Club Charlies opened earlier this year to give Third Ward workers and residents another spot for casual dinner and drinks. Framed by a front wall of floor to ceiling windows, this is a great summer time hang out with cool breezes and plenty of light.

But, all winter long there are plenty of dining deals to make this a Third Ward destination. Home of the "Six Buck Lunch," don't miss beef sliders, Charlies chopped salad or pulled pork and slaw.

If you find one of the owners behind the bar, be sure to ask for the story behind the name Charlies!

When to go: Open at 11 a.m. daily, hit up Club Charlies during the lunch hour for a six dollar deal or stop in after work for daily happy hour specials.
