Description

One of the few bars on Bedford that's nearly always empty, the Charleston has no real scene, though factoring in the price of its beers, it should have the best party on the block. The bar features occasional bouts of live music that could double as amateur shows, but it might be a good place to break in your little sister's band.

  • 2001 | Best Free All-'80s-All-The-Time Jukebox

    "Chuck E. Cheese for grown-ups, complete with bad pizza," says my friend Dave of THE CHARLESTON (there tend to be lots of balloons, too). But he's not complaining. He did, after all, get to put "Lady in Red"--the worst song ever!--on the jukebox, for absolutely free. Simple pleasures, eh? Right, like Lionel Richie, Kim Carnes, Chaka Khan, Foreigner, Blondie, Cyndi Lauper, Olivia Newton-John, Michael Jackson. All this, and a disco ball, too. More »
