My first visit to Charlie's was amazing. But every visit after that has left me disappointed. We went last December and I actually left without eating any of my meal. The burger I ordered was over done and my bun was so hard it could have been used as a brick. Our waitress rarely checked back with us and didn't seem to care that I hadn't eaten any of my meal or that I didn't want a to-go box for it.
Then we wanted to enjoy some late night drinks with some friends another evening and even though they are advertised as being open until 10pm on Saturdays, they were closed when we arrived at 9. I inquired on their Facebook page and after 2 weeks I finally received a reply that they close early if they don't have much business. But if you're closed you won't get any business at all and now I don't have much faith that you will be open the next time I want late night drinks and therefore may go to another bar altogether.
Not sure what happened to Charlie's but I'm still holding out hope that they can turn things around. It seems that they have gotten busier since they opened up to weddings but we also went there one night when there was a wedding and it basically makes it impossible for someone to come in for a meal or even a drink when there is a wedding going on. Even just having 1 more bartender down in the speakeasy during a wedding would go a long long way.
