Uncle Sam's

"Where people and music meet", Uncle Sam’s at 2525 Walden Avenue in Cheektowaga was part of a larger chain of discotheques around the nation.  Home of "The Firecracker", Uncle Sam's was first a disco known for its funky reverse dance floor and later, one of Buffalo's earliest punk clubs. Uncle Sam's actually drew some pretty big names, too: Gang of Four, the Pretenders, the Plasmatics and the Ramones, to name a few.
