| - I'm originally from Boston and I spend a lot of time in Manhattan (NYC), where the nightlife in both places is some of the best in the country. I went to Char's for the first time this past Saturday night with my best friend, who had been before and told me how great it was. I read the reviews on Yelp and was intrigued. I thought to myself, "there's no way that this little, converted old house is going to be that much fun", but I agreed to go anyway and I'm glad that I did.
We got to Char's at around 10pm and there was no where to park in the lot, so we parked down a side street not too far away. There was no line at the door, so we paid the $6 cover and went in. It's hard to describe the atmosphere because there's such a variety of people, which in my opinion is great! There were college students wearing jeans and polo shirts, to middle aged men and women dressed for a night on the town, to even older gentlemen wearing suits and ties. Every age, every ethnicity, etc just made it easy for anyone to feel comfortable.
The whole building was rocking to the live band, with Lady J doing the vocals. The place was packed and there were only 2 bartenders that I saw but they really kept up with the customers. I didn't wait more than a few minutes for a drink the whole night...really impressive because I've been in bars with half as many patrons and have had to wait 10+ minutes for a drink that ended up not tasting right. Whether you want to dance or just people watch, you're sure to have a good time. I'll definitely be going back!
