Casual and comfortable dive bar with authentic and meaningful memorabilia throughout. I was happy to see more than one bartender on staff while I was there, and each one had a fun and quirky disposition. The quirkiest, yet sweetest is the original owner's granddaughter, who now manages and basically runs the place with her Jersey vocabulary and knockout smile! There's a billiards table, an English bristle dartboard, and a fabulous sound system for classic rock and karaoke. I will return next time I'm in the area! read more

Always the BEST time! Tara, the owner is the sweet woman ever! The karaoke is fabulous! They can play any song and although there is such a great mix of people no one ever judges, and I feel so comfortable being here, even though I kind of don't fit in completely. No matter what crowd is there you will feel comfortable. The bartenders are nicest can be and they are amazing. This is a cash only place so be prepared. read more

Great wings service and price. Wasn't very busy but had a great atmosphere and the person behind the bar was great

A bartender told me to check this place out yesterday. Open till 3am. The place is filled with the most amazing customers I have ever experienced at a bar. Everyone took turns singing karaoke. The best bar experience I have had. The bartenders were amazing. The energy in the room was unreal. I wish I lived nearby. I would visit daily. read more

Always been a great place. Tara runs the place, she is a beautiful loving and caring person who runs Charlie's Corner. Great place to get a drink and see Tara smile. What is could you ask for? Lots of happy customers. read more

If you thought their bruschetta was amazing, they have the biggest and moistest chicken tenders this side of the Hudson. Stop in and maybe you'll be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Minnie Mouse. read more

This place is the original CHEERS and was around before the series. It's a place where everyone knows your name and you have a sense of belonging there. It's been a family owned business the whole time. The owner, Tara, is the granddaughter of Agnes & Charles Krajewski, who opened the place about 60 years ago. Charlie's Corner has a long history and it's evident everywhere with pictures on the walls through the years. My picture with my friends is still there from many years ago. Here's to another 60 years of Charlie's Corner. read more

A local watering hole filled with the best people! From Daniella the bartender/karaoke host to Tara the owner- it felt like home right away. We come here for work all the time and Charlie's Corner is 100% going to be my go to when I'm in town. We had the best time! read more

A Lot of Fun The old school bar with patrons singing karaoke behind the bar on the stage. A unique spot with some very lively patrons that you can tell love this spot. That says a lot about a place. We hung around for a while and eventually had shots with an older man that I think has either worked there or maybe owns the place. This is when you know a place is friendly, because we entered a locals hangout bar knowing no one. After a couple of hours we were talking to everyone around us. Tip: Several deals on draft beers, but you have to ask for them. If your stuck in Secaucus and like real bars, you know there isn't much around. We stayed in the area to hit a Jets game at MetLife Stafium and thankfully we found this gem. I don't even like karaoke, but everyone was so happy singing and the friendly meter was so high that it just didn't matter. Great spot Thanks read more

Tara is the best and made our Friday night visit one to remember. We were in NJ for Thanksgiving weekend from Boston & Ireland. We all had a blast and couldn't believe how accurate the positive reviews are. Entertainment and authenticity are off the charts. Can't thank you enough Tara!!! read more

LOVE this place. I've been going here periodically for years. The owner AND his lovely daughter Tara are very friendly and kind. Plus, Tara can sing like no other. Great vibe and karaoke of course! The decor is unique; reminds me of bars in Berlin (Germany). You can't take a bad picture here as the background is always colorful. When I have free time (which is rare) I go here to unwind. Parking is always easy and their bar food is delish. PLUS they are open late. What's not to love? read more

Great local bar. Old school. You are back in the tv show Cheers. Regular crowd make you feel welcome.

Fun and peaceful atmosphere. Good vibes all night. Had a fucking blast with the owner. So chill

Easily one of the best karaoke spots around with a dynamite hostess. The owner makes it feel like home, even walking in for the first time.

