The tools of the bar include the most sought-after liquors, mixers and ingredients. In sort of a back-to-the-future twist, it has been a devotion to handmade classic and custom cocktails (the Aviation vs. the Cropduster) that has established Capital Bar as a nationally-regarded spirits destination. All this said, we strive to create a fun, relaxing experience for all of our guests: The friendly atmosphere is especially suited to business lunches, after-work drinks and get-togethers, as well as special date nights.

    Love the ambiance. Food is exceptional. We booked reservations months ago as Valentine’s Day is my birthday as well. When they went to seat us, it was right by front door. We asked for alternative and were moved in back near kitchen entrance. When we made reservations, we indicated we were also celebrating a birthday. No one as much as acknowledged us. I can recommend for fine food and great atmosphere. But not all seating is equal. Request a “nice” table.

    Service and food excellent. The diner enjoys an experience within a first class, sophisticated environment. We would have appreciated a slightly larger table, as we felt like we were relegated to the children’s corner. Luckily for us the group seated at the only larger table in the room welcomed us into their conversation and we thoroughly enjoyed each other’s company. We look forward to returning very soon.

    One of our favorite places to go for special occasions! Our server was very friendly and attentive to us the entire evening! The food was amazing! We enjoyed the pimento cheese and crackers as appetizers and both had the NY strip as our entree. Both steaks were cooked exactly as we had asked. Thank you for making our Valentine’s Day special!
