For my 150th review I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate it by reviewing (what I consider) a Phoenix landmark. My most recent visits were for the pre-Halloween party with a Rocky Horror theme and on Saturday for the Witches Ball. I absolutely love the sistah's in drag with the raunchy commentary between sets.
However, it does irritate me that purses bigger than a clutch are not allowed into Charlie's. Where are the diva's supposed to keep their make-up!?
The bar is spacious and there are enough people to go around so you don't feel tied to the same group all night long if you are looking to meet anyone new. But what I thought was most important was the drinks and the prices. I ordered a rum an Coke and watched as the bartender filled the glass with rum, then splashed some Coke on top and only charged me $4. I was in shock. And every drink after that always came filled to the brim with liquor and splashed with something else.
