About this place U Bar

U Bar at 1220 Locust Street keeps the old Uncles’ low‑key charm alive in the Gayborhood’s core. The venue was once the Uncles; it was renamed U Bar in 2012, and the guesthouse that used to sit above has been removed. Critics have dubbed it the Gayborhood’s “Cheers,” noting how regulars sit at the bar, staff greet them by name, and newcomers find themselves chatting in minutes. The bar stays open every day from 11:00 to 02:00, making it one of the few gay spots that lets you grab a drink after lunch. It’s a place for conversation, not a dance floor. A block or two away you’ll find Woody’s, Tavern on Camac, and the Camac Street bars, all within easy walking distance.

Stopped in here before dinner at Nonna's. Great bar staff. They make a helluva martini, and my wife enjoyed her Aperol spritz as well
