Too Bad

I grew up in Phoenix and loved the old Charlie's. Where have the cowboys gone?

Warning Charlies not the former Charlies anymore

Warning Charlies is not Charlies anymore. The gay cowboys are long gone. Instead you will get twinks, salsa, drag queens and lots of women. If youre looking for a hip hop taco stand / drag theater - you might find what youre looking for. If youre a closeted salsa twink that needs a place to take your fake girlfriend you might like it. If your displaced troll/bear looking for a place to congregate your hermetically sealed clique you might like Charlies (at certain times). If youre a gay cowboy or admirer dont bother. The fun, energy and friendliness of the former CW Charlies has vanished. it is a different place with a different non CW clientele.

Just dont get it....

The worst service ever!, the lightest drinks, plus you cant swing a dead lesbian without hitting a drag queen. Pass on this one!

Nice place,

It was my first time here, and had a great time. Staff was very friendly, as was the other guest. Nice place to go to meet people, have fun, or just to relax, talk, and have a drink.
