Capitol Bar Midtown
Reviews
Move around - any bar in the area is better than this one. The staff is rude, particularly the "door man" who, as mentioned in other reviews, held the line on a Sunday afternoon with the bar not even full. There's not much to speak of inside - a bar and handful of tables. The outside is okay minus the crowd... Not anything but a place to sit though. The hookah wasn't great. The hookah service was non-existent. Seriously, just find another bar. There's nothing uniquely good about this place.
I have visited Capitol Bar a few times during early evening. Great outside patio cabana area and main bar when weather permits is very open and nice. Service was standard but good. I don't like the tight parking or the tight pull up to valet services. It's about 10-12 minutes from my home so that's always a plus.
I've never been to this place and it was slow... Its always busy with a nice crowd and some pretty good DJs playing music outside and inside. The outdoor patio is very large with multiple bar access. Very good atmosphere with friends and public crowd.
Imagine a smaller, crappier version of Cedar Creek plunked downtown. A decent sized bar area gives way to a gravel courtyard, which seems to mainly feature over-sized Jenga blocks, hookahs, and bad dancers. Seriously, there's literally nothing to recommend about this place unless you're in the area and have nowhere else to go -- or truly enjoy any of the three aforementioned entertainments. Take the extra ten minute drive down Washington or Elgin/Westheimer and there's much better.
Nice place...nice size..Def recommend
