Charley's is a cool place that has been around since 1969 on the site of a former sugar plantation.  Famous singer Willie NELSON is good friends with the owners comes here and plays 2 to 3 times a year. There is a big stage in the back of the bar.  The day we were there there was an artist on stage doing paintings.  Charley's is very much a western theme, with big swinging saloon doors on the side to the parking lot.  They have a 10 foot high  guitar as a tribute to Willie NELSON and a lot of other Willie NELSON memorabilia throughout. The sit-up bar is fairly long and seats 14 people, 11 on swivel chairs and 3 on on non-swivel chairs.  down the middle are 5 pub high tables for 2.  They have 8 booths for for or 6 people.  there are several tables for 4 and 3 TV's.  For lunch I had the Chicken Burger which is on a brioche bun, grilled chicken breast, avocado, tomato, pickles, onions, cheese and lettuce and came with fries.  It was pretty good!  My better half had the Greek Salad with grilled chicken breast which was sliced up.  She said that it was very good.  As for drinks, the house drinks which are mostly Hawaiian and run $ 12 to $14.  Happy hour runs from 2pm to 6pm and Wine is $4.00, select draft beer in $5 and domestic bottle beer in $4.00, and well drinks are $4.00.  We really enjoyed it here and look forward to coming back!!
I don't know what is in store for the future due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
