I recently went to the Charlie Horse with a group of friends. It was a Saturday night and there was a DJ (sometimes they have bands playing). It was a pretty good time, I think the $10 cover is a little steep, but in the South Shore you really don't have TOO many options for going out for a drink and a little dancing. The drinks were good, reasonable, and fast service. The dancefloor is on the small side, and there is a ton of tv's around the edge showing shots of the crowd. The music was a mix of mostly current hip-hop, with some house music too. It was pretty crowded, but the crowd was mostly friendly, upbeat and everyone seemed to really be enjoying themselves. My only suggestion would be for the people working the door to work a little on their customer service skills---they acted like they were doing us a favor by letting us in the club, and taking our $10 apiece. I guess that's the situation most places though. Free parking. There is a game area but we didn't make it to that part.
