Charlie’s Pub

5 stars for everything; ambiance, service and food. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with fries. The lettuce was fresh, chicken was grilled and well-​seasoned, and the fries were amazing.
Charlie’s is attached to the Water Street in and was a watering hole for travelers and local business men. It has been restored and the ceiling is painted with can can dancers which is part of the original design and structure.
I can’t believe I haven’t tried this
Place before its so great!

We stopped here on a very busy Labor Day. That may account for part of the slow service and staff that seemed inexperienced. I think we hear at least three trays of food get dropped. It took forever to get the bill.
My Bacon turkey avocado wrap was fine and the others in the party also felt the food was OK but not anything special.
My meal came with fries but I had ordered the chips.
Good selection of beers.
Nice location at the very end of the lift bridge.
Overall just standard bar food in a good location.

I’m not giving only one star because probably a lot of the service issues were due to inexperienced server (hopefully he was) and a very busy, understaffed holiday day with beautiful weather. The service was very slow, waiter had no idea what the Soup du Jour was that day, was very slow, waited 20 minutes to tell us that what two of us ordered was all gone. Other customers complained about timing and cold food. Our food was mostly just ok. My appetizer and soup of the day (I took a chance on unknown soup) were actually better than the wraps and sandwiches the other 4 people in our party got. Mediocre food and poor service that hopefully is better when not so busy.

Interesting how the reviews are mostly negative here. My experience was very good.
First time here. We walk up to hostess stand and ask for table, she informs us the kitchen is backed up and food taking up to 45 min. Seemed like an odd greeting. I noticed the 2 people in front of us left when told how long food was taking.
Patio is nice, right on the river. They had live entertainment. Two guys doing Beatles, Neil Young covers. They were fine… vocals not the greatest but that’s the crutch of most free live entertainment. We enjoyed them though.
Started off with wings and a Bloody Mary. Bloody was fantastic with a slice of jalapeño bacon. I had a steak salad and hubs had cobb salad. Both were excellent. Our server Lilly was one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time. She was super friendly, funny and very knowledgable about the menu and hotel. To top it off our food only took 15 minutes. Management needs to talk to servers because while trying to be honest, they are losing customers.
