When you need a beer... 5/12/2010

Charlie's is really great for two things: 1) being outside and 2) drinking beer. The Beer Garden is a summer haven. Other than that, it is not my fav -- The burgers didn't impress me, and neither did the 10 minute wait for a server (and a snarky one at that) to come over to our table on a pretty quiet weekday night. But for when the weather's too good to meet up for drinks inside, there's nowhere else you want to go but Charlie's. more

Great food, So, So service 6/18/2008

The food here is GREAT and the prices are good too. Try the steak tips, they are EXCELLENT. They have a pretty good variety so everyone could find something. The only problem was the service, it was pretty slow and very hard to get refills. Pros: FOOD, PRICE Cons: SERVICE more

Good beer, Good music 11/29/2007

Good beer and a very very good music selection are the main draws for us to Charlie's Kitchen. The waitstaff is charmingly unenthusiastic, but I guess that's just part of the experience. The food is nothing to write home about...typical bar food...just beware that if you order a grilled cheese and other people order burgers, there's a good chance that your sandwich will be fairly chilly when it gets to the table. My only real objection is that last time we were there, they were playing a discovery channel TV show at the bar that was pretty much just animals mauling and eating each other. The guy friends I was with thought it was entertaining, but watching entrails being strewn about didn't help my appetite at all. more

I wish I had their jukebox in my apartment 11/22/2006

The upstairs is by far my favorite place to grab a drink, eat cheap greasy food, and listen to Jawbreaker or New Order blasting from the jukebox. Pros: Jukebox, beer, patrons Cons: Visiting always makes me really want a tattoo more

Good beer list, aweome wait staff! 8/3/2006

Don't anger the waitresses! They can be surly but they're great! Food is okay--it's cheap bar food-grilled cheese, veggie soup, cheap decent burgers. Avoid the vegatarian options, they usually don't turn out well. Trivia is competitive but fun. The upstairs is usually better than downstairs--unless it's karaoke night or live band night, both of which should be avoided. Pros: Close to subway, good crowd Cons: Crowded, dirty more

Come for what you get 5/6/2006

This place is great if you're expecting it. It's rough around the edges atmosphere is appealing for grabbing a burger and a beer with your friends. The beer list is great for the dive atmosphere. The double cheesburger is a the best choice on the menu. If they are serving the lobster bisque, I don't recommend missing it. Can't say enough good things about Charlie's. Pros: Cheap food, Beer Selection, Atmosphere Cons: Cramped Size, Spotty Waitresses more

Good Goodness 4/14/2004

This Cambridge landmark can be noisy and packed. But when it comes to morning after hangover cures, or late night study breaks, this is the place. Greasy, huge portions, washed down with cold beers. Pros: Awesome food, Cheap eats more

lotta great guys!! 12/13/2002

This place rocks at night- I'm a stewardess new in town, and this place is crawling with great guys! No more cold winter nights for me. Great beer on tap, awesome jukebox. The only negative is the old men sitting at the downstairs bar exchanging old drinking stories, and tipping over their glasses. Otherwise, a gal's dream come true! Pros: jukebox, company, beer Cons: some other patrons more
