I enjoyed this place a lot. I went because I had a gift certificate and I'm so glad I did! I will be coming back no doubt. The food was great and they had pretty decent happy hour drink specials. Not to mention the music was kickass! Not many places nowadays play punk or music related to the punk genre! None of that kiss fm radio trash. Loved this place and will be back!
Review Source:Prices on drinks are ok but it seems to take a while to get service, even on a slower night. That could mean that regulars are treated very well but I would prefer faster service for everyone. The food is great, although you do not get much for what you pay. The greatest draw for me is the outdoor patio upstairs that is more private and relaxed. Not my first choice for a night out, but definitely not my last.
Review Source:Great atmosphere with cheap food and drinks.
- Friday nights are awesome here (pitchers of Blue Moon are $7).
I'm beginning to love 2 Charlies.
And as someone who used to go here when it was called the Sunset Grill, I'm glad that 2 Charlies carries on same the tradition of cheap drinks and chill vibes.
If you're looking for sluts with fruity drinks and dude brahs, go to Tavern, The Garage, or RT's.
If you're looking for a place where grown ups go to have some beers and play darts, come here. Â It can get a bit hillbilly/trashy at times because the VFW overspill comes here, but it's still pretty alright.
The staff is great, Rob the cook is awesome, the food is great for bar food, and they have a relatively knowledgeable bar staff.
This is the only place in town that makes a decent filthy martini, and doesn't complain if you order a bloody mary at two a.m.
One bartender there is a huge bitch, but the great thing about Two Chucks is that you can just go to the other bar (upstairs because she is always downstairs because she is a grumpy cunt) if she's working!
In 1 night at II Charlies, I was hit on hardcore by a redhead, a cute curly-haired girl showed me a fresh tattoo on her twat, I made best friends with a drag queen, I smoked a Chinese cigarette, I danced with a hot chick covered in tattoos and I learned how amazing Denton and its folks can be.
Oh, and all my drinks were free.
That is all.
I have been to two charlies a couple of times but last night was a horrible experience. I ordered my usual Blue Hawaiian and when I got to the bottom sitting in my glass was a beer bottle top. I explained this to my waitress and she proceeded to get the manager. He came over to my table told me the drink was on him and walked away after smiling. My boyfriend and I were not impressed by this experience and will question coming back in the near future.
Review Source:Easily one of the best bar hangouts in Denton. Â II Charlies has great food, great drinks, daily food and drink specials and super friendly service. Â There isn't much more you could ask for in a place. Â They definitely have the friendliest bartenders in Denton. Â There are multiple hangouts within II Charlies. Â There is the downstairs bar area (my spot), the downstairs enclosed patio area, the upstairs bar, and the upstairs outdoor patio. Â All have their own unique vibe and everyone seems to have their own preference. Â Bar food-4 stars, drinks-5 stars, Bar Ambiance-5 stars, Service 5 stars.
Review Source:I like II Charlies in the same way that I like chicken tenders. Its okay. Not great but not anything I'd probably turn down. This bar is located out of the general college bar area, right next to a Papa Johns, across the street from Kroger.
I have been to this bar a few times now. The downstairs area is usually full of adults eating snacks and hanging out in a more well-lit area. I think its non-smoking down there. I normally go upstairs to hang with the smoking, college-kids. And I mean smoking like cigarettes, not like hotness. There might be smoking hotness there but I'm usually more focused on the 3 dollar you-call-its.
This bar is owned by the same people that own The Loophole. It is also the same kind of crappy bar food. If you are going to eat here, just recognize that you are about to eat some defrosted stuff. I know after I've been drinking for a while, I don't particularly care about the freshness or free-rangeness of a food product.
I have had one horrible server here and two good ones. I think the terrible server was just a one off.
I like this bar. If you live in Denton, then you can ride your bike through the neighborhood behind the bar to get there. Since I'm not the best bike-rider, I like this. I'd recommend this bar if you want to get away from the usual bar square area.
Great place. There are bars both downstairs and upstairs and there is a patio on the second floor as well. They have truly great pub food, with my personal favorites being the buffalo chicken sandwich and the wings. Trivia night is fun and II Charlies has a great atmosphere - it isn't  pretentious but it definitely isn't a dive. Good mix of people, too.
Review Source:Currently II Chucks is the place I like to go where no one knows my ass. Â After living in Denton for a decade it can sometimes suck when you're at a bar and know half the people there and wish you didn't. Â This is why I like II Charlies. Â They're food is surprisingly good for bar food, with my personal favorite being the black bean nachos. Â Not only is the food good, it's priced well for what you get. Â
I like the atmospher, it's not hip, it's not a total doucher bar, it's just a bar that isn't trying to prove itself with bullshit themed nights and disco lights. Â The wait staff has always been friendly and attentive and I've never had a service issue.
Did I mention it's also cheap to drink there?
I like the atmosphere of this place, the outdoor patio is nice in the summertime, and they have great drink specials. However, i have been there on more than one occasion when one of the bartenders has been too drunk to do her job properly. Very unprofessional. If you are going to drink on the clock, use some self control.
Review Source:My husband and I just moved down the street from this place. We were drawn to it by the nice second story porch. This is such a great watering hole, especially on that porch during sunset!
The menu prices are very affordable! A pound of boneless buffalo for $8.99? I think I've found my weakness. The cheese fries are also pretty much the best thing ever (especially if you have had a few drinks).
Speaking of which, the drink specials here are also wonderful. I am so glad that there is a place other than the Greenhouse that has mimosas on the weekends! And Charlies' are only $3 on Sundays. Those Sunday afternoon $3 bloody maries will knock you off your feet, too, so watch out!
I just learned about  - and went to - Two Charlie's for the first time this afternoon, and I love it! I like the feel of the place, and it's true! You *can* have a good conversation in a bar!! Who knew?!
The drink prices are great, and the price for the amount of food you get is awesome. I had nachos and they were WONDERFUL! The chips were fresh, the beans, cheese, tomatoes, and sour cream all had good flavor. The salsa was surprisingly fresh and flavorful - it caught me off-guard, particularly for a non-Mexican joint.
Man, I wish they had fried pickle slices instead of fried pickle spears. Life would be complete, if only...
I blew through 2 dirty martinis, and they were pretty good. I've definitely had my share of crappy martinis, so it's nice to find a place who can pull together a decent one.
Service was good - I didn't go without, and my food and drinks were brought out in good time.
I'm told that these 2 Charlies also own the Loophole, which I also like, though have only been there a few times and not in a while.