Charlie's Corner - a game screen with a character on it - Bars Near Me - Secaucus, New Jersey

CHARLIE'S CORNER By cleo 1980 Dancing in a honky tonk bar Harry Crash, Three Finger Whiskey Band tearing up Charlie's Corner. Harry Crash is a marrying man. He romances naive young ladies makes them forever his. When baby arrives Harry packs his guitar and heads for the bar. Last count, Harry was on wife number 5. Glen smoking, drinking his Bud, caught my eye, dying to tell me his story again. "Yeah, I'm lucky to be here tonight. I stuck a rifle in my mouth, pulled the trigger with my toe the trigger jammed." "Yes, Glen I know." Charlie winked, motioned me to follow him down wooden stairs, ceiling to floor gray metal door, blast of icy air shocked our bodies as we walked in. An 8 foot shark, cut in 2. "Sweet Darlin', I gotta shark tooth for you." Billy sits with back to the wall not too long ago his 6' frame weighed 102. The Dr. said," Billy if you don't stop drinking you'll be dead." Two months in a Texas rehab Billy drinks Coke instead. Women of the red neck men listen to Harry sing Willie Nelson tunes, eyeball me dancing on stage wearing cowboy boots rhinestone studded blue body suit, remembering the time their bodies young and prime. A fat lady said," I use ta be a dancer, when you stop dancin' you gonna get fat like me!" Yearly, calendar nailed to the wall witnessed 72 sheets, in 6 years fall. 3:am home, counting tips thinking this is too long a trip. I don't want to be at Charlie's when Harry marries for the 6th time. When Billy's teeth fall out of his head from drinking Coke instead. When Glen tells his story for the 300th time, a drunk pulls out a gun and shoots him dead. It's true I'm overdue to hang up my dancing shoes. read more

I stumbled upon this gem and the memories just keep building up. If you want to get away for some relaxation, chicken wings, and beer, then this dive bar is for you. karaoke is on Saturdays for me. You can ask for more details when you enter Charlie's Corner. The staff is awesome and friendly. If you are from out of town, you can enjoy some down time with a game of pool with your friends in New Jersey at Charlie's Corner. Don't be shy, come on in...and enjoy some summer time, good music, good vibes. read more

*cash only!* Charlies is one of those holes in the wall that you will actually have a good time at. The place isn't exactly high class, but theres a pool table and other random games to play. Oh yeah, and if you feel like you have an amazing voice...they even have karaoke nights! And pretty good specials on buckets of bottles on Weds nights. Cheap drinks, bartenders that are down to earth and very social and entertainment . Ive heard the food is pretty good too! come down if you're looking for a shit show and wanna have a good convo with some characters . read more

One of the place a lot of ppl call *Home* Cause that's exactly how the workers and bartenders make you feel. You can be there one time and feel like you have been going there your whole life. The foods actually really good, and cheap you can get 12 wings for 6 bucks and a cheesesteak with fries for 7. You can be there one time and feel like you have been going there your whole On Monday's and Tuesday's they have dollar 50 drafts and bucket deals on Wednesday. From Thursday to Saturday they don't offer any specials but they fill that void with karaoke and live performances including once or twice a year burlesque shows. They have events regularly including sailor Jerry and Jack Daniels promotions. However if your looking for a ritzy spot to get a Cosmos or Martinis good luck, it's a simple place for the simple man. read more

Charlie's Corner - Bars Near Me - Secaucus, New Jersey

Man, what I would give to have been older in the early 80s. That is when this place was run directly by the original owner and Springsteen wanted to shoot a video at this jersey hole in the wall - at least that's the urban legend... Today, the daughter still runs the show, and man is she super awesome. Whether it's super dead or balls to the walls craziness with the locals and their attempts at karaoke, the lady who runs the show at Charlie's (her name escapes me, shame on me) always makes time to make you feel welcomed --- whether it's small talk, a joke, or some personal anecdotes from her fun-filled crazy life - in either event, she doesn't skip a beat to make some time for you her new or old patrons. The munchies there are cheap and great for when you're boozing. This place has the usual suspects when it comes to what's on tap, like any townie bar, but they also have a fridge that is HELP YOURSELF, that comes full of some tasty craft brews - each week there's a new sixer you can pickup or try one at a time. The female bartenders are all nice, great at cracking jokes, and also make you feel part of the gang. This place is cash only, that's the only downer- well, that and that the ATM they have inside charges you about $2.99, which sucks --- but they make up for that with the fun karaoke, cheap food, and $5 OIL CAN MILLER HIGH LIFES! That's like 3 beers for $5 buckaroos!!! You simply can't go wrong with this place, and in a world where dives are disappearing, especially in NYC --- take a trip across the bridge, grab a cold one and enjoy!!! PS: if you're a marine, you will LOVE THIS BAR!!! read more

