About this place Charlie's Denver

Charlie's is Denver's country-western gay bar. It opened in 1981 on East Colfax further east and moved to 900 East Colfax in Capitol Hill around 1989. It's the home bar of the Colorado Gay Rodeo Association. The main room is set up for line dancing and two-step, with lessons on Wednesday and Thursday nights, and a separate room plays pop and dance music. Sunday is drag. The crowd runs from cowboy-hat regulars to younger groups out dancing. Google lists it open from 11am to 2am daily. Get there early in the evening if you want to learn the steps before the floor fills up.

We were visiting from Seattle this weekend and tried most of the gay bars in the area. This was hands down our favorite! The music, the vibes, the sexy staff *chefs kiss*. One of the guys here has the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen we loved him!

This places policy on not taking vertical ids is absolutely ridiculous. I would understand if the id was expired however mine doesn’t expire for another 3 years! I will never be back and if people ask about this place I will tell them to run the other way.
