Check Point Charlie Reviews
Had a great time there. Staff is welcoming and friendly 👍
Daniel was the best bar tender and all the local patrons made us feel like family. Thanks, guys.
I like a dive bar as much as anyone else.
What I don't like is seeing my wife run out of the place because she encountered a rat on her way to the restroom.
I am glad we hadn't ordered food
