| - This was my first time at a "country" bar, and gosh darn it, I had knee slapping, hoe-down of a good-time! We went on a Friday night and the place was packed. They have one of the biggest parking lots I've ever seen at a gay club, and it was completely full by 11PM (best try to park on one of the side streets off of 7th Ave. (I think that's the name of the street).
This was probably the best mix of gays I've ever seen at a bar...older, younger, country, preppy, butch, queens and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves. I believe they serve your beer in a mini-pitcher, the outdoor area is GIANORMOUS, and there is a little take-out window in the outdoor area which serves Mexican food from the trailer in the parking lot. Now, one needs to prepare to hear country music...it's just something that's going to happen, but if you're their with good people and you're having a good time, why not! Also, they have line dancing inside on the dance floor. The bartenders are attractive in that rugged tough guy sort of way and they seemed fairly nice.
All-in-all Charlie's was a hoot and I would go back if I was ever back in Phoenix. Also...I hear this place is very much the "after hours" hang out all nights of the week.
