Man, this place sucks. My sister needed to use the restroom and the bartender physically got in front of her and refused to let her use the bathroom. She wasn't drunk, crazy looking or anything--just needing to use the bathroom really bad. She has IBS and I even told the bartender there's a law in Washington state that requires businesses to let people who haven't made purchases in the establishment to use their restroom. She has NEVER had a place refuse to let her use the bathroom after telling them about her medical condition. Rude and inconsiderate staff and manager. I'm boycotting this place from now and telling everyone I know.

wow. what a gem! i recently went to charlie's as the last stop for my ugly christmas sweater pub crawl and it was, by far, the best place to go for some dancing.
why?
because it's where you can go to just dance. Â it's not pretentious, it's not clubby, it's not a meat market. They played AWESOME music (belle de vo, sublime, tlc, nirvana, bobby brown, sir mix a lot, WAH!!!!!) that got you dancing. Â Not the pretty girl dancing, but the sweaty, i don't care what my mascara is doing, i'm taking my sweater off because it's too hot!!! dancing. Â Maybe it was the dj (props) and/or maybe it was the fantastic micro brews they have on tap, but whatever the reason, this is the place to go to dance like the world's ending and talk about how you're going to save the world.
so if you've been drinking down fourth ave and need a way to sober up or a place to get your microbrew on, this is the place to go.
ps. the past reviews of this place being a meat market is not true. Â I think they all moved to 1230 or the royale, because the crowd here was chill!
The category in which Charlies competes (Dive Bars) says it all...
There were about 8 drunk chicks at the bar and when the bartender pulled out a tray of jello shots I thought they were going right over the bar for them.
A stiff drink for a good price ($5) but a bit, OK a lot, too "divey" for me.
Plenty of better choices, 4th ave and the brotherhood to name two...
Ok this is purely a Sunday/Monday night review because if I reviewed Charlie's any other day of the week my review would probably not be so good.
I avoid Charlie's on every other day except the important ones which are Sunday and Monday nights during Football season which we are on the cusp of so this is an appropriate time to tell you this.
Fridays and Saturdays Charlie's can be a meat market which isn't my thing but come Sunday during football season it all changes. No I am not there all day that would be sad if I was, but come on let's just list some facts people. Â
5 flat screens, 3 tubes, a projector and a big screen outside. Plus they have NFL ticket so you can catch every single game here. If you are not at Quest Field, the Mecca as I like to call it, your second best option in Oly is Charlie's. Sure it's a little divey but it's Oly where sports bars go to die. It's the best we got so embrace it. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Plus they keep making improvements. Can Lambeau field say that, no?
They have a huge, newly renovated, outdoor area with a retractable roof just like Safeco Field but their food is much cheaper as is the beer. When it gets cold they have a plethora of heaters to toast your buns outside.
They have a good bar menu to include a rather tasty burger but breakfast is hit or miss. They do have an all you can eat breakfast bar on Sunday which is good only if you are hung over. It includes Sausage links, French toast, Biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs and bacon. Worth checking out but not the best quality at all.
So come to Charlie's, eat a cheeseburger, and cheer on your team. Go Hawks!
Friday night we took a big old group of people down to Charlie's to sing some karaoke. Â When we got there, it was kind of chill, not too many people, and karaoke was just getting going. Â Slowly the place started getting more and more crowded with bunches of people that were obviously growing impatient with the karaoke. Â Turned out that karaoke only went until 11:00 and after that, Charlie's turned into a dance club and a creepy one at that. Â Â
With the place almost full, my friend and his wife decided to take off, so I was going to go to my car and give them a Christmas present I had brought, but when I ducked outside, my jaw hit the floor....there was a line twenty people deep to get into Charlie's, a crummy little dive tavern that in all my previous visits never had more than a handful of people in it. Â The bouncer (bouncers? Â Seriously?) said that if I left, I'd have to get in line which was not going to happen, not for Charlie's. Â Sorry guys, Christmas gifts will have to wait for later. Â
Once the music switched over and the wait to get a beer topped five minutes and it was too loud to hear anybody talking and the hos took over the dance floor, the call went out amongst our group that we were heading for The Brotherhood. Â
Charlie's has turned into a gigantic meatheaded suckfest and I doubt that I'll return. Â A good old Olympia dive bar is gone.
