Charlie's Phoenix

This is probably one of the dirtiest bars I’ve been too. The only time I’ve ever had fun here is when I was drunk. The bathroom is absolutely disgusting with urine everywhere. When it’s busy it’s hard to order a drink.

I have been coming here for OVER HALF A DECADE. I'm very goth/metal and I love dancing and chilling. The first night I come when I see the blue thin line flags(the entree guy said it was cop night but the inside door man had no idea what i was talking about when i mentioned it.) I get reported from the manager because a guy was harassing a couple women and he complained when i was confused at him shoving me. I walked away yet still got a complaint from the manager from the str8 dude. DO NOT COME W THE THIN BLUE LINE FLAG IF YOU ARE QUEER. I felt so unsafe and disgusted. Remember stonewall when we and our grandparents were murdered for who we were in the 60s/70s from homophobic cops? I do. And it's pathetic the managers and owners don't see this historic pain point when we just want to be safe being who we are. When you're dancing w thin blue line flags out front try to remember the folks that murdered people like you not even a lifetime ago. They're the ones in the bar. Congrats. Pathetic. Edit: staff is great and love literally everything else

This place is great if Latino, white, or a straight woman. If you’re black, go with white or Latino friends and only send them to the bar to get the drinks. The drag show was good- a 50/50 mix of 90’s/2000’s and Spanish music. The vibe was good but the bartenders here suck.

Was there last night on 8/31/24 and there was no door person outside. I walk in and a very nasty door person reaches out and grabs my shoulder to stop me. I'm pretty sure that's technically assault and not allowed. He then accuses me of being drunk. I was not drunk at all. He was very hostile and rude and his behavior was disgusting. I will be talking to management about this individual. People like that should not be working in any kind of customer service job. He may have been discriminating against me due to my age as well.

Such an awesome space full of fun, great people. I was traveling alone and decided to pop in for some fun. Charlie’s is a great place with cheap drinks and friendly, unpretentious people. Great drag shows too! Don’t forget to check out the huge back patio and DELICIOUS food truck. Definitely recommend this place for a fun night out on the town.

ALWAYS have an amazing time here. Not super sure why reviews say it's discriminate to women. I'm gay but somewhat straight looking and have always been acknowledged by staff and treated well. As far as other guests, nobody is ever in control of that but have never had a bad experience. Love this place for it's amazing diversity and have so many wonderful memories!

They are open until 4am however stop serving alcohol at 2am and still charge $10 per person to get I after even though you can only order water or red bull. They should be transparent about that prior to taking your money to be in a club atmosphere and drink water. They hold the line pretending like it’s busy inside but it’s really not.

One, if not the, best gay bars in the valley. Large dance floor inside, and an outdoor patio. On Friday nights they have gogo dancers, and the drinks are pretty reasonably priced.
