Overall very good wings. Service was less than pleasant. Staff was clearly short handed. The atmosphere was okay. Overall, wasn't worth the wait and service we got read more

What a place for low life. Drugies drop in from short time renters. Not a family place for sure. Not sure who you might be sitting next to you. They stay open very late to attract the drunks that have already answered last call If you want a dive, go ahead. Not a place that you would feel comfy if you were not a regular. Too bad, because owner is a a good fellow. read more

Two lobsters for 24.99, really nicely poured drinks and a friendly server. Eat on the deck, have a drink and dig into the crustacean!

This place claims ids from out of state are fake. the food sucks. ................got kicked out for not knowing what tequila I wanted in my margarita read more

We visited Charlie's on 8/29. I can honestly say that we had some of the best food I've ever eaten. We shared a buffalo tender plate. Hand breaded delicious tenders and their fries are prepared in beef tallow. So good. We could have stopped there. We did not. I had the beef taco trio and they were definitely the best I've had. My son had the blt wrap served with more of those delicious fries. Services was friendly and there were lots of regulars coming in when we left. The bartender, whose name escapes me, greeted every one of them by name. Will definitely go back!!! read more

I don't know why people don't give this place more stars. The food is probably the best bang for your dollar on the strip. The beer selection is easily the best on the strip . Our waitress Spencer was very accommodating for a 12 top that we had on a Friday night. the lobster special is always there and it's always fresh, the barbecue pork tacos are fantastic with the habanero. We always enjoy going there and will continue to go there every year as we have. Just wanted to say thank you again to the staff and Spencer and the owner for always doing such a great job. read more

The bar staff treated us incredibly bad and when I asked to talk to the manager she told me to F myself without me even getting to explain the situation, came with my family to have a nice weekend and I've never been treated so bad from a buisness before in my life! I tried to be respectful but it never mattered! I'll never be back and you shouldn't waste your money here either. read more

$1 chicken wings and tenders? In this economy?? I'll take it! I'm giving 2 stars for the great deals this place has but that's about it. The vibes, atmosphere and clientele are less than stellar... read more

Went in with my girlfriend for a casual night out, karaoke, a couple drinks. She shows her valid Vermont ID. The staff takes it to the back, disappears, then comes back demanding a second form of ID "showing her age." What do they expect, people to bring passports and birth certificates to a bar? When we didn't magically produce that, they snatched my beer, walked us to the door, and acted like we were the problem. Thankfully they returned the ID so we didn't have to get police involved. For the record: L Street, Bernie's, The Goat and Wally's don't have this issue. They know how to properly check an out-of-state ID without embarrassing paying customers. If you can't train staff to recognize IDs from a neighboring state, you shouldn't be serving alcohol at all! Avoid, plenty of other spots nearby that actually want your business. read more

After waiting over an hour and a half for lobsters we just paid for drinks and left. Since we never got our food I can't say if it was good or not. read more

The waitress tried at first but was overwhelmed. By the end she had just given up. Not nearly enough experience and/or help. No management ANYWHERE. The food was good but didn't make up for the experience. read more

Its a great place if you want to catch influenza B, the place was so filthy the sleeve of my shirt was sticking to the top of the bar. I came home and not long after was extremely sick. Its the only place I went within the past week. read more

Great food with great service. Restaurant/Pub atmosphere with friendly staff and customers. It a win, win. Spencer, bartender, waiter, official greater, makes u very welcome. Give it a try. read more

This place is wildly inconsistent from one week to the next. It's out of the way, has no parking, only one server working the whole place during the day, and dark restrooms as if we still used oil lanterns...BUT if you come during the evening on a summer night and order the twin lobster deal ($20), you will find 2 lobsters fat to the brim, steamed to perfection so that the slightest tug will pull a claw free and your lobster tail isn't shrunken to a toothpick. You couldn't order the same thing and get that level of perfect on any of those beachfront flashy joints just a few blocks down the strip. Believe me, I've tried. The small pepperoni pizza is perfectly crisp, great amount seasoning for the red sauce, and quality cheese pull. Now if you wait too long though and get there after the karaoke in winter time and they shut down their lobster deal for the summer, it ain't worth the trek! The burgers are stout and undercooked in the middle, and hearing all the drunk singers gets old after a while. read more

