My husband & discovered Uncle Charlie’s a few years ago on a trip & now it’s a must for us every time we visit NYC. We like that it’s less touristy & more of a local hangout than some of the other piano bars in town. The bartenders & local regulars are friendly, the drinks reasonably priced & we have always felt very welcome included as visitors.
We’ve been here twice and both times were great experiences. Staff is friendly, the entertainment is fun. Just found out about the patio with a view of the Chrysler building on our last visit this past Saturday. Will definitely return next time in NYC.
Found this piano bar on our trip to NYC. Great atmosphere! Friendly staff. Very cozy feel in the big city. We will definitely stop by every time we come back now.
