| - As a gay man, I want to like Charlie's. I like guys with scruff. It's a gay cowboy bar. Should be heaven, right? Unfortunately, on any given night only 10% of the patrons are attractive. A shockingly low number. The crowd here is usually either over 45, overweight, aggressively short, or possibly adequate. If you look hard though, you can find some gems.
On the plus side, the bar is huge. Large dance floor surrounded by mirrors that plays country music every night and only switches to the good stuff around 1am on Saturdays. The outside bar area is definitely a sweeter spot. There are lots of wooden benches and places to sit or lasso yourself to. There is even a stage on top of a volleyball court for a drag show. Be warned, the drag show is the standard 6'2'' fat man who makes for a scary woman with a bitchy bark and limited mobility.
The one plus is the taco cart that pulls up right to the bar on Saturdays and sells cheap and delicious tacos, quesadillas, and such.
I have never had a good time at Charlie's without drinking enough to forget I was at Charlie's. If that is your deal, then you will enjoy this place. If not, you will just wish you were in a bigger and better city.
