The Setting – The Charleston is a tackily appealing, dimly lit room. The ancient bar stretches down the side, and is usually manned by Benny, the proprietor for uncounted decades.

So - So times at the Charleston
by Trunchbull
This place is alright. The pizza is mediocre (until you consider it's free!!). Drinks are pretty reasonably priced, nothing below $5 though. The only problem with this place is the waitstaff. There are maybe 2 nice bartenders in the whole place. The rest are pretentious and judgmental. I've walked in here and turned on a dime because I've recognized a particularly rude server from previous visits. Don't even bother trying to place an order unless you're clad from head to toe in the latest from American Apparel or Urban outfitters. There are way friendlier places to head to in this part of town.
