business has closed. as of 06february2020 no service available. this used to be fireflies. food was great, but business unable to remain opened. consider visiting sister restaurant "live oak" nearby, on commonwealth ave - (north on mount vernon toward dc, left at red light.) also might check out the garden next door, if open.

Friendly staff, good food, and laid back atmosphere. One of my go-to bars.

This place blows me away everytime my wife and I go there. Tasty food and friendly staff. Oh yeah, don't forget the beer! Good selection but could always improve.
Jameson Cunningham
Good salad. Good beer selection.

CAVEAT: We ordered our food to be delivered via GrubHub, so I've never been to the restaurant. Maybe the ambiance adds to the dining experience?

Who would even know if the food is good? Went tonight for a friends gathering at 9pm. The sign says open until 11pm. The man came to our table and told us they were closed. We asked why. He said...oh that's business. Well it's also business that we won't come back.

Waitress was nice and guy kept the water glasses full multiple times.

We've been here once before. My parents live within walking distance. Tonight's dinner was great. Appetizers and entrees were all good. The chocolate chip cookies and milk were a nice little end. The service was good and the beer was good! Ambiance is great for this wonderful neighborhood gem. I definitely recommend.

Nice little spot with plenty of tv’s. I had the buffalo chicken wrap with fries and my partner had the bbq sliders, and we loved it. Food and service were both great, and I’ll probably make this my new go-to spot for watching hockey games during the week. Hope to come back for trivia night sometime as well.

Love the atmosphere. The staff are very friendly, and I would recommend the old Bay wings every day of the week.
I hope the ownership of Charlie's reads this review, as I genuinely want your restaurant to succeed; however, the two times we have eaten there, we have had two very avoidable bad experiences. We first went to eat on a Sunday afternoon - it took 20 minutes for us to even be acknowledged by a server and unfortunately the service never got better over the course of our meal. Your restaurant emphasizes watching Sunday NFL games; however, the staff appeared ill-prepared to handle a large crowd on the one day during the week you prioritize patronage. We decided to give the restaurant a second chance and went there this Friday evening. We have a child that needs a high-chair and couldn't be seated because the restaurant did not have any high chairs available. The staff said the restaurant only has 2 high chairs for the whole restaurant. How does a local family restaurant only have 2 high chairs?!?!

Great spot for bar food. The smoked wings were great and they had an excellent beer selection. Somebody at a nearby table ordered the fried chicken and it looked delicious. The kids burger was great. This is our new spot when we just want some better/than/your-standard bar food.

Great neighborhood place - easy, casual, good food. Love the hot pretzels, tacos and ribs! Trivia night is fun too!
Jake Wilson
Always enjoyed my food whenever I visited here. My husband and I really liked this place. Menu was very good and staff was lil bit busy but provided us their best services. I definitely revisit this place to try the full menu!

Great meatball sub, bread had a good crunch to it and the whole sub wasnt too soggy from all the toppings. In my opinion too much cheese but it was a great atmosphere and nice place.
