I'm not sure WHY an establishment that is supposed to SUPPORT LGBTQ clientele would have as there first person of contact such an unwelcoming and truly unhappy person to represent their bar. Unfortunately this will be my last time trying to support a business that WAS SUPPOSED to be kind and welcoming to all! And in this climate of hatred towards us it saddens me that this establishment is presenting itself as a part of the problem! Sad!

I fully realize that this bar was probably not created with me in mind. I enjoy wearing leather,…read morebut probably not as much as they do :-) However, it is also a very inclusive and ecclectic space. I've been there a couple times for a very unique comedy show that you really don't find anywhere else. I have found the staff to be very friendly. The beer to be nice and cold (and reasonably priced), and the patrons (both regular and new) of the place are a cool and fun group. Tracy, the bartender is outstanding.

The service at the bar has gotten a lot better. No more waiting, really! The bar gets very busy,…read moreand people are super nice. At first... it felt like we wouldn't be accepted here, but we learned over time that... everyone is accepted, it just takes time for people to get to know you! The bar has spent money to update things, and the front area for sure is nice and welcoming, and the dance floor and lounge area out back are also nice! The red lights have added just the right glow. The bar owner and the staff have always been nice; super nice. The bar manager is a sweetheart. There have been a few patrons who... over the years have maybe not been the nicest, but the bar staff always handles it appropriately. They have signs about lewd behavior now posted around, and they come by to check out areas with regularity, as well as to grab your empty drink cups, etc etc etc -- a fun space to dance and just people watch; handsome furry men getting sweaty -- I can't think of anything better. :) It can be super packed busy... or not very. I usually check Google Maps before heading out just to see like... how busy it is. It sometimes takes a bit to get hopping, but once it does? It's busy busy. The front areas are very narrow is my only complaint sometimes, and I'm a small guy... so I know that some people are like... grrr at having to wait for a path to clear at times... but it never takes long. Drinks are reasonable. Clothes check is (usually) available. Various DJs come and spin. It's a good time... and everyone may just be as shy as you I've learned. Say hi! Most people enjoy being admired, just saying! ;) -- See you boys out there! :D

The bar had just opened and it was quiet. Lots of tvs. Fun bartenders and unassuming prices make this a good choice. Wine was cheap and so was the fireball and vodka. Imagine that, cheap Fireball... By 7pm it was a big crowd and fun energy was happening. On our way out we had to have some taqueria style tacos from Tacos Martin then went back in to chow down and watch this week's episode of RPDR replayed at 7:30. I'm not a gay bar aficionado but I know what I'm comfortable with and what feels fun and this is it. Kitty corner across the street is the brother bar Trade. Haven't been there but it's a local fave too.

It rained for a bit on the patio but we had no problem bringing the party inside. Quick and friendly service. They even had servers running around topping off drinks which was super nice, because you didn't have to go back to the bar. A little pricey but if you time things right and come early, you can get what you paid for. The ghost kitchen was delicious. We ordered "the three way" - chips with guac, salsa and queso. The salsa was my favorite. We had to track down a cook to get a few chip refills (for free). Super fun spot for a mid day drink.

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.
