Bob's Your Uncle

"Another BYOF option on the Upper West Side, Bob’s Your Uncle is a little bit bigger than Dive 75, and it feels slightly less like the home of several 20-year-olds who might own lava lamps. It’s just a big open room with brick walls and a shuffleboard table, and it’s perfect for when you just want a normal place for a low-key drink. They also serve jello shots, which are technically food - but the appropriate move is to go to Saiguette (half a block away) and pick up a banh mi." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"If you’re with a few friends near the northern end of the Upper West Side, and you’re looking for a very normal bar where you can hang out for any length of time and down inexpensive drinks, go to Bob’s Your Uncle. It feels like a big, slightly divey rec room, with brick walls, a shuffleboard table, and photos of various people named Bob on the wall. They also have jello shots, so you could eat colorful, gelatinous alcohol for dinner. Or just make use of the bring-your-own-food policy." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, matt tervooren

"Bob’s Your Uncle has two things we truly appreciate: board games and jello shots. So if you’re looking for something to do at 2pm on a Saturday, know that you can have a very good time here. The space is pretty plain, with brick walls and wooden tables, and it’s a perfectly good place to kill some time with a couple of friends on the Upper West Side, especially during Happy Hour (weekdays from 2-7pm)." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"If you’re with a few friends near the northern end of the Upper West Side, and you’re looking for a very normal bar where you can hang out for any length of time while you have some inexpensive drinks, go to Bob’s Your Uncle. It feels sort of like a big, slightly divey rec room, with brick walls, a shuffleboard table, and photos of various people named Bob up on the wall. They also have jello shots, so your night here can either be very tame or full of colorful, gelatinous alcohol." - Bryan Kim