My husband and I stoped in for lunch at 12:25, he ordered shrimp tacos I ordered Cobb salad. 30 mins later still no food. Spoke to the waitress, her excuse was the cook didn't have the chicken ready. I offered to change my order and questioned why there wasn't better communication, all she could say it would be 3 mins more. 15 mins later I was at the car to leave, waitress came out on the porch and said it was ready. We went back in, I explained that I am diabetic and felt a little sinking feeling, my sugar was getting low. We went back in to be presented with burnt, dry, shredded overdone chicken on a wilted bed of lettuce with 2 tomatoes and a few slices of old greasy Avacado. I ate a bit and asked for the bill. Since I didn't feel well at this point I left my husband to pay the bill. He said the waitress was angry and full of excuses. We were trying to leave quickly and without a fuss. I wasn't well and you cant fix anything when someone is in defense mode. We left, paid the bill in full and drove down to Lola's for a fresh salad and a cup of tea! Shame shame shame! read more

Great food, drinks and atmosphere!! We come here every year, there's usually no wait since it's at the southern side of the strip. read more

Just wanted to say that the bartenders at Charlie's are top notch, always attentive, but with attitude! Fun and friendly atmosphere and welcoming. Good pub fare, and the daily specials are great!! read more

Great service, good food, fun atmosphere both up on the deck and at the bar downstairs, highly recommend if your looking for a chill place to go on the beach! read more

I would like to start by saying I've been to Charlies a half dozen times and the food is great! Everytime I go the service is outstanding Mel one of the bartenders knows how to make a mean drink! The ambiance is nice too! They have a nice rooftop deck with a bar which is great in the summer time. read more

love this place!! great atmosphere and the bartenders are the best! best place to go after the beach or a night out!

Great food- good pub menu options. Awesome food & drink specials every day ~ Happy hour!!! We always have good service.

just tried this place 2 weeks ago. karaoke was a blast! beers were cold and service was great!

What a shithole. Drinks? Lol let me start there.. ordered a Charlie rum bucket and was brought a bucket of mango juice and ice. Ordered a shot of rum to put into it and STILL couldn't taste it. What a huge let down. Place is a rip off. read more

If you are a talented singer and think you have a chance at winning the $1,000 karaoke prize, THINK AGAIN. They like to keep that money "in the family". Contests are obviously decided ahead of time in favor of friends or employees. Don't waste your time and money sitting through this dog and pony show of a contest. read more

Okay so this was our first time here and we thought it was a great night to sit outside. There are 4 bars in one building which is great! Okay so I was impressed by the cocktails I had. The food NOT so much!!! The broccoli was cold I mean COLD, I had the Seafood Trio bad choice the taste was horrible I bit into the scallop and it was partly raw, gross!!! I just didn't eat my dinner. My husband had a burger how can you screw up a burger?? He asked for Medium and he got well done hockey puck. The appetizers we got nachos it was not great but okay. The cheese was melted but dry, all the fixings the toppings came separately you basically had to top your own nachos. The chicken wings were okay but no taste. The waitress Amy was great she was attentive and right on top of the drinks. I do not think we will return. read more

It's Hampton beach. This isn't about the food. Having said that the food is not terrible here. The lady who runs the karaoke is awesome and the bartender is a nice dude. Great spot for Dranks. read more

This place was amazing we just picked it randomly for dinner cuz we were on a road trip but it actually made us stay longer than planned. Service, food and entertainment was amazing. read more

Charlie's is a great local establishment. Fantastic food, fantastic staff, and great karaoke! I highly recommend Charlie's. Whether it's for lunch, dinner, or entertainment. A fun place to bring your kids during vacation as well. A blast for all ages! Rappy read more

It's Monday so You expect it to be 3-4 people. They have karaoke and the people singing are pretty good! This is my first time coming here to this side of New Hampshire. From what I have been told this a summer beach location. The whole area gets packed. The bartender Jessica is amazing. I would come back because of her exceptional people skill. I like that there are actually young people that will come over this late unlike my trip to Maine. This has been a good experience. Even with only 5 or 6 people they are very enthusiastic. Check them out if your in town. I might give them 4 Stars if it stays consistent. However, I don't know if I ever will come back unless there is another contract. Come and check this place out. Sadly the kitchen closes at 10. Definitely not Providence. Lol BTW The pizza slices are good even when the kitchen is closed. read more

Ordered 3 drinks and were charged for 5 , didn't notice it til after I paid and looked at the bill. Bad karaoke, all I could think was Jon Taffer would freak out at this place "do you think customers want to listen to that?!" read more

