Part of the Charlie's chain, this club features live DJs and line dancing lessons. This is a country western bar, but plays other music depending on the day. The late-night theme parties and underwear nights are very popular.

Especially on Sunday late afternoon/evenings, Charlie's draws a great mix of more than just cowboys, just as more than a few pop/R&B/Latin songs are sprinkled between Strait and Swift (though the line dancers have steps for those too). The well-designed dance floor is large enough to accommodate plenty of two-steppers, but located away from the entrance/bars/restrooms/gathering areas, helping the thick crowd flow a bit quicker at the busiest times. Much like the same-named locations in Phoenix, Denver, and Chicago, the former Backstreet has learned how to incorporate country charm into a gay format that even disco bunnies can't resist every now and then, making this Charlie's as popular as the one in nearby Phoenix.
