day of touristing, we wandered into this fun and friendly spot. Very reasonable prices for Manhattan, and a great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 william s. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great place with an amazing staff. We showed up unannounced on a Saturday night with a bridal party and Uncle Charlie’s PUT. OUT. Great service from the bar, fantastic music from the pianist, and elevated the energy of our already bubbling party more than we thought possible. 11/10 would piano again

    Stumbled upon Uncle Charlie’s for a date. Great drinks, fun atmosphere and very nice bartenders. I would highly recommend this place to my guests.

  • 5/5 Jody M. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice place, handsome guys and sort of old fashioned gay bar. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Too bad the apps have nearly destroyed the gay bar business. It ain’t the same.

    The piano bar was great! I loved the song choices and I actually decided to sing myself. It was fun and I would definitely go back again. I was alone though and wishing I had more friends who I could have hung out with there.
