Good karaoke

by chicagobobby44 at Citysearch

This is a very good place for karaoke in a rather low-key and unpretentious atmosphere. The crowd is supportive, sometimes even attentive, and will clap for you even if you don't have a good voice. The bar recently developed its own new-and-improved karaoke system with lyrics on the TV monitors, better software, and more songs. The KJs are still learning the new system so it's not perfect yet, but it's still a great place to sing some songs. Karaoke starts at 8:30 on Sundays and 9:30 on Tuesdays.

• Pros: Karaoke can't be beat
• Cons: None

You will dance your butt off!

This is a great place for the partier that likes to go into the wee hours of the morning, I like it except by the time I get here I'm tiered and probably drunk, everyone is falling all over the place and the bathrooms are filthy so never go in there, just go in the corner... j/k fun place!

• Pros: late night dancing, drinks
• Cons: smoke machine, VERY crowded

GOOD MUSIC

by kevieboy1983 at Citysearch

ok i ususally go to this bar after all the other ones have closed. but the other weekend when we tried to go there they said they have $10 cover for guys and $20 for girls..EXCUSE me how is that far..i might be a guy but why charge girls more? that is very unfair to them..but when we found that out we left the line because we had girls with us. BUT on the other hand the music there is AWESOME very cute guys there. great light show just all around awesome (beside the cover part)

• Pros: MUSIC
• Cons: LONG BATHROOM LINES AND COVER

Even if you've never worn chaps, you can play urban cowboy at this Boys Town bar.

The Scene
If men in tight Wranglers and cowboy boots are your thing--and you happen to be a fella yourself--you'll be in heaven at this boot-scootin' chain that also has locations in Denver and Phoenix.

The Draw
Laid-back and relaxed, Charlie's is a fun place to come, even if you don't like country music, and especially if you're looking for some place to dance late-night; every evening that the bar is open after 2am, the Western tunes are traded for popular mainstream dance hits. The large dance floor also hosts free dance lessons--learn to two-step or shake your thang the cowboy way at 7:30pm Mondays and Wednesdays. A full bar turns out something for everyone.

Charlies is AWESOME

by muchosaborrican at Citysearch

A great bar with lots of variety and different types of music to please almost every crowd. Cute boys round up at this bar most nights for after hours, very packed every night of the week.

Great anytime!

If you like country visit early on Friday or Saturday. If not, save this for a last stop. As other bars close this bar fills up with cute guys from everywhere! I've never been disappointed.
