Gregory Nalbone - The Eagle - NYC

WHET to him? His IG page with almost 400K followers disappeared - he is not in any recent pics from The Eagle on IG - there is nothing recent anywhere. Has anyone been to The Eagle lately and knows if he’s still there bartending? He literally vanished….

Gregory was one of the most talented bartenders ever. He also had a lot of pain and struggle throughout his life. Despite that, he had a good heart, which is hard to encounter in New York City. At a time when gay people were oppressed beyond belief, they identified with his struggles and he theirs.

He is very hot, disarmingly nice (in the way of some very hot men who you expect to be a cunt but aren’t),and photogenic. Also somewhat unattainable as a friend and a loner. So, yes, the qualities of a star bartender. He was a fixture in ny’s gay nightlife scene since the earlyish 1990s. That scene has ceased to exist. No idea where he is. Last I noticed he was back to work at the reopened, post Covid lockdown Eagle, but that was a long time ago.

With a dick and body like that, he was in the right business and probably had some good times. A big cock is currency in the gay world or at least it used to be.

As of 17 February 2020 a Gregory Nalbone employed at The Eagle made political donations to ACTBLUE. Thus we can safely assume unless he died after that fact Mr. Nalbone is still living.

But unless Ghurls on LPSG missed something (rare for that lot), Mr. Nalbone didn't post anything very risqué on his IG page or elsewhere. That being said according to LPSG posts IG was always taking posted images down for various reasons. So maybe Mr. Nalbone just said "fuck it' and no longer wants to bother.

Am presuming your comment was a joke, no one could be so naïve.

Leaving tackle dimensions aside, scores if not hundreds (maybe thousands) of persons ranging from reasonably attractive to drop dead gorgeous men and women have moderate acting talents, and or decent enough voice. Only a select few however have "it*, and more to point find things come together where one break leads to any sort of moderately successful career. Throw in height challenged, not so great looking, etc... and you increase number several fold.

Gregory Nalbone like Colton Ford and Steve Grand (among others) has a nice enough instrument for what it is, but any sort of major performing career just isn't in the cards.

by Anonymousreply 139March 7, 2022 9:50 PM

No small number of bartenders both gay and straight/male or female packed up and moved over past two years.

Covid often produced a one-two economic punch that hit a good number quite hard. Cuomo shutting down bars/nightclubs and so forth was bad enough, but when performing arts and cultural venues were shut as well, that was last straw.

Bartending has always been a steady side gig for actors, singers, dancers, etc.. right up there with other hospitality jobs like waiter. With everything shut down in NYC, and not everyone qualifying for all that free UI money, people did what they had to do...

Well one way the Eagle stays open is they now charge a freakin 25 dollar cover every Friday and Saturday. They gave also expanded where there is a real dance floor on the first floor.

Friday and Saturdays are prime nights for most bars or clubs. Likely serious cover charge keeps out fraus, and others not desired, leaving just hardcore Eagle crowd.

Or, it could be very well as with other places cover charge is just that, a fee to "cover" costs of entertainment, and to offset prices of drinks. Latter especially if many order cheap drinks and or not many at all.

It’s either a serious case of meth addiction, where to recover he had to pull a geographic to recover, OR he got caught stealing and rather than make a fuss, management dismissed him and cut him off. I’m guessing the bar owners let him off lightly but other bar owners would’ve been tipped off to this and not hired him.

I was a bartender in a gay nightclub, on the front page of magazines, etc. and there’s a megawattage of attention foistered onto you that’s very hard to lose. That kind of vibe only works once around , even for the most notorious bartenders.

Splash also charged a cover on Fri/Sat, it’s to cover the extra security payroll and happy hour.

Covers are a way to make more money. Clearly the Eagle needs the money to stay in business. I paid it, was just surprised to see they are now doing the 25 cover but I get times have been tough. They also still cash only.

Honestly cash only annoyed me more than the cover, even though the Eagle has always been cash only. They need to get with the times. Seems like they are just doing this so they can cheat on their taxes. No one wants to have to carry around a lot of cash these days.

