My partner and I were recommended Charlie's Bar by a fellow traveller and we were not disappointed! It had a great atmosphere and very cool decor. Charlie was also extremely friendly and recommended some fantastic Colombian beers! Well worth a visit if your in the area!
Charlie's Bar and Grill is a must if you find yourself in beautiful Santa Marta! Great drinks, great food, but most important, good people make this place wonderful. Charlie, the owner, has so much energy and passion for this bar and meeting the world travelers. His enthusiasm will be evident in all aspects of your visit. Swing by for a drink and you may find yourself staying in Santa Marta for a few extra days…salud!
Charlie's is a great place to chill and have a cold beer or mixed drink. Delicious Mojitos are a specialty. Just off the Parque de los Novios. Close enough to still be around the action but just far enough away to feel some breathing room. Funky old furniture mixed with modern. I was lucky to get the red velvet love seat when I was there. Charlie loves to dance and if you hang around long enough he might invite you to join him. Great music and mix of people. Very relaxed. The place to meet fellow travelers.
Charlies is my favorite place to hang out in Santa Marta. There are always such beautiful people and such great music there, and Charlie is the friendliest guy I've ever met. You should all try the Jarra -- good alone, but best shared with friends, new or old.
Charlie's was a great time. It's a local bar where Charlie the owner was there recommending drinks, talking with us and making our night there all the more special. He definitely helps make the place what it is. The night was nice and we sat outside. The music was great. I would definitely check it out.
The owner will treat you like family. If you're in the area, don't miss the opportunity to stop in and enjoy a top quality meal or drink.
Had a fantastic time hanging out at Charlie´s and would definitely recommend it to everyone between backpackers, the party crowd, or even those just looking for a cool place to get dinner. The environment was really laid back and I even got to hang out with the owner and staff, all of whom were really cool and shared my love of travel. The music was great, too, and Charlie´s is the one-stop bar for the evening and late into the night, especially for the international crowd. Swing by if you are in town and see what its about and hit up the drink specials.. you won´t regret it!
Easy to find, great service, good atmosphere and strong drinks- exactly how I like my bars! Owner was there and told some great stories AND turns out he was a Peace Corps volunteer too! Would definitely recommend!
When I was in Colombia I went to Charlie's Bar every night. Great drinks, authentic food, live music, and always an energetic crowd. Recommended for both travelers and locals for a great night out!
A perfect place to stop and have a drink or beer. Not very expensive, good music and professional made cocktails
