Flagstaff, AZ - Charly's Pub & Grill

Charly's Pub & Grill

This restaurant is located inside the historic Weatherford Hotel which was established in 1897. There is a lot of history as well as some haunting experiences, which is why we picked this place to try. The Weatherford housed Flagstaff's first telephone exchange company, a number of restaurants, a theater, a radio station and a billiard hall. It survived fire, harsh weather and two world wars. Cowboy author Zane Grey wrote Call of the Canyon while staying at the Weatherford. We heard that the pool room by the bar and the dance hall were both places that people had experience ghostly sightings. Our waiter told us they have had experiences themselves in the dining hall and one of the bathrooms. One of the guest rooms was actually converted into a storage room after so many guests had complained about experience with a ghost newlywed couple that bothers people at night in that room.

As for the food, we sampled a few of the menu items like the southwestern specialty Navajo Taco, which is fry bread topped with taco ingredients. It was very good and the portion is quite large. We tried the cheeseburger, Reuben sandwich and a cold ham sandwich. All were good and moderately priced. The menu ranges from appetizers, soups & salads, mexican, sandwiches, chicken, steak and seafood. Average price per person is about $10 - $18. The history was the reason we stopped by and the food was good too.
