Katrina M. had stumbled upon this place not too long ago and was telling my other friends and I that it was the place to go. The drinks are cheap and strong. The atmosphere is fun with a large dance floor in the center and one lone go-go dancer... on a pedestal. I am not exactly sure where Charlie's is going with their mixture of drag queens and gay cowboys, but I'll roll with it. I am all about the western shirts anyways. Let's not forget Katrina M.'s favorite thing about the bar, the disco cowboy boots. That's right, forget about disco balls (even though it would be just as fitting), boots are much better.
Each night has a certain theme and there were too many for my buzzed mind to wrap around. Tuesdays are drag queen bingo night starting at 9:30pm. I might just grab one of my Filipino moms and "drag" them along. Thursdays are all day country music and half price drinks. Line dancing lessons are provided as well. I caught that much. There are inked nights to show off your tattoos for free booze. Underwear nights for those who have an aversion to pants.
Sunday apparently is not one of the hopping nights. We came around 1:30am and it was semi busy at the bar, but barren everywhere else. The room gets smoky quickly and the ventilation is not that good. The bartenders are fun. A mixture of some sass and honest is appreciated. While one made fun of our initial hesitance to drink and our quick jump to doing shots, another was kind enough to tell us to wait a few minutes until they started their happy hour. After 2am, beers were $1.75.