It's much easier for patrons to rationalize $25 entry fee if it's paid by credit card. That's how we rationalize many of our purchases.

Is it cash to keep it from having the place report it to the IRS?

[Quote]Is it cash to keep it from having the place report it to the IRS?

Yep, it's much easier for a cash only business to underreport their amount of income to the IRS. They can take more profit off the top and pay less in taxes.

They also don't have to pay credit card processing fees, what they usually give as the justification. But truth is that's only part of it.

R175 et al, obviously enough persons still use cash that Eagle does enough business to remain open.

For the record there are plenty of bars, clubs, service based businesses, etc.. that do not accept credit or debit cards.

Accepting credit cards first and foremost is mostly a convenience to customers. Associated merchant and other fees/surcharges act as a tax to business accepting, and those sums often represent a substantial cut of every sale. For this reason every effing business that accepts credit/debit/charge cards builds said costs into prices.

There is also fact for sales below certain amount cost per credit/debit/charge card are rather steep. Visa, Mastercard, Amex and rest once forbade those with merchant accounts from attaching minimum purchase surcharges, though now IIRC it is allowed but must be < $10.

For a bar or club depending upon prices for beer and booze versus transaction fees it may not make sense to accept credit or charge cards. Drink/beer prices at Eagle are rather reasonable for NYC, thus perhaps dealing only in cash plus cover charge on certain nights seems to be working out well.

People are willing to accept with cash only because they are horny and they can have sex there. The only other cash only gay bar in NY is The Cock. Another bar people will out up with it because there is sex which they can't just find at another bar.

Most bars couldn't get away with it because people would just go elsewhere.

I moved to NYC summer 1999 and shortly after that because aware of Gregory through his Friday night stint gogo dancing at Rawhide. That bar rarely attracted much of a crowd, fanbase etc., and it was just him on top of a wooden box,, wearing only the skimpiest of speedos or speedo=like covering for down there.

He was built back then but not built up. And I concur with all of those who said he was disarmingly nice. It was not an act; he was just wired that way.

Listen to this podcast that Nalbone did in 2021, and you can probably figure out why he left Instagram.

He's the first guest of this episode for his good friend, Steve V. Rodriguez', show (Talk About Gay Sex) in celebration of the host's 50th birthday.

Nalbone's segment starts around the 3-minute mark and lasts for about 17 minutes.

Much of the initial conversation is about life during the pandemic and how he managed lockdown. But then, around the 13-minute mark, the host begins a conversation about Nalbone's presence on social media (IG) and some of the issues he's had to deal with.

Nalbone details problems he's had with imposters and people who have stolen photos and content from him using the material as their own. He describes those actions as "aggravating," but more recently there have been cases that have escalated to what sounds like identity theft and taking his material to make money. That became a different matter for him altogether. He uses the word "cyber-crime" and says that at one point the FBI was involved in an investigation.

I myself have read that dealing with Instagram in these matters can be exhausting. He notes that he's quit IG previously because of this, so it wouldn't surprise me if something of this nature happened again, and he just said, "FUCK IT!"

R208 True .. And over time, he may have discovered that he didn't miss the bartending at all when he was laid off because of pandemic/lockdown. .. The cycling that he began doing during that time (described in the podcast) sounded like it could have been something of an epiphany giving him time to reflect on things.

Content theft has been rampant since early days of internet. Things have only gotten worse with people taking other's images for catfishing or other nefarious purposes including uploading onto porn sites.

As for comment about GN moaning about being a victim of ID theft to "random strangers", people do that all the time.

Key word there is "victim", and many such victimized persons feel need to talk about what has happened to them as perhaps way of therapy. There's nothing shame making about having ID stolen, you make it sound like crime of rape where people say "he/she was asking for it...".

FBI gets involved whenever ID theft rises to level of something interstate or even internationally.

If someone was using Mr. Nalbone's copyrighted content without permission, that is a violation of Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). In which case yes, FBI gets involved, not merely local LE.
