The Charleston: It used to be a pretty nasty hole in the wall where neighborhood trash downed one too many and unsigned bands made many an ear bleed, but after being closed for a while, they reopened (under new ownership) and reinvented themselves as a spot that quite frankly feels too good to be located on the cooler-than-thou Bedford Ave. The thing is...this bar is cooler than thou with its slight bordello feel, two floors, great drink prices ($5 taps except $4 Yuengling; well drinks are $5), expansive pool area, and a jukebox that could educate some of the clueless who live nearby. They serve food (fried chicken, anyone?) until 3:30am, and offer a tasty brunch (biscuits and gravy) that you don't have to wait an hour just to get seated only then to get bad service and cold food. The bathrooms leave little to be desired, but hey at least there isn’t piss on the main floor like there used to be. We just hope it doesn’t get overrun like some of the others further south and north.
