I can't believe I've never reviewed this spot. It's my favorite bar in the city! The vibe is chill, but classy. If I'm dining anywhere near here I am stopping in for a pre or post meal beverage. The bartenders are friendly and engaging. I can't speak for the snacks, but there are a decent amount available. read more

My recent visit to house of charm wasn't very charming. I couldn't stop bragging about this spot to my partner. We stopped in on a random Sunday for quick drinks assuming that it wouldn't be majorly crowded. Went inside and as expected it was all of five of us in the bar. We got seated quickly grabbed a drink menu and anticipated getting hammered. Well the next thing we noticed was a small stinch that couldn't be ignored. I'm not sure if it was the plumbing or the carpet but it was hard to move past for sure. It also made me question if the couple other times i went there the smell was there and I just hadn't notice. Nonetheless, i ordered tequila and Red Bull which is easy enough and they ordered an amaretto sour. He requested that it could have a tad bit extra amaretto. The bartender asked follow up questions and essentially protested about their being additional servings added to the recipe. It was the nastiest drink i ever tasted. read more

Dive bar vibe, but the pink lights give it a fun, unique twist . My friend especially loved the aesthetic. The drinks were solid, and the bartenders were super friendly which made the whole experience feel really welcoming. They also offer small snacks and a few dishes if you're feeling hungry and a pool table in the back. Would definitely come back again. Good spot to come with friends for a drink especially if you're looking for something lowkey but still a little different from the usual downtown bars. read more

I really enjoyed the late afternoon-early evening I spent at downtown's newest drinking hole. Great location, funky, fun vibe, whimsical decor, quality spirits, light snacks - just what you want in a modern day saloon. The word comes from the French salon, and it originally had the same meaning, "living room." Ideally situated, House of Charm can be a meeting place before a show in the theater district, an after work meetup for happy hour, or a stop on a downtown bar hopping adventure. There's no craft beer, no "signature cocktail", nothing on the menu you can't pronounce. There are good white, red and sparkling wine choices, top shelf vodkas, whiskys, etc. and a fun modelo pony and any shot for $4. I opted for the French Rose on offer and was not disappointed. There are snacks available; nothing more substantial than a panini. I indulged in the cheese plate - which was generous and reasonably priced at $13 (they had me at triple creme brie!). There is a showstopper among the snacks, though. The house made pate is a fantastic accompaniment for the drinks. It's a must have if you like that sort of thing. The decor is lighthearted and artsy, the bar stools comfortable (and stylish!!) and the service friendly. The music was old school country during my visit - think Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash... I enjoyed the relaxed, informal ambiance. read more

We had a really good time here grabbing drinks but were very disappointed in the lack of specialty cocktails, which the former place was known for and decor suggests is still the highlight. The menu consisted of very basic beer and wine and nothing special for cocktails. We probably won't be back unfortunately with nothing unique to offer. The place before it had nearly identical decor and didn't make it even though they had a much better drink selection. I sadly don't expect this place to last unless they find something unique to bring people here. read more

Big fan of this spot for a pre or post event cocktail, or happy hour! Very cozy bar stools, super cool vibe and lighting, and bartenders are always friendly and attentive. They've got 4 panini options along with snacks like nuts, chips, pretzels, and what the bartender from Philly told us was a cheese board with an incredible value for what they were charging - I want to say it was $12, but may be wrong about that. We didn't end up getting it, only because my friend doesn't like cheese (WUT). We came before a wedding and I got a glass of rosé and was very pleased with the size of the pour! My friend got a Hendricks gin and tonic and it went down easily. We split a deliciously crispy panini with salami and roasted red pepper to hold us over through the ceremony, and then headed on our way to witness the I do's. Looking forward to next time! read more

I was really surprised how nice this was inside. It is more of a cocktail lounge than a standard bar. I had a really good Manhattan. The lighting is understated. Most of the high top tables are best for two or three people. Four people are tight but there are couches available for bigger groups. We were there for DJ Trivia on Wednesday. The place really filled up for that. It got the evening off to a good start. read more

Super cool place! Very cute with the pink lighting, eclectic unexpected decor & chandeliers. Definitely a fresh combination. Being middday on a Saturday, there weren't too many other customers but it began to fill in without being crowded. I also saw a group come in and use their front area couches, who seemed to be regulars and love the place. Great menu of cocktails and super friendly bartenders. The menu was somewhat limited, which makes sense with mostly a bar setup. I tried the mug of Mac and cheese, which was delish. (Very peppery in case that isn't your thing) I saw others with the charcuterie board which looked impressive too. Will be visiting again! read more

Visited here by the suggestion of a friend. The bartender knew of the cocktail I wanted, which very few do. So, that was exciting and a relief. I like the decor and it's relatively groovy in a way. It also didn't hurt that I got a handshake when I entered the bar because of the pro-abortion shirt I had on. So, I'm on board with at least that person's politics. I took off one star because, for as few people as there were in the place, the bar was playing the music too loudly. I couldn't hear my friend after awhile, so we had to leave. read more

Thank you for re-opening a business here, offering $4 shots and checking IDs. The crowd wasn't crazy (for a Friday night) which I'm wondering what the future holds. When I asked what the vibe was the answer was: We're not trying to encourage any type of drink here, there is a big variety and if you don't know what you want - I can figure out what you like and make something for you. My friends and I have an excellent time, it's not high end or a dive bar either. I hope you have great success being in that area.. Molly is a very kind bartender; we're coming back! read more

Great choice of liquor and wines. lots of chandeliers hanging from the ceiling create a very hip atmosphere without the pretension.

I'd like the hang out here on a night where I could grab a seat at the bar and hear stories about the past from the regulars.

House of Charm has a nice vibe, with decent drinks and a cozy atmosphere. I enjoyed my time there, but the service was a bit slow and the seating felt cramped at times. Overall, it's an okay spot for a casual night out, but don't expect anything too fancy. Worth a visit if you're nearby! read more

The crowd is all elderly and imo , the music was intolerable. It was todays country (I think) and like Elvis, James Brown, Blackfoot , etc.... Not my type of music & it was LOUD !! I had to get out of there. But, for anyone who likes that kind of music, then this bar is for you. The bartender, looked completely miserable, which also is a "turn off" point for me. At least fake looking happy while serving customers.

The layout is cozy and intimate with seating around the bar and several leather chairs and sofas throughout. Show posters throughout, some signed. The drink menu is extensive. I loved the lemon berry bourbon. They also have a large selection of absinthe, as well as beer and wine lists. Great service. The bathrooms are great. They even have lint rollers.

The staff was wonderful and so detailed with crafting our cocktails. They have a Wednesday deal where you get a draft beer, a shot, and the pizza of the day for only $20. All the other drink prices were very reasonable as well. The pizza was delicious. I believe it was mushroom truffle and jalapeño. We opted for no pepperoni. It was made to order, crisp and delicious. This will now be one of our stops whenever we go downtown.

This was just not my kind of place There was nothing wrong with it. Nothing specific anyway just not for me. The bartender was nice, I didn't have any problems with anybody. There are booths and of course, the stools around the bar, so there's lots of places to sit, which is always A Plus for me. I just had one beer and then I left. So I can't really comment too much on this place. A person likes what they like.
