A club for all mankind: Sampling the Valley’s best unpretentious hangs

CARLOS’N CHARLIE’S Ever since LGBT-themed burger bar Hamburger Mary’s closed in the early ’00s, we’ve been waxing nostalgic for a kitschy, tropical restaurant to step up and fill the void. Our wish was finally granted this month when the Mexican grill inside the Flamingo launched its new weekly outdoor LGBT party, Sunset Sundays, featuring appearances by long-standing drag staple Divas Las Vegas. With no cover and no dress code (plus a $20 all-you-can-drink bar until 2 a.m.), the no-fuss vibe at Carlos’n Charlie’s makes the restaurant and bar an ideal spot to wind down as the weekend comes to close. Bring a few buddies or make a few new ones while throwing back margaritas, noshing on chips and salsa and dancing on the patio—and when you hear the whistle, you better make sure your ass is at the bar, ’cause that free shot has your name on it. Flamingo, 702-522-9254. Monday & Tuesday, 8 a.m.-1 a.m.; Wednesday-Sunday, 8 a.m.-3 a.m. —Leslie Ventura

HAVANA GRILL One by one the dining-room lights wink out, leaving banana-leaf wallpaper washed with specks, squiggles and kaleidoscopes of neon coming from the booth. DJ Krazy eases the Cuban restaurant into its nightclub alter ego with some shimmery EDM, weaving it into traditional salsa, banging reggaeton and stick-in-your-head hip-hop, bouncing from Romania’s Edward Maya to Jamaica’s Ini Kamoze, Bolivia’s Azul Azul to Puerto Rico’s Daddy Yankee. Later in the Saturday night set, singer Gladys will add live talent to the beats making teen girls start conga lines, parents twirl their toddlers and older women dance like it’s four drinks in and 40 years ago. It’s joyous and totally relaxed, like the best wedding reception of your life. But that doesn’t mean you won’t see gorgeous girls in stilettos and sequined booty shorts showing you how cumbia is done. And there is bottle service, but why bother when you can have a table for an $8 mojito? 8878 S. Eastern Ave. #100, 702-932-9310. Live entertainment Friday-Sunday, times vary. —Erin Ryan


FREEZONE It might be the cheap drinks. Or that it’s not somewhere to see and be seen. Or maybe it’s the dancefloor’s communal stripper pole, not strictly reserved for ab-tastic go-gos. Whatever it is, people seem to be comfortable at FreeZone. Just ask any of the girls (or boys!) who attempt their sexydance skills on that pole. And while a lot of the nightlife geared toward the gay community caters to niche communities like bears, Burners and the I’m-Never-Missing-Leg-Day set, you’ll find a more diverse crowd at the Fruit Loop staple. Men, women, young, old, all different scenes and styles and usually every part of the LGBTQ spectrum will be represented, (though the weekly Ladies Night obviously skews one way). So come as you are for the friendly service, fierce drag queens and those inexpensive cocktails. Why not stop in next time on the way to Piranha? The pole’s calling your name. 610 E. Naples Dr., 702-794-2300. 24/7, karaoke Monday & Tuesday; drag shows Wednesday, Friday & Saturday; Latin Night Thursday; Ladies Night Sunday. —Mark Adams



INSERT COIN(S) Frogger is life. Think about it. In the beginning, you realize patience is a virtue, that if you take your time, survey your surroundings and move carefully, everything comes easy. But as you advance through Frogger/life, everything gets complicated and moves faster. If you chill on any lily pad or floating log for too long, a snake could bite you. So it goes at Insert Coin(s), still the most singular and welcoming bar along Fremont East. Sipping on a Red Stripe, browsing the old-school arcade cabinets and mixing it up with friends while mellow hip-hop thumps ... this is the relaxed early vibe. But when the DJ takes over around 10—like Silent John did last week, pushing the pace with funk and soul—it’s time to ditch the joystick and join the nerdy-cute crowd on the dancefloor. If there’s an easier place to have fun Downtown, show me. 512 Fremont St., 702-477-2525. Wednesday-Sunday, 8 p.m.-close. —Brock Radke




REVOLVER The northwest isn’t known for its nightlife, but for country fans, the action is at Revolver at Santa Fe Station. Wear your favorite buffalo plaid tee and put on your best cowboy boots, then get your dance on underneath Delilah, the saloon’s 6-foot mirrored armadillo. On Saturday night, Dee Jay Silver’s on the decks, spinning the latest in chart-topping country, and Revolver offers up plenty of drink specials like $2 drafts, $2 moonshine, Jell-O shots and $2 well drinks for ladies. Got two left feet? Revolver isn’t the best place for the uninitiated, but the country bar offers complimentary line-dancing classes from 8 to 9:30 p.m. every Wednesday and Friday, so you can learn the basics, then show off your new skills to a lucky partner—or at the very least, a big, shiny armadillo. Santa Fe Station, 702-515-4390. Wednesday & Friday-Sunday, 8 p.m.-2 a.m. —LV

19th-century shipwreck uncovered on Hull beach

When Victor Mastone got a call last week informing him that the ribs of a ship were protruding through the sand on a Hull beach, he dropped everything and made for the harborside town.

As the state director of underwater archeological resources, Mastone says those are the calls he dreams about.


“The lesson I have learned — and it took me many years to learn — is as soon as you get the call, get out there. Because chances are if you don’t, the wreckage will get covered up,” he said.

Mastone believes the latest discovery, found by a beachgoer while the tide was out at Nantasket Beach last week, is the remains of a wooden cargo ship used to carry supplies like timber in the late 1800s.


“These were the buses, box trucks, and 18-wheelers of the 19th century and even earlier. During that time it was cheaper for them to move things by boat,” Mastone said.


He reached his preliminary conclusion based on the materials used to build the boat, and the way the ship was constructed using wood fasteners.

Mastone said the ship is most likely a two- to three-masted schooner that is 100 feet long and 30 feet wide. The stern of the boat is pushing through the sand.


Mastone said there are quite a few wrecks like this off Hull, but it’s rare that a visitor would be able to see them on land.

The natural shift of the ocean’s current pulled just the right way to create a sandbar that uncovered the artifact. The intense winter storms also played a role in removing sand from the beach and revealing the remnants, officials said.


“This site provides the public — especially the nondiving community — with an opportunity to experience a real shipwreck,” Mastone said. “This is a rare experience.”




The Hull Lifesaving Museum, which has been working closely with Mastone on the find, will act as the state’s agent and assist in investigating the ship’s history.

Peter Wild, the museum’s executive director, said he is assembling a team of volunteers to help excavate the ship as best they can to get a better look at the wreckage and positively identify it.


“So far we did enough digging to confirm that it’s an old wreck,” Wild said. “We’ll do one big dig between tides this week.”

Once it’s uncovered, experts will photograph the remains and examine its components.

“This is absolutely fascinating and a new piece of information, and we don’t get pieces of information like this often,” Wild said.

State officials are encouraging curious onlookers to stop by the beach at low tide to take in the site, but are warning them not to touch the ship’s wooden fragments.

Mastone said it would be illegal for a member of the public to take anything from the ship. Both Hull police and the Massachusetts Environmental Police are keeping watch.

Mastone said the boat could be buried by summer’s end, so people interested in examining the artifact should visit soon.

“The site . . . provides a connection with our maritime past; our collective maritime heritage. At even the most basic level, people tend to forget the strong connection between man and the sea,” he said.
