Charlie's Austin (CLOSED) (Closed Permanently)

Drug heaven

Cool bar, awsome patio,cocky bar staff, and little drug users every where. I was suprise to walk into what i thought to be the mens room, there was a total of 4 people in one stall using coke. If your into drugs, you'll find it here..Along with other things. Cover charge very steep for nothin special.

bad ass

A fun and energetic place to go and just hang-out. Good people, good drinks, good loven.

Impressive

I live in Houston and went to visit a friend who has relocated back to Austin. I had been a couple of times and but never to many of the bars. I was very please to be taken to Charlie's. There was a small crowd, which was great and later picked up in number. The owner, David gave me a tour of the place, told me what he had done in the remodeling and what he'd like to do in the future. The Staff was very friendly and great at remember what I was drinking. The owner has also taken into consideration the new smoking ban in clubs and has created a smoking area on their huge patio, which also has a fully stocked and manned bar. If in Austin, I suggest this be your first and only stop.

Head's up!

After countless years of frequenting Charlie's, this is most definately a place to come and hang out. Excellent bartenders, bar staff and door persons. Their extensive and continuous remodeling can only be seen as a plus. Charlie's only downfall(s): 2+ hours for a drag show (2 hours too many in my opinion - good thing the bar is nicely divided to spare the rest of us the agony!) and a cover charge - why??

compliment from jesse t.
