Bar Charley

Cozy tavern like atmosphere, well prepared food, decent whiskey list. We had the Beet Salad, Brussels Salad, Hanger Steak, Pear / custard dessert. We were originally near the National Gallery where places tend to fill up quickly so we took a short walk to this nice little spot. Unpretentious nice atmosphere.

My friend and I met for happy hour here after seeing they do happy hour all night on Mondays! Perfect if you’re working past standard happy hour times. The cocktails were fantastic as was the food. We shared the burger, wings and fries that are on the happy hour menu - all delicious. And the staff here are so friendly along with the other patrons. Vibes were immaculate, we will absolutely be returning!

Great service. Fun and down to earth servers. (Least I did, whatever girl was working with the dyed hair gets bonus points if management is reading, she unintentionally wingmanned so props. Also she was funny) Highly recommend the giggle water. However all the drinks of theirs I've gotten are great. I haven't tried the food outside the fries, which didn't knock my socks off but im not going to judge an entire establishments grub based on one happy hour dish unless it was a total flop. I'll be back (Sit inside. Mosquitoes are bad around there.)

Stopped into Bar Charley for their happy hour, which is excellent by the way. Good food and drinks, great service, and an awesome atmosphere. Started out on the patio, however it was a little buggy so we moved inside, which was not a problem. Both the patio and inside area are beautiful. We did not have a reservation but were seated right away as a party of two. It started to fill up by 6 or so though, so if you are planning on getting there any later it may be handy to have one. With $8 happy hour cocktails I will definitely be back!

Speakeasy kinda vibes! Great spot for date night, romantic drinks and dinner with your love. Drinks menu is pretty comprehensive and the cocktails are one of the best I have had in this area. They have a patio at the back but close that early and the middle area closes around midnight while the bar is open till close. Only suggestion to them is lower the music levels and gradually dim the lights as the night progresses. Will go back again next time I am in the area.
