Love It

This is the place I would go to have drinks and doing people watching. This is the only dance bar in town.

Disappointed

I always had fun at Charlie's in the past but not this time. Took a while to get a drink. The boyz up front were too busy talking to each other and their friends. Only 2 bartenders were of great service 1 with the Storm tatoo and cutie in the patio. Drag queens everywhere and alot of snotty guys. Sorry but next time I'll past on this place.

Not the old cowboy bar it was, but one of the best dance bars in PHX

Have gone here for years, and yes it has changed, but that isn't always bad. Have fun theme nights. The after hours is the best. GREAT music. The best outdoor patio. Fun crowd. Great restroom with LOTS of urinals and stalls, and lots of peeping! Dance floor and indoors can get really warm when busy and warm out. Then right on the patio is a forceful cold A/C unit. Wish they could pump some of that inside too!
