Aunt Charlie's Lounge

Fun drag show closes a bit earlier than expected

Great laid back gay dive bar offers a come as you are vibe. Seems to be a few reviews about the quality of the staff and yeah that would be true, but I think the cheap drinks are the compensation haha.

It was just the sort of down to earth place I had been looking for. They have an assortment of domestic bottled beer for $5, as well as liquor, etc. Met several nice and friendly people the first time I was there, and I was only there an hour or so.

Rude

I can’t express how much I appreciated my time at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge. A friend recommended it as a safe and welcoming place to grab a drink—and that’s exactly what I found and more. As a cisgender woman walking in solo, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But from the moment I entered, I felt embraced. This space holds something special—deeply rooted in community, creativity, and care. The bartender, who I heard has been there over 30 years, was incredibly kind and grounded, and the beer was very reasonably priced. I had thoughtful, unexpected conversations with several patrons—many of whom are artists. We talked about art, community, and museums, and I genuinely felt like I was connecting with people in an authentic way. One lovely person I met even invited me to a future museum outing, and I left full of gratitude (and hugs!).

Amazing place, excellent staff

I seriously love this place. Talented drag performers, nice strong drinks, and non-pretentious customers. What more could you want? Joe is a great bartender, and Olivia is a sweetheart.

What's to say about Aunt Charlie's, a local legend. Stop in for a drink, it is amazing!

One of the gay temple !! I felt safe, made a friend . And..laugh a lot .. you live you are happy 😘

Don't let the address deter you from coming to enjoy an evening show. The lovely ladies are veterans and clearly love what they do. Don't forget your dollar bills so you can show your appreciation of the performers.

Best place!

A time capsule of what gay scene used to be. Chill vibes and fun when there’s drag shows