- DJ was absolutely rude, kept complaining about drinks on the dance floor even though waitress served the drinks. - DJ cornered family member and made her feel uncomfortable - attracts dudes that like to grope girls God awful place. read more

We had a blast at Charlie's the other night. Great drinks, great beer on tap. $2 tacos! Definitely bar food ... the service was quick. Lots of people for a Tuesday night. Karaoke was so much fun and so many people sang. The young lady running it (so sorry I can't remember her name) has an amazing voice. We will definitely return, everyone was so friendly! read more

I like it, I don't love it. Here are the pro's and con's for late night drinks( after dinner 9/10pm on). Pro's: it's a hot spot for karaoke and it's always going on. The drinks aren't too expensive and there is seating by the karaoke stage, as well as a bar, so you don't have to go to far to enjoy the evening. The upstairs offers a different environment from the downstairs portion-think more clubby-plus there's both indoor and outdoor options with their own respective bars depending on the weather, so you have options. Con's: it's not nice-at all-very divey, and perhaps that's part of the appeal. The bathrooms are small, dark, something is always broken, they smell and they're very very unclean (garbage, stuff in the toilets, etc). There not a lot of variety for the drinks, and the bartenders favor the locals. The locals dominate this place, so expect a long wait for karaoke, and you may not be able to find a table/seat depending on the time. Also, there's usually a line outside, so if it's cold or the weather is bad, come prepared. It's a low-brow, divey spot, so if that's your thing, this is your place. It's just not good enough to be the cool dicey bar I wish it would be, and believe me-I've come in and out of season. read more

Went with my family to a concert at Hampton Beach casino but decided to get dinner at Charlie's 1st. I have a fairly picky group but my family was excited to see the menu, it had something for everyone. James was our server. He was absolutely amazing!! Though it was just him and Mel working he was patient with us and acommidated every need, he offered suggestions and was honest when we asked questions. It wasn't super busy but still busy enough for just 2 servers. The food was great, and drinks were spot on. Only issue we had was the apps and food came out at the same time. James was actually upset about this and apologized to us for it. Totally not his fault and we were fine with it. Mel was also amazing and kept coming by to check on us while she was tending to her tables. Our 1st time at Charlie's deff won't be our last. read more

I really like the bar and space it has especially with COVID19 and the crowded bars around. However, this place advertises a ton of beers on draft but I've been here 4 times in the past three months and I am not Lying when I say every single one I have tried had been skunked. Dogfish, bud light, bud, Newburyport IpA, stone face IPA. It's then I realized nobody orders a draft beer here-everyone has a mixed drink or bottled beer. Cannot comment on the food but people seem to like it. Let's fix this Charlie's-drop it down to 10 beers on tap so it's manageable for your staff. read more

Solid beach bar with easy vibe Food is good- single steamed lobster 12.99 is pretty solid deal! A number of beers on tap along with pool and karaoke- can't be bad, right ?! They also had French tv on for our French Canadian friends! read more

Don't go there, we walked in and the bartender / waitress was not wearing a mask, so walked left. It's infuriating when you risk going to a restaurant during a pandemic only to learn that the employees don't care about the health and safety of the people trying to help them. read more

Well... speaking in terms of dinner only, I will not order from here again. In my 38 year old opinion, I wouldn't have spent this type of money in Boston and if I did the food would have been prepared in a manner to match the price. Poor quality, poor effort. I will not waste my time or money ordering from here again. read more

Had to post this in regards to the numb-skull John W below. I was actually in the establishment while he was in there, and though the bar tender explained to him that it would be a few minutes for the oven to be turned on and get his slice of pizza he didn't seem to get the message as he became rude and irritating to surrounding patrons. I come in quite a few times each month. The wait staff is always friendly, the food is good. This is the place to go with some friends or even coworkers to hang out grab some food & drinks and enjoy a good night. Clearly the meat ball below gave a bad review on a slice of pizza & beer. I love how he judges people by their looks in his review. If he wasn't a prick maybe he wouldn't have been thrown out. I would highly recommend Charlie's Tap House if you're in or around the Hampton area. Keep in mind being at the beach during the offseason it is quite and low key, but during the summer it is one of the busiest places on the beach front strip. Check it out for yourselves. read more

Ent in for a drink sat down at the bar hadn't had a drop a liquor before entering their establishment, instantly denied service. Very prejudice bartender. I asked to speak to the manager who was also very prejudice. Unless you got there everyday and drink until you piss yourself you're not allowed service I guess. read more
