Charlie O's

Nice place for nice people, not sure what everyone’s talking about in the reviews. Had a great time here

It's not as weird or divey as I hoped. I'm not sure about the two big guys that closed up with matching beanies. They were a bit aggressive in general, I don't know their actual affiliation.

Honestly insane experience. Got cut off after one beer because the bartender “didn’t feel comfortable serving” because my group and I were too enthusiastic” (AKA playing pool and enjoying karaoke). Don’t work at a bar if you can’t handle people having fun.

Chill spot, major dive bar vibes. No live music at the time we were there but I wonder how they fit in there when they are. Very friendly and attentive bartender, nice patrons and pool tables if there's interest. Just watch your back if at the bar, you may get cued if you're too close. Prices are decent for Montpelier with at least one option that's a $3 draft. Will return if invited again.

We were there for a going away get together. We were outside there wasn't enough room inside. It's a nice hole in the wall place to get drinks. We tried to get food but they didn't really have any. It's a nice little bar to go and get drinks.

People trying to play pool and have a crowd watching the music didn't really work too well. The pool tables take up a ton of space and there's no space for the crowd for the band. Was having to move out of the way so people could take their pool shots. Also later was sitting at the bar and a guy playing pool elbowed me in the head, didn't apologize. A dive for nice people, eh? My experience with the bar service was positive. Mixed overall on the place, wouldn't go again for live music

It's a great bar. Pool tables, drinks, strong coffee in a beer mug, live music, friendly bartenders. Just great.

Too much drama and passive aggression but that's how it goes in a small town with almost no nightlife. Kudos to Charlie O's for not being a source of real trouble in Montpelier, especially for a (try hard) "dive" bar.
