When you need a beer.... Charlie's is really great for two things: 1) being outside and 2) drinking beer. The Beer Garden is a summer haven. Other than that, it is not my fav -- The burgers didn't impress me, and neither did the 10 minute wait for a server (and a snarky one at that) to come over to our table on a pretty quiet weekday night. But for when the weather's too good to meet up for drinks inside, there's nowhere else you want to go but Charlie's.…
Great food, So, So service. The food here is GREAT and the prices are good too. Try the steak tips, they are EXCELLENT. They have a pretty good variety so everyone could find something. The only problem was the service, it was pretty slow and very hard to get refills.…
Good beer, Good music. Good beer and a very very good music selection are the main draws for us to Charlie's Kitchen. The waitstaff is charmingly unenthusiastic, but I guess that's just part of the experience. The food is nothing to write home about...typical bar food...just beware that if you order a grilled cheese and other people order burgers, there's a good chance that your sandwich will be fairly chilly when it gets to the table. My only real objection is that last time we were there, they were playing a discovery channel TV show at the bar that was pretty much just animals mauling and eating each other. The guy friends I was with thought it was entertaining, but watching entrails being strewn about didn't help my appetite at all.…
I wish I had their jukebox in my apartment. The upstairs is by far my favorite place to grab a drink, eat cheap greasy food, and listen to Jawbreaker or New Order blasting from the jukebox.
Good beer list, aweome wait staff!. Don't anger the waitresses! They can be surly but they're great! Food is okay--it's cheap bar food-grilled cheese, veggie soup, cheap decent burgers. Avoid the vegatarian options, they usually don't turn out well. Trivia is competitive but fun. The upstairs is usually better than downstairs--unless it's karaoke night or live band night, both of which should be avoided.…
