I'm a trans person and I've felt nothing but safe here. I'm only giving it 4 stars not because of the staff or the bar itself it's more towards the bathroom set up. Their happy hour is amazing!

Waaaayy too clicky atmosphere! Two stars instead of 1 because the employees were pretty chill!

Only service complaint I have is how security handles IDs of trans men. Yes, that picture was me, my ID still says "F" and my dead name, still me, even though last time I got my picture taken for my ID was 2015, back when I was 245 lbs, and I am 179 lbs now, been online since!

Their happy hour is buy one get one and last until 8 PM. There is also a nice patio space which is great for the warmer weather. The only downside of it is that it is right on Colfax so there can be unwelcome guests as you are enjoying your beverage. Overall though want to support this local gay bar!

This is a really fun place! Love the games they have to play and that the bartenders are friendly.read more

I don't appreciate the foul language used in their "drag shows"…read more Every other word is F**k, Sh**t and Nig**r. It is insulting and it gets really, really old. When I go out in the evening, it would be great if the performers would stop being so "graceless". Show some dignity (for yourself) & towards our community. Please, Keep your racists, (unnecessarily) foul language and insulting comments to yourself. Venus, who performs on Tuesday evening is funny, beautiful and sings like a professional. I recommend her shows! 9-12:00 every Tuesday night. Everybody loves the Charlie's dancers! I agree. The dancers are terrific. This lip sinking, ghetto behavior speaks CLEARLY FOR WHAT IT IS: Classless, annoying and insulting. The only reason drag does well at Charlie's between 8-12:00 pm is because we all ARE WAITING FOR THESE SHOWS TO END...! (Do that crap downstairs!) Most of my friends just want to dance, and listen to the best DJs in Denver... with the BEST SOUND SYSTEM ON CAP HILL. FYI: THE STAFF @ CHARLIE'S CAN'T BE BEAT! Excellent service. The bar & bathrooms are spotless. The staff is ALWAYS Kind, respectful & adorable. The bar is being very well managed. The "entertainment" needs TO BE REFORMED. I feel the need to express these concerns about how "out of control and offensive" these shows have become. The drag queens are USUALLY drunk. I express my criticisms out loud, because my friends are too afraid of becoming "unwelcome" @ Charlie's (and/or) in the gay community. I probably won't be welcome back...but there it is. Make the entertainment a great evening for all of us and lets do some reflecting about how we present ourselves to the public. Thank you for your attention.

We found street parking and walked over. Metal detectors and ID check at the front. Of course something buzzed for me. Quick pat down and I was in. They have a coat check which is handy. Since my last time here it's been redone. Not surprising as that was years ago. So many rooms of fun and different styles of music. Lots of bars tucked everywhere so you can always buy a drink. And food trucks outside too. We wandered in the different rooms, enjoying a drink and looking at the merchandise for sale. So many talented vendors. The VIP tickets came with a settee and bubbly. We toasted my friend and enjoyed relaxing there between our . The gender neutral restrooms threw me off a little as the urinals are out in the open. I've been in ones with stalls but this was a first for me. The alley was cool as you can play games and eat at the food truck and drink at the bar. It was cold weather so we didn't stay long in the alley. Back inside for more dancing. Little platforms to dance on. And then dancers made an appearance on the main stage. What a fun night.

What i will say is that this place definitely has an issue sith men who cant keep their hands to themselves as multiple of my friends were groped wothout consent and after we left we were approached multiple times by very drunk men one of whom started screaming at us and getting in our faces. I like this place a lot but if the manchild issue is always this bad i will be avoiding and i strongly recommend against anyone coming here alone.

Subdays are arguably one of the best days to go as they typically have beer bust for stupid cheap. Unlimited beer or seltzer as do many other gay bars in the area. Buddies however, has a decent bar menu. The food is just enough of a variety to not feel skimped. Love it here.

This is so exciting! We're here for the soft opening of Buddies. It's fantastic to see Andrew,…read moreJack, Draven, and the rest of the crew open up their own bar. It's a great location on Colfax and the bar is beautiful. We've known these guys for years, and by far, they are some of the best bartenders in Denver. I'm so happy for them and will make sure we do our part to keep them in business. Parking is an issue, but they are trying to work out something. The patio is great for summer nights, and the decor is classy. Please check out Buddies. You'll love it. More changes and events are coming!

I have seen Lil Devil's along Broadway for years. Glad we decided to finally give it a try. Fun,…read morehole in the wall kinda bar that is very LGBTQIA+ friendly. Chill bar vibe with couches or high top tables to sit at. Patio offers a lot as well, but it was a bit too cold on the night we went to give it a try. The bartenders take very good care of you throughout the evening. You can order at the bar or they will come to you and you can order through them. That's a nice gesture, especially in the evening when it tends to get very busy. When going to use the restroom, be aware that you will need to cross over the dart line. So, keep those eyes peeled for those tossing a dart or you'll end up being the bullseye. I did not try the food, but it looked like, from the menu, they have a solid menu for bar food. A fun time was had for sure!

R&R Lounge continues to be featured year after year in the Westword's 100 Bars You Can't Live Without and I would agree with this bar being on the list consistently.

Thanks R&R for being fabulous, as always.
