First, for a divey-style bar, the barkeep was really friendly. And they have good drinks. He made a stiff dirty martini, an espresso martini, and a few of their Mezcal-based "Smoke and Berries." Outside, we feasted on cheap eats from (I can't remember the name), but we ordered everything from tacos to nachos to fries and I think empanadas? Great music, great lighting, service, and drinks.

From the jump, the energy was chill but not boring... lights were warm, music had bounce, and the whole place felt curated without being corny. Bartender energy? Different. No menus needed... we gave a vibe, he poured what matched it. Not sure what was in the glass, but it slapped. You ever drink something so good you start reevaluating your life choices? That. Clean pours. Balanced. Not over-mixed. Just enough sweetness to get you in trouble. Crowd was mixed, stylish... looked like people who know where to be without needing to post about it. The seating's cozy enough to post up and talk but open enough to float around if you're trying to socialize. It had that lounge-meets-night-out energy. Bathrooms were clean... that matters when the drinks are flowing. Never felt like a dive. Never felt like a bottle-service trap either. It's got identity... almost like a cocktail bar that grew up on rap albums and old money. It's giving... if Frank Ocean curated a bar playlist then dipped out the back with your ex.

I already know this post will be taken down by management as they cannot accept criticism. 1) They have started to implement the use of an AI program even after excessive backlash from the community, going so far as to double down and gaslight the community at large. 2) They have consistently been unprofessional when it comes to criticism or negative feedback of the bar. They dirty delete comments, reviews, and block people for speaking out. 3) They do not have any tact for dealing with customer relations. The community continues to feel unheard and many no longer feel safe being customers in fear of retaliation from a bad experience or any possible feedback. This is not how a business should be run. I cannot in good conscience continue to support the bar. I am highly disappointed will not be returning until things change.

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.

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.

Twenty minutes later it was frozen and couldn't be poured. We ordered shots with our drinks and somehow it was translated to put them in our drinks. What is the purpose of ordering shots, if you're not going to shoot them??!!! The establishment was really warm, it was cooler outside than it was inside. The male bartender was slacking, we ended canceling our last round of drinks, because he was too busy flirting with female customers. The food was good. I have been to this location a couple of times. I also went to where they were located before, prior to this move. I feel like things have gone down. Their sports bar next door is only open a few days a week. I definitely wouldn't make a special trip out here again, since I live on the east side of the valley.
