Spin the decks and dance the night away at this weekly Open Decks B2B showcase, where two guest DJs take turns behind the turntables under the neon glow of Charlie's iconic country-queer atmosphere. Hosted by Reggay Boots, it's the perfect Friday night to boot-scoot to fresh beats, mix and mingle with the community, and experience the sass and Southern charm that makes this venue a queer rodeo favorite.
