Since I am a sucker for dive bars, my wife and I had to stop into Charlie's while road-tripping to…read moreLong Beach. Charlie's did not disappoint. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Charlie's is the only bar in Montesano. The building is old so it was chilly inside during our visit. If you are somebody who chills easily, bring a sweatshirt or light jacket inside with you. Happy Hour is offered Monday-Friday from 4pm-6pm. Well drink specials are offered Sunday-Thursday from 6pm-close. Charlie's offers a full bar and draft beers. Free Wi-Fi is available. Charlie's does not have a kitchen. Food items are microwaved. Remember, this is a dive bar. We all use microwaves at home from time-to-time. I'm good with microwaved food and an ice-cold beer. Charlie's offers many different forms of entertainment during ones visit. Pull tabs, darts, digital jukebox, beer pong, shuffleboard and a couple pool tables. During our visit, my wife and I played a few rounds of darts 501. If I recall correctly, each game was $0.75 (wife paid). While playing darts we slurped on a couple ice-cold Manny's for $5 each. We each took turns ($10 worth) choosing the next song to blast from the jukebox. We had an absolute blast. Our server was downright cool. She was friendly, laid-back, helpful and willing to share her knowledge of the surrounding area and Long Beach area with us. Thank you Charlie's for being one of our highlights during our road-trip. We both look forward to stopping in again the next time we're passing through Montesano.

There was no need for a side, the burger was plenty of food, a protein bomb straight to the stomach. It was well cooked and delicious.

The employee that took my call and gave me my pizza was a really, nice guy. Cauliflower crust is always a gamble but this was really good! The texture was great and it held up under the toppings.

Next time!

I had the Pale ale very smooth and crisp and hubby had the Sunset ale which was bright and fruity. Food was decent, typical American. We had cheesy breadsticks which was basically a cheese pizza cut up into strips served with a side of cold marinara. Caesar salad was decent, it wasn't mixed, dressing & cheese just on top. Italian stack was good and what you would expect, not bad and not exceptional. Hot honey pepperoni pizza was a special. Thin chewy crust, thin layer of cheese & pepperoni. The hot honey was not spicy at all but the sweetness over the pepperoni was the star. Great spot for good beer, reliable American food, and to chill.

***Avoid karaoke night! *** The bartenders are amazing!…read moreSuper friendly, fast, great service. Great bourbon, nice pool tables, and darts. That being said...I do not recommend this bar on karaoke nights. Karaoke was supposed to start at 8. We got there at 8:45 and left at 10:00pm. There was no mention of karaoke, no one was singing. I looked to see where to sign up but there was no one near the equipment. I don't know who was playing music but it was terrible and super boring. We asked the bartender where the DJ was and she said he was sitting at a table in the lobby with some "friends". He was not friendly or approachable. As we were leaving one of the men sitting at the table with the DJ (who appeared to be very intoxicated) ramble unintelligible on the microphone and call everyone pussy's several times if they didn't buy his friend a drink for her birthday. It was hostile and very unprofessional.

The only thing I'd say needs improvement is the condition of the joint - looks like they've been very popular and it shows - some of the booths need reupholstered and the place seems to be constantly in a state or remodeling.

Stopped in here on a Monday around 4 after leaving LaConner and the tulip festival. It's a local…read morehangout I'd classify more of a dive sports bars our favorite kind. There were a few people at the bar and a table of 2. We were asked if we were dining we said yes please. We were informed they were prepping hamburger for the next day so it might be a minute. We said no problem we'll just enjoy a beer and wait. We checked out the menu and picked out what we wanted when she was ready to cook. A minute later the server shows up and asks what we wanted to order, I asked didn't we have to wait until the hamburger was prepped. She responded "oh I just like to be prepared." So we placed our order for two burgers and she went back and prepared them. It was interesting people watching... very much a locals place.

I was really disappointed, and it's only the second bar I've ever been to…read more My friend said he thought about taking me here because I'd have a BETTER time than Tower Tavern. Boy was he wrong! This place had extremely drunk people singing horrible karaoke...which, may not be the most unusual. But that was literally the entire population at the time we went...which was PEAK time to be at a bar! Then like I said above, nobody was there, except what my friend assumed were "the regulars." So we felt like flies on the wall for sure. Especially since I don't drink. It felt small and cramped, so when I heard that my friend had been here before "when there was a DJ" and related it to videos he'd Snapchatted, I knew this place wasn't for me. How could you fit in a "concert" of sorts? (His videos looked like a club environment, and waaay more space then what was really available.) I hate to say it, but this place ruined bars for me. They even asked me to pull my mask down when checking my ID. By the way, they didn't card at the door, just after my friend wanted a drink, so I'll bet they were shocked when I literally didn't order anything. Not even water. Overall, this place felt cramped, and the music was ear-piercingly bad. Literally, it gave me a migraine. I'll never be coming back, because the parking was horrible, and it was in a weird location that was enough out of the way. It doesn't get a 1/10 because I don't like bars, so people who do MAY be able to have a better time.
