Charley’s Sports Grill

This northwest Valley joint — you can find it in the back of a plaza on the west side of Loop 101 and Union Hills Drive, near Arrowhead Towne Center — is many things: a bar, a lunch counter, a place to get some off-track betting done. The front room has a fireplace, there’s a back room with a few dozen TVs tuned to sports, and the patio’s nice when the weather’s nice. They serve any domestic beer you can name and breakfast all day. Not in the mood for eggs? Charley’s Home Run Wings come in a variety of flavors, from sweet mesquite BBQ to teriyaki to the frightening-sounding 7 Gun Salute and 4K-HD.
