The Tender Bar
- Drama
JR is a fatherless boy growing up in the glow of a bar where the bartender, his Uncle Charlie, is the sharpest and most colorful of an assortment of quirky and demonstrative father figures. As the boy’s determined mother struggles to provide her son with opportunities denied to her — and leave the dilapidated home of her outrageous if begrudgingly supportive father — JR begins to gamely, if not always gracefully, pursue his romantic and professional dreams, with one foot persistently placed in Uncle Charlie’s bar.
The Tender Bar is a 2021 drama following JR, a fatherless boy who finds mentorship and family in his Uncle Charlie and the colorful regulars of a neighborhood bar. Released in December 2021, the film explores how JR navigates his romantic and professional ambitions while rooted in the bar's world, as his mother fights to build a better life for them both.
