Lauren Heads West


Although the lovely Lauren, pictured above, has recently started working at Yogi's and The Patriot Saloon, she is no newcomer to the bartending scene. She had worked for six years at Fubar, a name some New Yorkers (and military buffs) may find familiar.

Fubar was located on East 50th Street near Second Avenue in Manhattan until this March. Then the bar was crushed, yes, literally smashed, in one of several high-profile crane collapses which have occurred of late in Fun City.

Since heading to the West Side and Yogi’s, and downtown to The Patriot, Lauren has fallen for one of these bars’ regulars: Waylon Jennings. Put on some of his songs, and her sunny face lights up like high noon in Luckenbach, Texas.
Lauren does not have a regular schedule yet, although she did captain the ship at Yogi’s this Monday night, where there has been no regular bartender since Janet moved to Wednesday days. Hopefully we’ll all be kept posted about Lauren’s next assignments, which y’all are hereby ordered to attend!

Michelle Kicks Ass at Uncle Mike's



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.
