The Capital Club

"The best gay bar ever in Columbia. Top's all the other gay bars. We just moved here the most welcoming bar. Never have I walked I to a bar and been greeted as soon as me and my husband sat at the bar. The employees want to make money: bartenders, drag queens, and even the DJ. Hands down, BEST GAY BAR, hell even the drag queens know me and my husband's name. Need to stop in and let them wow you with their southern hospitality. Love this place."

"love the shows and never have issues with getting served drinks. Can be slower during the weeks, but the game nights are fun. My friends and I always have a good time here. Can’t wait to go back!"

"This is one of my favorite places in the Vista to go. The atmosphere, community, and sense of belonging my friends and I feel is unmatched. The entire team at Capital has a special place in my heart, and will always be one of my go-to's in Columbia!"

"Was here on a Thursday at 11pm it was pretty slow. bartender ignored myself and my friend multiple attempts to order drinks then several people that came in after us got drinks within 2 mins and we still we not served, even saw people come in and stand beside us and get drinks and we did not. We left after 30 mins in the bar."

""Perhaps it’s called The Capital Club since it’s located in the capital city of Columbia. Or maybe it’s because it’s one of the area’s most prestigious gathering spots. Either way, this bar takes the title of the oldest and most elite private gay bar in the state. The bar has provided a cultural staple in Columbia for over three decades, and provides its members with an upscale atmosphere prime for networking and mingling." - Best of South Carolina 2017"
