Surprisingly not too crowded for a Saturday night. Solid beer selection, and the ski ball is such a plus :) Would definitely go back during happy hour to try the pizza! read more

Free pizza, chill atmosphere, good deal on the drinks- quite lovely for a divey bar in Brooklyn! Ooo and they have skee ball for a dollar!!

Has nobody mentioned that this bar smells like a dirty mop? It's nauseating, had a beer here once not too long ago, then went back this weekend, we couldn't stand the smell so we left. Two stars for the prices and beer menu but I would have to be wasted to hang out here. read more

The BEST dive bar. Great deals on drinks and a good spot to play games and hang with friends. Love the happy hour idea & deals on pints/ shots combo. Will be returning! read more

Really enjoyed the vibe of this place. The beers were okay- I mean, what can you really expect, right? I liked the fact that you had the option to play games since most bars that I've been to really don't have much to offer in terms of activities. Definitely will be returning. read more

I love the drink and pizza theme. Very funky spot to chill and play games while having a drink. For every drink I believe you get a ticket for a pizza. The drinks was made right. I just wish theu told us at the bar that the ticket is good till 8p to get a pizza. We didnt know and missed the time. read more

Want a cheap beer and an entire free brooklyn pizza? The Charleston not only has this awesome deal all of the time, but is always dependably playing some cheesy movie classic a la Robocop 2 and some interesting tunes. It's a dirty hipster Williamsburg scene, but super fun and laid back. Went there for a friend's DJ night on Mondays, not too crowded, but weekends its popping until the wee hours of the morning. Simplicity is beautiful sometimes. read more

This place has okay decor, cheap beers, and a free personal pizza with every order. A great place to pop in after a couple of hours of drinking and get something in your stomach. This is my friend Jeff's favorite place to hang out. I don't see myself being a regular, but I am sure I will be back several times over read more

Hmm sort of dive bar but not. Whatever it may be, I enjoyed the environment, drink prices and the personal pan pizzas! Fairly big bar with seating. Tables available and a dance floor in the back Well drinks were $5 each, so amazing. Well maybe not? This was my first official time drinking in BK rather than Manhattan and comparably well drinks are much more. Pizza wasn't free when I came like some other reviewers mentioned...don't know why. It was only $1 though and totally worth it. $1 for additional toppings. read more

Old school dive bar. Great juke box. Go for the divey vibe. They also do free pizza.

This has got to be THE BEST pina colata I've ever had. Great bartender. $1 pizza.

This place reminds me of old school East Village (those of you over 30 will understand). Hilarious tongue-in-cheek music, cute long haired boys, even cuter short haired gals, and the kind of place you just want to drink cheap beer with your homies at til the sun comes up. Plus - really good hard bands. read more

This is a great bar, and I usually hate W-burg. Interesting space (despite the weird rubber seats), lots of room, cheap drinks, free pizzas. Rude bartenders when I was there, per usual, but they played movies on the tv which is always a bonus. read more

Remember when the Charleston gave you a free slice of pizza with each drink? Those were the days. I still like the Charleston for a drunken good time. It's loud, raucous, and dirty. Prime Brooklyn dive bar. read more

Decent bar upstairs, but the music venue downstairs is really small and claustrophobic. Water leaking problem when it rains means the downstairs gets semi-flooded. read more

Someone else here said it best. Great way to start or end a night. Free pizza with a drink. Great playlist. Good bartenders. Reasonable prices-especially with the Pizza! read more

Cool place! Casual with decent prices and $1.00 pizza. Will go back!

Cheap drinks are cool and there are sears. Not very clean, but I'd come here for a chill date or quick drinks for a birthday.

So, this bar is only ok to start with. It's kind of divey and they give you mediocre pizza with any drink order during certain hours and that's ok. The reason for my low rating is because of the difficulty we have had with their management. My husband had opened a tab at the bar and accidentally left both his license and credit card without closing it. We realize this is an inconvenience to the bar and our own fault. However, we don't live in the area so going back for it would have been difficult. We tried calling many times, but the phone rings endlessly with no answer and no voicemail. We then messaged the bar through the contact us option on the website and when the manager, David, did email back it was not friendly or helpful, but instead rude and sarcastic. We eventually came up with a plan to send a self addressed stamped envelope to the bar so they could return the credit card and license. Two weeks later we got the envelope back with a note that it had insufficient address, although it was exactly the address given by David and listed on their website. We also have not gotten a response from David in three weeks, although my husband has been emailing him daily. Last week we finally made the trip to go back to get the license and credit card, but the bar was closed for construction, which was not listed on their website, and as I mentioned no one answers the phone there. We have now had to cancel the credit card and will have to report the license as lost to the police due to identity theft concerns. If we could get in touch with anyone there we could ask them to drop the license in any mailbox as the usps will return it to us for free, but there seems to be no way to contact anyone. I realize I just wrote a novel, but I'm sure you could understand that I'm extremely frustrated with a problem that could be easily solved by anyone with a little bit of consideration. read more

I think anyone that has ever been to North Brooklyn has dropped into the Charleston. I've seen countless shows here and have wasted several Saturday nights here. It's just one of those establishments that isn't exactly good or bad. It just is what it is. It's right off Bedford Ave. It's definitely a place to oogle babes. read more

...this crazy place! Really cheap and really strong drinks, just hope you dont have to put up with Joanne. Raging a**hole! They're pretty famous for their bloody marys and she refuses to make them most of the time. You would think that she is the customer, and a rude one at that. Aside from her rude self, when you buy a drink there you get a personal cheese pizza, and to add any topping is a $1. Cool place and love the location in Brooklyn, but wow Joanne has got to go!!! I give it three stars for cheap drinks and pizza, and zero to Joanne. read more

I dig it. Free pizza, good beer, lot's of mixed company, not too many hipsters, good location.

