Who owned uncle charlies gay bar miami

The Book of Lamentations: a bitterly nostalgic look at a city in the process of going extinct. This was the absolute best hang out in it's early-mid years. My friends and I would hit up happy hour, then, invariably, end up at The Ninth Circle. Happy days. I took my lesbian friends there once. It was their first venture into a male bar.

Their response was priceless. Uncle Charlie's, the bar where you went went you first left the closet. And I hate to bring up bad memories, but didn't a bomb go off there once in the 's? I remember a vigorous bag check soon after. I used to work in Uncle Charlie's back in the late eighties. It was the first gay bar I felt comfortable and welcomed in right when I first came out.

That was before they were really strict about IDs. Thank you for the memories I was a young gay man who moved to the city in '89 from Delaware. It was the first gay bar I ever visited. The feeling of finally being with other gay people was amazing It was an amazing place, always fun with really good looking men from everywhere.

I will never forget it. Really handsome bartenders too. I used to be a runway model in Europe before moving to New York in to study acting. Had no talent whatsoever and was by now too old to model so I did other things. But I was one of those bleach blondes in a halter top posing at Uncle Charlie's.

Is this the Wildest Queer Address in NYC?

Then when that got too boring I was off to dance at the Monster. Which is were I met my husband one night in October Yep, soon to be 30 years! Was SUCH a vital part of my coming out and exposure to other young and not so young gay men. I had the time of my life meeting and flirting with so many great fellas.

I went to Uncle Charlies to socialize, I left the Stand and Modeling to the braindead and self absorbed pretty people.
