Best Gay Bar
Award Winner 2009

Hours: 11am-2am
Features: Patio/Sidewalk Dining, Catering

Description

This cowboy-themed gay bar also has outposts in Phoenix, Las Vegas and Chicago, but you don't have to wrangle cows or wrestle steers to feel at home. Charlie's offers a sit-down bar, a stage for its weekly (and very popular) drag shows, and a fenced-in outdoor patio that's the happening place to sit when Colorado's famous sunshine is making an appearance. You'll also find two dance floors at Charlie's, so if you don't feel like line-dancing or two-stepping on a particular evening, there are always alternatives -- and if you don't know the first thing about line-dancing or two-stepping but think you might enjoy them, Charlie's offers lessons. There's something going on every night of the week, whether it's karaoke, a half-off drink specials night, or a night when your drink specials depend on your taking it half off: On Fridays and Saturdays, shirtless men get half off well drinks, and on Show It! Mondays, guys in their skivvies get special prices on well drinks, call drinks and bottled beer.

2009 | Best Gay Bar

At Charlie's, it's like the (gay) stock show is in town every night. Since 1981 -- before some of the studs who frequent the bar were even born -- Charlie's has been the place to meet up, boot, scoot and boogie. If you're not into the cowboy way, there's a separate dance floor with plenty of flashing colored lights and Britney Spears. Charlie's also features karaoke two nights a week (half-price for guys in their underwear), Tuesday-night trivia and cheap well drinks for shirtless... More »
2007 | Best Karaoke Night

Bring your competitive edge and those succulent lungs down to Charlie's on Mondays and Tuesdays to battle it out mano-a-limp-wrist with some of the town's fiercest amateur vocalists. The nightly sign-up sheet doesn't care about your sexual orientation -- but if you suck, then you'll be outing yourself in front of the entire beer-swilling community. Because at Charlie's, under the gleam of the cowboy-boot-shaped disco ball and in the eyes of the uber-sassy, karaoke isn't a choice; it's a way... More »
2006 | BEST PLACE TO ROLE-PLAY <IH89.999F"NEWSGOTHICBT-BOLDCONDITALIC">BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN<A$>

For the past 25 years, Charlie's is where all the real gay cowboys (and ranch hands, sheepherders and rodeo riders) have met, two-stepped and tried to quit each other. But it's hard to quit watching them twirling each other gracefully across the floor every night in their ten-gallon hats, boots and skintight Wranglers. If line-dancing isn't your thing, Charlie's offers other choices: non-C&W dancing, pool, darts, trivia, karaoke, Broncos parties, food, the bar's infamous annual Valentine... More »
2003 | Best Gay Bar for Straight Men

Contrary to popular belief, straight men love to be ogled by gay men. But going from "God's gift to women" to "God's gift to all mankind" can be difficult, even for the most cocksure heterosexual. Most of the gay clubs make the mistake of blasting their diva ballads so loud that an honest man can't tell if he's being sexually objectified or given the evil eye for some fashion faux pas. However, the laid-back country-Western atmosphere at Charlie's acts as a soothing balm to the inner... More »

Charlie’s Chocolate Cake

By Nancy Levine | Thu, October 04, 2007

Sometimes I ask questions that I already know the answer to — just to make sure the world is spinning correctly on its axis. Why do birds fly south for the winter? Why are bald heads shiny? Why are holier-than-thou conservatives always the ones bu... More »
