In Short
In a neighborhood where the nightlife action is reaching epic proportions, this unassuming bar is an oasis for those who want a drink but are unwilling to brave the usual Old City party mayhem. Thanks to its low-key nature and slightly out-of-the-way location, Charlie's is a pleasantly uncrowded place to sit with friends and enjoy a few drinks in relative peace and quiet. The menu is typical bar fare with a surprising Mediterranean accent.

My girlfriend and I have been to Charlie's twice since I moved in the last two weeks. The Mezza appetizer is outstanding and the bartenders and beer selection are up to par with the rest of the Old City bunch. Very low key and relax...but very good food!

Monday night, we stopped by to dry off during a storm and found a haven. I would never have noticed it on a sunny day and am so glad we stumbled into this quiet, quaint tavern. Our server/bartender dished out towels and we settled down for a draft and some fantastic mediteranean food (they have a variety of food choices from American to Greek). With all the pushy servers we have seen during our trip here, it was a delight to have someone who was attentive yet gave us our space. We will be going back next time we are in the Philly area.

I completely disagree with other negative reviews on this site. The staff is friendly and helpful and I've been going to this place for some time now and observed how the staff treats others so I'm not sure of the level of sobriety of some of the other reviewers of this bar, at least as it extends to their ability to right a cogent. adequate, and informed review. The food is very good and the staff is friendly, outgoing and knowledgeable about the beer and other products for sale. My only complaints have to do with the incredible darkness of the place, which can be offputting unless it is in winter. Also, the hours are a bit limited (why not lunch hours?) and they could also do with more forceful advertising. I don't think they get enough business because they are tucked away in a dark and unwelcoming locale. More street appeal would help them greatly. Other than that criticism I highly recommend Charlie's.
