BEWARE SCAM / OVERCHARGE TACTICS: There seems to be systemic tactics used by the staff to overcharge patrons that I've experienced on numerous occasions by multiple bartenders in the same night. In the past, I've experienced that I will order a well vodka soda first for $6 and when I come back to the same bartender and order another drink without specifying it's well (I would assume the bartender knows what I order), the bartender will charge me $8.25 for a higher priced vodka. I've also had bartenders just charge $8.25 without even asking if I want well alcohol for cheaper. I've ignored this scam, but tonight the bar had a special on Patron tequila for $5; I ordered a drink with a bartender and came back, and he charged me $10 for the next round, and told me that I had ordered a double the first round; I get automatic billing on my phone and showed him that he charged me $5 for the first drink. I went to a different bartender for another round, and the same thing happened; the first drink was $5, and the second drink I came back for was charged $10 and was told the same thing that I ordered a double even though I didn't.

Seen a group of people that their vibe was chill. I went to go dancing with them. Asked them how their night was going☺️. They were hella chill until I found out their ages. They seemed comfortable with me until they told me they were 20, 19 and even a 17 year old. Talking about “ I know the owner”. At of all people I’m sure the owner lets in minors. I wonder if they switched ages now or if they are sneaking in friends underage. Either way, that’s is not cool. Hope they got home safe and nothing happened.

Why do the drag queens always go past their midnight curfew on Sunday’s? All we we want to do is come and dance but can’t do that on a Sunday night. They should have their moment all for that….but they take advantage and everyone spends their night outside or so mad they just leave. We just want to dance and enjoy an evening but can’t……used to love this bar but it’s getting out of control with them dominating. Not sure if people have said anything to staff but I’ve herd a lot of options about it for over 3 months before I felt the need to leave a review. But here we are and now the majority of people need a voice. Let them have their moment they are awesome, but please let us have our moent too! Had to edit….it’s now 1:19 and they are still going. Why? I’ve watched people by the droves leave cause this is not what we are here for on a Sunday night. Again let them have their time but when their time is up it’s need to be done. Just listing to the crowd and admittedly my own option but the people need a voice this is an hour after the original review. So sad. People are not happy it’s a let down for sure.

A place that once felt safe and like home is no longer the case. I can’t speak on all the staff but the way I was treated by the guy at the front door was unreal. I have never been so disrespected that even the police officers on duty looked at him sideways. Not only was he extremely rude and unprofessional, he was hostile and after what happened at club Q the last thing we need is to turn against each other in our own community smh. Do better.

Pretty certain my bartender was the best part of the night. I believe their name was Christopher M. What a sweetheart and not to mention soft on the eyes. This was my first time and I don't drink often so I say "make me the sweetest thing." 3 Cherry vodka mixes later I was riding the vibe and enjoying the show! The drag was fantastic and how sassy! I couldn't stop laughing! They do have black lights so wear your paint if you got any! Otherwise they have a booth for it! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Was busy but it's Friday night; expected! The music was upbeat and the DJ was talented! I will definitely be visiting again in the future! Two things to note: $5 entry fee and a $5 coat check A personal note for all those going: TIP THE WORKERS! ✌️

Charlies has outgrown the location...which is great for business but exhausting as a customer. $5 cover isn't bad at all. No issues there. Once you're inside it's just shoulder to shoulder with everyone. You're going to wait 10-15 minutes in line to get a drink every time. The drag shows...man we'd love to see them but the place is so crowded, you're only going to see the sweaty dude standing in front of you. Are you looking for a place to sit? Don't bother, you're not going to find a place to sit. Looking for an area to stand that isn't extremely humid and hot? Not going to find that either. The bathroom must be cleaned once every 3 hours because it's always disgusting. How many people can you cram into a tiny space before it's a fire hazard? We used to come here often but it's just a hot mess these days. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else or just go home. You'll leave Charlie's disappointed and underwhelmed.

