Char Bar is a typical dive bar with a great atmosphere, perfect for grabbing a cheap drink and playing pool, darts, or golden tee. The vibe at Char Bar is unbeatable—no frills, no fuss, just the perfect dive bar. The service is excellent, and the bartenders are highly praised for their quick and friendly service. The beer selection is good, and the drinks, especially the Long Island Ice Tea, are known for being strong and dangerously good. This spot has a chill vibe, with friendly locals and cool music, making it a hidden gem worth visiting for a great time. With a $3 per hour parking deck nearby, it is a convenient choice. Many people aren't aware that Abraham Lincoln spent the night there once many years ago, adding a historical touch to this beloved bar.
Great dive, and a great vibe. Crazy that it is right in the heart of the convention center area, and still thriving, and not bought out by some corporation.

Drinks are okay but cheap. Clean area and cool concept