So what, they don't have free pizza anymore - it's still a frakin' awesome bar. I am a man of simple pleasures - I like whiskey, geek culture, beer, punk rock, food and free wi-fi. This place offers all of the aforementioned needs that i enjoy. It has good deals on drinks, and awesome kitchen in the building (Honey Chiles) and always a good movie or music playing for ambiance. Now, when I say good flick/music I mean watching 'Point Break' or 'Kick-Ass' and listening to Cocksparrer or a variety of punk or metal bands. It has an awesome patio on Bedford where you can drink, smoke, read, eat and people-watch all in ten minutes (yeah, if you didn't already know, people watching is quite interesting on Bedford). The staff and patrons, for the most part, are very welcoming and do remember faces. So, if you put your time in, they know who you are and consider you part of the pack. They always have great shows in the basement, a fun bout of trivia on Tuesdays starting at 9pm and look for the Dread-ator. read more

Bars in Williamsburg are like Starbucks (how do you make that plural?) in Manhattan; there's one everywhere you turn and they're all pretty much the same. So why come here? First there's crazy netflix movies on the tv. Maybe not important to most people, but when you're here on a random night and indulging in free/cheap pizza and cheap beverages it seems like a necessity. 2) As I just mentioned, free/cheap pizza. Personal pies, cooked when you hand in your pizza ticket, and pretty good (ok maybe not vinney's good but c'mon, its free). Lastly, its right off the train. If you're like me and don't live in the neighborhood, the Charleston is a good stop to get fed and have a few drinks on the cheap before heading back to where ever you rest your head. read more

I happen to really like Charleston. It's a great place to go if you feel like getting out of the house and just grabbing a beer and letting your hair down without getting too wild and crazy. The pizza is pretty good, good selection of beer, ski ball and games....the only thing is that i would like to come here to sit and chill and talk to friends but it's a biiitttt too loud to do that. Would be the perfect hang out spot if it was a tiny bit brighter and the music was turned down a touch. read more

We came on a quiet Thursday afternoon. The welcome and service was great,the margaritas were better! The free pizza was delicious and the prices were good. Perfect afternoon/ start of the evening spot, and I left with a happy and drunk boyfriend, result! read more

Great drink prices, great pizza (free before 8 with a drink purchase) And awesome staff! Very personable and great conversation starters! Awesome music selection and an overall great place! read more

This joint is perfect after you are done with your night. With the purchase of a beer (around $4-5), you get a FREE personal pizza. My friends from out of town always want to stop by to get the most bang for their buck when we are out in the city. Great pizza, great deal. read more

The beer and shot deals make it a great spot to get belligerently drunk for cheap. It has some of the most attentive bartenders I've encountered in the area, too; I've never had to stand around waiting for a drink. It also gains points for having all of WASP's hits on the jukebox. read more

Great Place to Hang out with friends on any day of the week. You cant beat the Low Life special with $1 pizza. i think Monday night is Trivia night with a chance to win 40$ worth of free Booze. Usually filled with interesting people so if you go there i doubt you will be bored =]. read more

If you go until 8:00pm, you get free pizza. Nice place with good music and beer. Not the best in Williamsburg, but good

Good drink deals and skeebAll. Place is dirty but that may not bother some. Maybe not the most inviting for visitors but would be great if a local. read more

love this damn place in here all the time. 5$ beer+shot+pizza doesnt get better than that dope outside seating to smoke cigs and people watch in the heart of bedford. read more

Used to work here. But I must say probably my favorite bar in Williamsburg. Definitely has a cool vibe. Usually no fights. Pretty laid back crowd. My kinda place. I recommend it to anyone who wants the Williamsburg experience read more

Fun bar any day of the week. Good place to watch sports or play ski ball if that is your thing. Trivia on Tuesday nights creates a great atmosphere and opportunity for free drinks! read more

Comfy and divey, boozey and trivia-ey? Work with me here, people.

I used to like this place. Divey, cheap, cute drink specials, and nice bartenders. But last night, my friend and I dealt with one of the most inexplicably rude bartenders I've ever dealt with, a surly dark haired woman. She treated my friend and I as if we were common criminals for not paying her quickly enough for our drinks. Staring us down and repeating the price as we fumbled for our money. Now, my friend and I were firmly plopped down at the bar. Coats off, purses down. So there is no good explanation for why this woman was questioning whether or not she would be payed for the drinks in the first place. I'm not sure if her behavior was race- related. Or if shes just a nasty bitch with a chip on her shoulder. Either way, we will not be returning. read more

The Good: This bar does have a few really good things going for it. The first is that it is pretty darn big. MY friends and i found seating relatively quickly even though there were several dozen people there are already, quite a feat in the area. The drinks were dirt cheap for well and beer, top shelf was about average but i assure you i didn't go there to sip martinis. Service was okay although the bartender and bar back seemed to be a little too wrapped up in their conversation. The Bad: This place smelled terrible. Maybe it was just a plumbing problem or the improper removal of puke but it was not pleasant. The pizza was also seriously sub par but i kinda of expected that based on its price. The Ugly: The bathrooms. The massive amount of people outside smoking in a tiny area. The door guy didnt seem to care that there were as many people outside as inside. I went around the corner to smoke just to avoid it. Conclusion: Might go back if Ive already been drinking in the neighborhood but The Charleston is not a destination spot for me. read more

Fucking love this place man it so chyll and awesome man the security is cool and the drinks are cheap n good too haha !

Cool spot that I happened to find while walking down Bedford.. they have really great drink specials! Which is unheard of these days and it was still 8pm.. cell service sucks inside though read more
