| - I love this place! I know Larry and Diane, and they are like the nicest people. I have been coming here since 2004. It's a great place to hang out and blow off steam. I personally have never had a negative experience with the owners, staff, or other patrons. I recommend it to anyone who likes places like this.
Description:
I hate using the term "dive" because that implies the place is a dump, and Charley's certainly isn't that. It's more a sports bar, really than a dive, that is also a biker friendly bar (I would not say it's 100% biker bar, just there are regular patrons who are in bike clubs that visit on certain nights), but it is kept clean, and is always kept nice and cool in the summer.
On Friday and Saturday nights it does get a little rowdy at times, with karaoke and hosted games. This is more a bar than a restaurant, so you do have a few regulars that are almost always there, and a couple are almost always wasted, but everybody minds themselves, no one really gets out of line and respects both Charley's and its patrons. For the most part, the patrons are friendly and respect everyone else's space, even when it is crowded, and the owners are on top of it if someone does step out of line. I've never been made to feel anything but welcome, there. In 10 years, I've only seen one case where they had to actually kick someone out, and the person was just wasted and out of line and were treated a lot more respectfully than they deserved, but things weren't physical or at a level where police had to be involved. How many bars can say that? Basically, its just a locally-owned, neighborhood working class, sports-party bar that serves great food and drinks at great prices.
If you don't mind that, then this is your place!
About the drinks, food, and staff:
The draft beer is always fresh and cool tasting, and mixed drinks are poured with either an even or heavy hand. I've never had a weak drink there.
The food is actually great. I go there on steak night, where you get a good size 10 OZ steak for $11. But they also have awesome burgers, wings, and Phili cheese steaks, the latter being among the best I've had. The food has always been well-cooked and I have never had a bad experience ordering the food.
The servers are always pleasant and friendly, and are very attentive. Sometimes it gets busy and you may have to wait a few minutes to get a refill on your pitcher or take your order, but 90% of the time, you get served right away. Even when you do wait, it's because the servers are taking someone's order that's ahead of you, which is reasonable, and you typically don't have to wait long.
Both the drinks and the food are very reasonably priced!
I very much recommend Charley's Place!