Wanna go out and dance with your friends? Well Charlie’s is no longer the place for you. Used to be a better experience now it’s taken over by drag shows; mediocre drag shows. They DRAG on and on and when patrons are finally able to bust it out on the dance floor it lasts thirty minutes at most and then another hour long drag show begins. My friends and I find ourselves leaving before we have a chance to really enjoy a night out.

I forget how fun this bar is but how the bartenders rob you when you get drinks. ALWAYS get beer, wine or seltzer. also PLEASE tell us the dancers venmo so we can tip them. Asked bartenders and other staff how to tip dancers without any luck.

DO NOT OPEN A TAB AT THIS BAR! I opened a tab and three drinks in I was told that my tab was being closed for exceeding $100. I was stunned. I asked for the itemized tab and it was clear that I had been charged for 5 Malibu shots that I had not requested. I had been drinking Bacardi pineapple. The bartenders were nice enough to bring out the manager so that I could dispute this overcharge but the manager had no interest in helping. He accused me of being too drunk to remember and said I could leave if I was not pleased with the service. I could not do anything except cancel my debit card and claim fraud. please don't fall victim to this bar's predatory practices.

always a fun time at charlie's! nice bartenders and a cheap cover. I love the drag shows, but I think they are too many long shows where they clear the dance floor on weekend nights when everyone wants to dance.

Here is a fun nightclub specially for young people. They have people dance and everything and you can give them tips. They sell drinks and when your hungry all they have is hotdogs or something outside during the summer. If you want to take off your shirt they have cubbyholes around. They card you to get in but they don't charge an entrance fee or for parking either. They also have limited places to dit down, so when you find one grab it quickly.

I ended up being on my birthday and it was incredible! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly security. Someone even came by to say hello to welcome me and got me a drink! The club is fun to dance too! There was perhaps a time or two where I was caught being smushed by someone but by the end of the night… well it was magical. I really loved this place!

Charlie’s can be a very fun place but last night I went and the employees were honestly not in the best mood. I hadn’t eaten all day and didn’t drink at all i had one beer at the show I went to. I had ordered a club soda at charlies with no alcohol. My stomach wasn’t feeling good I got sick I didn’t make it to the bathroom but I made it to the bathroom trash. The manager wasn’t very nice at first and wouldn’t listen to me and what was going on and kicked me out. Then I told him and he kinda listened and told me I couldn’t order from the bar but I told him I wasn’t drinking. After wards he got me a water which was nice but could have been a nicer situation and would have liked if he actually heard what was going on. I also feel like the bartenders aren’t always the nicest either. Usually a fun place but after yesterdays interaction it made me a bit off about wanting to go back to one of my favorite bars in Denver.

Charlie's is a bit loud, but the crowd is fun to admire, and with Grindr in hand, you can meet so many lively people! It's a great place to go to admire the dancers, puke on some drag queens, and drain away the monotony of single life. Good patio, too. My only complaint is they don't have piñas, but that's expected for some reason. 😎 My favorite part, honestly, is the huge free parking lot. That rocks. ✨️👌

Dec 14 my friends and I visited this place for fun(a friend's b'day) and what seemed out of nowhere my friend got pulled by the host for a solo "performance" seconds got named as a "crasher" by this same hostess. This all resulted in my friend being pinned by FOUR people against someone that WEIGHTED 170. This all happened an hour before medical attention was given to my friend and he was taken to the hospital!!! PS If the drag queen performing had no problem with my friends energy then why should the "host" throw shade!!! Peace and love should always be a given at this place and I am now questioning if CHARLES is a place of that type of energy. ❓❓❓❓❓❓

It was my friend's birthday and he was encouraged to go on the dance floor by the drag host to dance, then was ridiculed and told to leave for some reason. He said it wasn't fair to be kicked out when he didn't do anything wrong... so they literally dragged him out. Next thing I know, they called the cops and pinned him on the floor, and refused to let me just take him home. They told me they have footage of both of us striking them, and that they were gonna have us both arrested if I didn't leave. I hadn't touched anybody, and they were the ones literally dragging him. It was insane. I had to leave without my friend and was threatened that I'd be arrested too if I was there when the cops showed up. It was my first time and I definitely won't be going back...

