"BEST PLACE TO SHOOT POOL"—Review Journal
"COLDEST BEER IN LAS VEGAS"—LV CityLife
Magazine

Club Charleston was awarded the prestigious
"Best of Las Vegas" as the Review-Journal's
readers' choice for the "Best Place to Shoot Pool."
"AH, THE FRISSON OF MADNESS, power and, yeah, intellectual
probity I felt upon whipping out a needle-like cooking thermometer
and saying to bartenders, "Gimme your coldest beer!" Some
of them thought I was a scientist; others a health department wonk;
others just a smart-ass with an $8 kitchen gadget or a drunk who
likes sharp objects. Some of those are truer than others, but on
this blazing Saturday afternoon I was, in fact, on a search for
the coldest beer in the valley. Not with just my mouth, mind you,
but with the power of Science in my hand -- in the form of a Wal-Mart
digital thermometer that I brandished with such open delight that
on a few occasions a general, palpable anxiety emerged about stab
wounds. Fortunately, only the beer bore the brunt of my piercing
endeavor as I put to the test three claimants to the title of The
Coldest Beer in Las Vegas."
…"A different scene awaits at Club Charleston (5740 W.
Charleston Blvd., 880-3738). Formerly Ozzie's, the bar has retooled
itself into a well-appointed billiards hall. The pub welcomes both
amateur players and seasoned shooters, and the north wing features
a bevy of pristine tables for both. But don't think alcohol is an
afterthought; like its predecessor Ozzie's, Club Charleston still
claims bragging rights for near-freezing beer. Bartender Geanine
is even so thoughtful to point out that, if you're really looking
for the coldest pour, you're better off with the frozen 12-ounce
glass rather than the 24-ounce -- something about surface area contact
and subzero vector currents in a conductive plasma medium (this
is after my third drink). But I suspect she's right: Rigorous scientific
inquiry informs me that a 12-ounce Sam Adams draft registers at
a heat-vanquishing 31.9 degrees."…—LV CityLife
