Charley's Place is a Glendale nightlife favorite for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that this friendly bar and grill keeps its kitchen open until 10 o'clock every night except on Sunday. Plus, the many pool tables and dart boards make it fun to hang out after work and well into the evening. There's also karaoke every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights for all those American Idol wannabes!

It's no secret that Glendale and its surrounding areas have been influenced by an incredible array of cultures. One of the most prevalent in the area's history and development is the Mexican culture. Aside from its food and language that have become part of the mainstream, its celebratory tradition of dance is alive and well in Glendale thanks to the efforts of the Ballet Folklorico Fiesta Mexicana. These young boys and girls are instructed in the technique and expression of dance as an extension of their Mexican heritage. The various dance recitals and productions put on by this group also tell various stories that will mesmerize all who come to experience these colorful performances.
