Love the place

This place has been the same for years, bigger now. Any type of person you want you can find there. Very friendly customers and most of the staff is pleasant. My place to go for entertainment.. Keep up the good job!

Not the Charlies I knew

This place has changed so much since I was here last year. It seems that they remodled and it is even more of a hassle to get around then before. The only thing that was nice about it was the bathroom. The bartenders all had attitudeds and acted like children. The dj's music was the same as it was last year when I was visiting just dont understand all that. So if visiting Phoenix I would skip this bar. IT SUCKS.

Not what I Expected

I have to say I was disappointed with this place.. I spoke to quite a handful of people we were all in agreement..the DJ plays teh same music week after week. They would be smarter to just burn a few disc with some more current songs as well as mix in some classics. Is it me or is it the same people that dance there every week.. like some freak country cult. Tried to take country dance lessons, never agian. The instructor was ready to bust out of his tight jeans..need to graduate up to a size 44 honey. He was the worst insructor, you can tell his heart was not into it..just moved to quickly.. SKip it cowboys!!

Going Down Hill

This place used to be the place to go to. However, the Dj here has no clue about what reason he is there for..the people. He continually plays the same songs week after week, month after month. last time there my friends and I were betting as to what song would be next..sadly we were actually right a few times. Hey Charlie's fire the DJ and save some money burn some discs with current and some classic country. The after hours crowd has really become questionable...where are these people coming from..I guess Charlies is desperate at this point. I would skip this place.. Sunday afternoon are still cool from what I have witnessed.

More space, more boredom

The nice thing about this place is that you can actually breathe. The staff is friendly, however the crowd especially afterhours is going downhill rapidly. Don't set your expectations too high.
