    Patio area

    Super friendly staff and customers. Drinks were on point and surprisingly cheap for Phoenix. Made some new friends which is great when traveling alone.

    Best gay bar in Arizona. Todd and Todd the owners are absolutely delightful! The indoor space is spacious and the air conditioning works well in the blazing Arizona summer heat. The patio area is open and inviting. The staff is super friendly and lots of fun! Bar 1 is now serving ROXX vodka yay!

    My friends and I have been patronizing this bar for years now, ti celebrate the end of each work week. It's pretty basic, with ample bar seating, long tables, pool tables, a lounge area, and an outdoor patio heavily shaded by trees. There is no dance floor and generally no big events. Bartenders mix up and serve drinks with speed, video screen are everywhere playing music videos geared toward the clientele, which is a very mixed and diverse crowd. In all, it's a bar that's comfortable to be in, lively but not overly loud, and a great place to make new friends.

    None of these gay bars in Phoenix are 4/5 stars. I want to give these places high ratings but is my experiences here at this business pulling me back in? ...and the answer is no. I wait up at the bar every time. The bartenders see I'm waiting but can't even acknowledge and say I'll be with you shortly because reality is the bartenders forget they're working to sell alcohol and keep customers there. The business these owners lose because of mediocre staff that can't simply say hi or any friendly welcoming gesture to someone standing up at a bar. Bartenders who make me wait and then get frustrated because I'm asking about the signature drinks being advertised on their tv screens? This lack of customer service has been consistent at this bar. It is why my recommendation is 50/50. The owner is cordial and the manager was nice to us as we were leaving but that cordial behavior doesn't exist in its staff that I've experienced. I'm disappointed because it's a nice looking bar.

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.

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.
