New York City Bartenders & Patrons

So I finally got around to visiting Uncle Mike's. I was there last Tuesday with a couple of jokers, part of the NYCBP Monthly Party. It is located at 57 Murray Street, at West Broadway.

As luck would have it, Michelle was working. What a star bartender. It took a few minutes for her to warm up, but then she was on a roll. She did a long stint bartending at a strip joint, so this Colorado native can pretty much put up with anything. When she said her two favorite things are baseball and porn, I was hooked for life.

I asked why the hell anyone should visit her, and Michelle said she's a good hang. I'll say. At $4 a Bud Light, I'd have moved in. Why oh why did I like this bar? I found out the owner is none other than Dave McWater, who also owns Doc Holliday's, Nice Guy Eddie's, and scores more good bar. They have a pretty stupid happy hour, two for one, but only from 1-5, which is good if you are a construction worker (don't drop any steel on me, please).

One really, really good thing about Uncle Mike's: it is next door to New York Dolls. A little past 8 p.m. around nine strippers got off work and came into the bar for their dinner and post-stripping bullshit session. Overheard at the bar: "I love seeing strippers get off work."

You can catch Michelle:
Tuesday: 11 AM to 8 PM
Wedneday: 11 AM to 8 PM (with Cindy from The Patriot)
Thursday: 5 PM to 2 AM

Michelle is also a notable fetish photographer, so check out her web site.

Be sure to visit and tell Michelle you saw her on NYCBP.