Charlie's is a fun gay bar in Denver offering Drag shows, underwear parties, line dancing, body painting, and more. I think the atmosphere is great, and everyone seems to be inclusive and welcoming. Charlie's is a country themed bar that offers a variety of music for everyone.

Terrible place, rude staff. I had to pay to check my purse and when it was time to go my wallet was missing. The guy working there said I never gave him my wallet, everyone's belongings were on the floor or in buckets. No system to it, now wonder he couldn't find my wallet. Manager said I could come back at closing to look for it, I came back and they wouldn't let me in, just walked past and ignored me. I eventually called the police to report my wallet stolen. Drinks are overpriced and incredibly watered down. Also underwear night where drinks are supposed to be free in your underwear is for men only. Will never be going back here.

Great bar!! Sexy entertainment and a fun time. Wish there was more dancing room. Nonetheless, I’ll be back ☺️ I love love the dancers, especially the water cage 😍

If you haven’t been to a Charlie’s you’re missing out. I just visited Charlie’s Denver while on a work trip and I went two nights. I’m a huge fan of Charlie’s Vegas. Charlie’s is for anyone, you can’t go wrong.

The bar is cool, however they only play Nicki music, I asked a staffer to play one cardi song and he kind of blew me off, it was kind of of annoying that they can play Nicki all night but no Cardi music, the DJ should play a wide selection not just what he or she likes very displeased. The staffer was a black guy with dreads.btw

Chad a great bartender! He made me and friend so welcome and kept us entertained. The best bar to go to if you want to chill and get a drink

Great bar with a dance floor, patio, and lower bar where they have drag shows. Tuesday's they have karaoke and half price drinks. Great atmosphere and fun and friendly staff. I always have a great time when I go!

I visited Denver and saw Charlie’s and had to go. I went on a Thursday and they had a amazing drink special and for a Thursday the bar was packed and they even had dancers and a drag show! Overall it was fantastic and fell in love with the bar. If I’m back in Denver I will 100% be back!

Want to have fun dancing? Want a pitcher of coors light? Want to see impressive performers? Celebrating your bday perhaps? This is your spot! Low cover charge, $5, good vibes good times

It's a great place to go dancing. They are very friendly. They have a nice wooden dance floor. The bathroom rooms are fairly clean and gender neutral. They are accepting of everyone. I love going here to dance. 💜☮️🖖

Hey everyone so I was mugged by 3 guys last night in Charlie’s nightclub parking lot for my car. If any one sees my car please call the police. license plate number is CGKF70. I have a ZD sticker on my back windshield and a Odesza sticker on my side window. Everyone please be careful walking to and from your car alone.

Best place to dance in Denver and I am not even gay. Service is top notch too. I always have a memorable time here. Been dancing here for over 10 years!!! Thank you!

Barback will take your drink and toss it. Happened to me and my partner as well as a friend. Reading other reviews, happens quite often. Wasted $20 on drinks and got one sip out of them. Won't return. This place has gone downhill over the years

Was here twice this last weekend and had an absolute blast both times!! Saturday I joined my kickball team for a celebration after our game on the patio @ Charlie’s. Really enjoyed the complimentary burgers and hot dogs and appreciated the fast and friendly service from the bartender Tino. This guy is quick I don’t think I ever waited longer than 60 sec for him to at least acknowledge me and grab my drink order. Returned later that evening and to my surprise the first guy I see at the entrance was our friendly bartender Tino ( this guy does it all while keeping that same energy and positive vibes) He remembered us and welcomed us back for round 2 lol. The rest of the night was great, ( took a little longer in the night to get a drink but other than that…..) Great Music Great Atmosphere and Hot gogo dancers everywhere!! Will definitely be returning for round 3, 4 , 5 etc etc

Great time last night. Surprisingly good beer options, appreciate that the drag was in a side room so that entertainment could be optional (prefer to dance on the main floor), good song mix... - 1 star for not having a water fountain (bottled water for purchase as the only option is cringe, a jug at the back bar or something would go a long way).
