The Best Gay Bar in Denver

by Sejanus

With two dance floors, a couple of bars, and the distinction of being a g@y cowboy bar, Charlie's is nearing the status of a Denver landmark. The staff and customers are friendly and outgoing, and its typical to find an interesting conversation every visit. Charlie's scene can be considered the perfect level for a g@y bar: the clientele are inveterate partiers, meaning the flow of alcohol and possibly other substances is ample, though they are not so decadent that the night devolves into a Bacchinalia. Furthermore, the place is big enough that the feuding cliques and sub-scenes that plague many g@y bars are largely absent.

The drinks are reasonable in strength and price, though it often depends on who's doing the pour. The line-dancing and g@y cowboys do not come off as ironic as one might expect, and everyone - g@y, straight, cowboy or city-slicker seems there for one reason: to have a good time. Charlie's is an excellent bar for someone who wants to party but avoid the competitiveness, pretense, and drama of normal clubs.

great neighborhood country gay bar

by elway35

I love the friendliness of the staff. It is so much fun on thursdays to do a little country dancing after drinking at JR's, and also their is a 90s/techno/hip hop side too. It is a good mix of people for both sides. They have karaoke also on different nights. It is 1/2 price night as well. The country dj's sometimes keep the music too slow but just put in requests and that usually helps. Parking lot is right next to bar and there is a huge smoking patio. Avoid the bathrooms, really dirty!

• Pros: Good mix of people, cheap drinks, music variety
• Cons: Dirty bathrooms, sometimes can be slow
