    More of a alternative lifestyle bar take a long time to get drinks or service felt kind of unwelcome. Maybe it just wasn't my type of bar.

    IT SMELLS OF SEWAGE INSIDE! Back patio is filthy under benches. Lifeless staff, not touched up in years. Pretty dismal.

    Line dancing at Charlie's Phoenix on Thursdays and Saturdays has quickly become the highlight of my…read moreweek. The energy, fun, and sense of community keep me coming back every time. When I first started, I had zero line dancing experience and was pretty nervous, but the free lessons are incredibly helpful. The instructors make everything feel approachable and fun. After just a few months, I'm now able to jump in and dance to many of the songs, which feels like such a win. What really makes Charlie's special, though, is the people. The veteran line dancers are welcoming, encouraging, and genuinely happy to help newcomers feel included. It never feels intimidating, just supportive and fun. I'm grateful that Charlie's has introduced me to an amazing new group of friends, and the venue itself couldn't be better for it. I also want to add that the drinks are reasonably priced and some nights theres also tacos.

What I did not expect was the $10 cover for ladies! I was also a little surprised that people were allowed in there with full leather face masks but I couldn't bring a purse. Keep in mind they will make you check it at a (pretty unsecure) area in the front. The space is huge with multiple rooms and bars to order from. The back is the dance floor. We came on a weekend where it was in the 100s in the valley. They have the current temperature of that room in big red letters and while we were there it was 107!! I could only last back there for 1 or 2 songs before I had to go to a cooler part of the bar for some water. My friends definitely had more fun than me, I just got too hot too quick.

    New location is meh. It's a whole lot of trying too hard. The DJ absolutely never shuts up so…read moredancing is difficult. The door guy was literally smoking in the doorway while checking our IDs. A herd of dudes were smoking in the doorway when we left. Not really worth even the $5 cover. Too bad, it's new location could really have made it awesome if they kept the old vibe. The only thing they seemed to hold over was the old crappy bathrooms. This is NOT the old Cash Inn Country. Definitely not a place to hang out and drink, dance, just chill. They're too busy pushing bottle service, prancing around gogo dancers, just trying way to damn hard. It reminds me of when the Biz got bought out and crashed hard. If this is still primarily a lesbian bar is absolutely does not look like it. It's really mixed now, a ton of guys there. The music tonight (Saturday) was all hip hop and some dance/house (when the DJ wasn't talking). Despite a decent crowd hardly anyone was dancing and it was midnight. The parking lot was packed, but I suspect that had more to do with the line coming out of Karambas next door.

    Boycott is such a fun bar in Phoenix! I came here with some friends while on a bachelorette party…read moreand we had such a great time. It was the perfect place to kick off our gay bar bar-hop since it was much more low-key compared to the other spots. The music was so good, the bartender was nice, and the dancer was AMAZINGGGG. We were pretty much the only people there but she was giving us a full show. There was a DJ + a large space to dance, as well as a decent sized outdoor patio. I think it probably gets a little busier as the night goes on, but we still had a lot of fun!

Only the few people who came in as customers during karaoke were amazing and wonderful. The STAFF HERE IS JUDGMENTAL AS FUCK. I just lost a ton of weight over the last year and am very tall, I came in here super cute with my followers. I was trying to have fun while being RESPECTFUL TOWARDS THOSE AROUND ME. I did NOT receive the same treatment at all. They couldn't take ANY of my cards like chime debit or PayPal, also don't have any electronic type pay at all. FYI Kindness is free maybe don't BE the HATE WE ALL see in the world. WE ARE A RAINBOW COMMUNITY FOR A REASON. All I was trying to do was find a SAFE PLACE to chill and you FUCKED THAT UP WITH YOUR JUDGEMENT (and eye rolls). That's on you, especially when I tried to have conversations and treat you with love and kindness but all I got was NEGATIVITY. That doesn't EVER create a conducive environment for LGBTQ+ humans. So CHANGE. BECOME BETTER. Our community deserves it.
