I've always had a really great time here. Bartenders are kind and do a great job. I go early though…read moreso I am not sure about their night vibes. I'm a trans person and I've felt nothing but safe here. I'm only giving it 4 stars not because of the staff or the bar itself it's more towards the bathroom set up. Their happy hour is amazing!

Their happy hour is buy one get one and last until 8 PM. There is also a nice patio space which is great for the warmer weather. The only downside of it is that it is right on Colfax so there can be unwelcome guests as you are enjoying your beverage. Overall though want to support this local gay bar!

Very disappointing first time experience. Was looking to watch the NBA finals. Sar down at the…read morebar. Bartender came over and I asked if the had a Guinness Zero. They did not but she told me other non alcoholic beers. I ordered a coke. I was given a 12oz paper cup loaded with ice and maybe 4voz of Coke. I finished my drink and slid it forward to let her no I was ready for another drink. Never came back to Mr. This is a tiny bar as well.. Finally I gave up and settled up with another Bartender. Coke was 3.75 and I was given a phone to tip and sign. I tipped 20 percent and left. I get home and there was a 10% charge on my card. I asked for the print receipt option but wasn't given one. Very poor. Don't think I'll be back which is a shame cause I live in the neighborhood.

I fully realize that this bar was probably not created with me in mind. I enjoy wearing leather,…read morebut probably not as much as they do :-) However, it is also a very inclusive and ecclectic space. I've been there a couple times for a very unique comedy show that you really don't find anywhere else. I have found the staff to be very friendly. The beer to be nice and cold (and reasonably priced), and the patrons (both regular and new) of the place are a cool and fun group. Tracy, the bartender is outstanding.

The service at the bar has gotten a lot better. No more waiting, really! The bar gets very busy,…read moreand people are super nice. At first... it felt like we wouldn't be accepted here, but we learned over time that... everyone is accepted, it just takes time for people to get to know you! The bar has spent money to update things, and the front area for sure is nice and welcoming, and the dance floor and lounge area out back are also nice! The red lights have added just the right glow. The bar owner and the staff have always been nice; super nice. The bar manager is a sweetheart. There have been a few patrons who... over the years have maybe not been the nicest, but the bar staff always handles it appropriately. They have signs about lewd behavior now posted around, and they come by to check out areas with regularity, as well as to grab your empty drink cups, etc etc etc -- a fun space to dance and just people watch; handsome furry men getting sweaty -- I can't think of anything better. :) It can be super packed busy... or not very. I usually check Google Maps before heading out just to see like... how busy it is. It sometimes takes a bit to get hopping, but once it does? It's busy busy. The front areas are very narrow is my only complaint sometimes, and I'm a small guy... so I know that some people are like... grrr at having to wait for a path to clear at times... but it never takes long. Drinks are reasonable. Clothes check is (usually) available. Various DJs come and spin. It's a good time... and everyone may just be as shy as you I've learned. Say hi! Most people enjoy being admired, just saying! ;) -- See you boys out there! :D

Upstairs has a decent sized dance floor in addition to the smaller floor on the first level. A variety of shows throughout the week offer's plenty of entertainment. One area of improvement would be a complete overhaul of the restrooms.

I don't appreciate the foul language used in their "drag shows"…read more Every other word is F**k, Sh**t and Nig**r. It is insulting and it gets really, really old. When I go out in the evening, it would be great if the performers would stop being so "graceless". Show some dignity (for yourself) & towards our community. Please, Keep your racists, (unnecessarily) foul language and insulting comments to yourself. Venus, who performs on Tuesday evening is funny, beautiful and sings like a professional. I recommend her shows! 9-12:00 every Tuesday night. Everybody loves the Charlie's dancers! I agree. The dancers are terrific. This lip sinking, ghetto behavior speaks CLEARLY FOR WHAT IT IS: Classless, annoying and insulting. The only reason drag does well at Charlie's between 8-12:00 pm is because we all ARE WAITING FOR THESE SHOWS TO END...! (Do that crap downstairs!) Most of my friends just want to dance, and listen to the best DJs in Denver... with the BEST SOUND SYSTEM ON CAP HILL. FYI: THE STAFF @ CHARLIE'S CAN'T BE BEAT! Excellent service. The bar & bathrooms are spotless. The staff is ALWAYS Kind, respectful & adorable. The bar is being very well managed. The "entertainment" needs TO BE REFORMED. I feel the need to express these concerns about how "out of control and offensive" these shows have become. The drag queens are USUALLY drunk. I express my criticisms out loud, because my friends are too afraid of becoming "unwelcome" @ Charlie's (and/or) in the gay community. I probably won't be welcome back...but there it is. Make the entertainment a great evening for all of us and lets do some reflecting about how we present ourselves to the public. Thank you for your attention.

Subdays are arguably one of the best days to go as they typically have beer bust for stupid cheap. Unlimited beer or seltzer as do many other gay bars in the area.

We found street parking and walked over. Metal detectors and ID check at the front. Of course something buzzed for me. Quick pat down and I was in. They have a coat check which is handy. Since my last time here it's been redone. Not surprising as that was years ago. So many rooms of fun and different styles of music. Lots of bars tucked everywhere so you can always buy a drink. And food trucks outside too. We wandered in the different rooms, enjoying a drink and looking at the merchandise for sale. So many talented vendors. The VIP tickets came with a settee and bubbly. We toasted my friend and enjoyed relaxing there between our . The gender neutral restrooms threw me off a little as the urinals are out in the open. I've been in ones with stalls but this was a first for me. The alley was cool as you can play games and eat at the food truck and drink at the bar. It was cold weather so we didn't stay long in the alley. Back inside for more dancing. Little platforms to dance on. And then dancers made an appearance on the main stage. What a fun night.

They booked a racist queen tonight, named Sin St. Clair, to perform who told another queen to, "go back to her country" and "heil hitler".

Its very disappointing to see a queer spot allow and even defend racism within the community.
