What People Are Saying About The Charleston
Featured Review

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. A room in the back is cozy, with semicircular booths and soft red lighting. Music from Sinatra's day through the '70s is covered on a jukebox whose seriously old speakers make everything sound a little bit better for being a little bit worse. Benny owns the pizza kitchen next door as well, in case you need something with your beer. – – The Scene – Even as Bedford Avenue has become the new…
Editor's Tips
- On the Menu:
- Don't miss Honeychiles, the Charleston's cajun kitchen serving enormous fried po'boys and the like.
- Know Before You Go:
- The free pizza you got with a beer at happy hour is no more.

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.

THE NEW BARTENDERS RULE! !! MONTANA IS ONE OF THE BEST AND FUNNIES BARTENDERS ON BEDFORD AVE!!!
by pauldown
During the week, every time i've been there it always good times. Around 25 to 40 people at it's peek, which i think is a good vibe. i can always get a drink within 2 mins of my glass being empty.On sunday nights you'll find a very select scene of: smart ,older punkrockers listening to Erik (Golden Error) Dj. RAD.
- Pros: good and cheap drinks/ nice dim lighting/ good people / the food is really good( for a bar) friendly bartenders
- Cons: they serve food till 330!!!!! witch is really good.......but is it?.......don't want to get fat

Fridays do rock
by nyrocker76
Fridays are the best. It gets going around 8:00. The drinks are cheap and the locals are really friendly. Good for hearing some NYC area bands but not overdoing it on Friday night.
