Esther Martin, Joy's mother, bought the bar in 1951 and named it the Wigwam. She renamed it Club Charles in the '70s, and operated it until she retired in the late '90s. Known as "Club Chuck," the dimly lit bar has been a local favorite for a wide range of clientele, from college students and working-class Baltimoreans to musicians and artists like director John Waters. Its website lists famous past visitors like Iggy Pop and Johnny Depp.