I travel all over the country for work; and this is the absolute most welcoming and amazing dive bar I have ever been to. Tara is absolutely incredible, welcomes guests with open arms and is always up for a good chat. I've never felt like such a part of the family upon walking into a bar. If you want a welcoming, fun, easygoing place to have a drink, THIS IS IT. I live in Atlanta, GA, and have never wanted to live up north as bad as I do right now... just for this bar. I swear I would be here every night if I could. If you have a chance to have a drink here, DO IT! You will not only have great drinks at a great price, but you'll make great friends! If I ever come back to this area, I know exactly what bar I'll go to. THANK YOU TARA AND BRIAN. read more

Bar none...no pun intended...my favorite dive bar in the country. Cheap ass beers on tap, 1 pool table which means you wait your turn and meet great local patrons. Phenomenal wings, and staff that makes you feel like you are a local immediately. Slap a 20 on the bar and they will budget your drinks and your change wont be touched by a soul. CANNOT recommend this place more! read more

Best local dive bar. Karaoke on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Staff is always friendly, as well as the regulars. They have a sign that says, "there are no strangers here, only friends that haven't met yet." That definitely fits the atmosphere at Charlie's. They have a kitchen, which is to say they can make anything fried you want. But I think most folks come here for the affordable drinks and the atmosphere. They also have drink specials during the week. read more

Friendly staff, great prices, and the owner (Tara) made us all feel like family. Karaoke, big Jenga, cash only but they have an ATM. Will visit again, no doubt! read more

Small place. Cheap drinks. went on a Friday night and crowd seemed sparse. We went much later in the night, but it seems more like a local hangout than a place people would travel to for a night of drinking - which is fine for me. Very sparkly inside. Mirrors, some sparkly things hanging from the ceiling, golden lighting. Mixed crowd which ranged from young adults, to big burly bikers to hipsters with tattoos. Although one night can't explain the entire culture of a place, it did seem pretty chill with everyone just minding their own business with their specific group. The bar encircled the cash register so there isn't much room between the back of your seat and the wall. If you have friends who happen to be gingerbread men, this would be an ideal place to bring them. I guess it used to be a strip club which explains the circular bar design. Staff seemed really cool. read more

This bar I went to randomly coming home from NYC. It's a typical dive bar. When I went it was all rock music. I'm sure they play other music. They don't accept credit/debit cards which is a bad idea in my option. They have an ATM Inside tho. Beer we had was fair priced and service quick. read more

I give it 2 stars only because for a Saturday night we did not enjoy our night. Was hoping full crowd for karaoke night but not much great entertainment, we just heard and saw Brittany spear or backstreet boys music videos. I loved the service nice bartenders and good, however no tequila?? Only jose cuervo? read more

Charlie's Corner - Anything you wany - Bars Near Me - Secaucus, New Jersey

Cowabunga...recalling my go go days there back in the late 1970's. Clear as a bell! I loved Secaucus; this one my absolute fave dance gig. Warm, happy memories, of a great family run bar! Dig this - a friend and I who have not been in touch for over 35 years recently reconnected via Net - and were reliving former times. E.mailing about my coming home from dancing - regaling him with stories about the bar. Still lovingly remembered, (decades later!) with howls of glee. My best: the old couple that used to come in, anyway.. the wife was jealous of him flirting with the girls. So she would take his teeth. There I'd be, shimmying onstage in a beaded bikini... to the pounding jukebox music, while this geezer would grin up at me...his choppers in the frau's purse!!. OMG, bless 'em all. Charlie's..forever may you wave!!! read more

Charlie's is a great local bar, interesting people, awesome staff, great for a drink after work, or a night to relax. Get a group of friends together and head on over, pool table, and free darts.
