Fresh OJ & grapefruit juice for your refreshment needs, with a covered patio or tables out front in the sun. A simple bar, clean and friendly, Charlies is a WDM institution. Bring cash!
There are just certain places that have been there forever and still remain one of "those spots" to go experience. I have loved this place since I first visited probably a decade ago. They are cash only so have some on hand or be prepared to use the ATM. They use fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juice for their screwdrivers, greyhounds, etc. The juice is awesome and something they are just known for. Their margaritas are pretty good too. They do pour pretty heavy so be prepared. The free popcorn is always the right amount of oil and salt ans the bowls they provide are generous. They did have a food truck outside of the patio, but we did not partake. All in all this is another Des Moines establishment I hope to be able to go to 10 or 20 years from now. A unique little spot.
