This place truely is a the capital of bends night life! Went there twice.Thursday at 9:30pm, very sleepy not busy but there is pool and the bartender is very nice. Great drink selection.Friday: total vibe when the djs pump the DIRTY FILTHY BEATS. Really the best place for edm or dancing in bend in my opinion. Great crowd no cover plenty of space.The beer selection is rough no blue moon corona or Guinness.

Fun vibe, positive people. Decent DJs. Small dance area, but not overly crowded. A few good beers on tap. Great place to blow off steam on a weekend in Bend.

This place has the worst crowd and terrible vibes. Every time I get dragged here something uncomfortable happens. People here are just generally rude and confrontational. Might be fine for your first drink but the later it gets, the worse it gets here.Wheelchair accessibility: You will have to be carried down the stairs because this place is not ADA accessible.

Do you remember the Alamo? Much like Almaron Dickinson, I pulled up to the scene at the Alamo guns 'a blazin. Left my child bride at home with dysentery, tied up my horse and buggy and was ready to paint the town red. I felt that The Capitol would be a good respite after my recovery, and they delivered. I was greeted by a 5'6 Irishman with a lazy eye that gazed at me like a star in the night. Upon being let in to this diverse hostel, my top hat imploded due to the low ceilings. After undergoing a hefty cover charge, I expected the service of at least a coat rack. I carry a heavy trench coat (1" Kevlar to stop low-velocity handgun bullets). Their lack of elixirs had me clenching my cheeks, but, thankfully there were many beautiful women to distract me from the struggles of my recent marriage (I hadn't expected to encounter dystentery so soon). Thank god they turned off the dubstep so I could perform a harmonica solo. I tried to clench it but accidentally ripped a beefy squeaker that cleared the dance floor. Except for one man, for what to my wondering eye appeared to be doing interpretive robot ballet. It was not my cup of tea but I think it's very important to be open-minded to the preferences of others. Though he's usually very elusive, even Ralph Waldo Emerson (the chipmunk who takes shelter in my top hat) emerged at the first few notes of a new-age remix of Rocky Raccoon. Better still, they lubed up the dance floor with Crisco which made for a greasy, groovy, glorious time. If you thought the river was a slick ride - this is the true place for lubin' and tubin' (if you know what I mean). Long story short, if you ever doubt remembering the Alamo, you MUST check out this spot.

My husband and I went there last night to see a comedy show promoted as 'Dad Jokes'. It was a gimmick. It was the night before Fathers' Day. There were children there with their parents. A comedian ma have said one thing about his father, but the performance was their usual acts. No person under 18 should have been in there. Most of the 'humor' and language was vulgar, especially considering children were present. Here is an example- there was a long dialog about older men bleeding profusely from Hemorrhoids and having to go to Target to buy tampons to insert in their anus. We left after the third 'comic'.

Great place for drinking, dancing and partying! It's not a restaurant/pub. But they have a small snack station (hot dog, popcorn, soft drinks, etc.) They also have pool table. The bathrooms were surprisingly very clean!

I came in on a Tuesday and it was slow, but starting to pick up when I left. Great atmosphere, great drinks and cool music. I would love to come back on a weekend.

I'm not one to write reviews but this place needs some exposure and help Bend to improve its night life. Although the Capitol has a great location and space, the vibe is lacking in the soul, vision and aesthetics categories. I had a group of about 20 and although we liked the DJ's music (house I believe) the sound system was a bit much and was too loud. I had heard this place has a reputation of unfriendly and overly blasting beats. The bar tenders seemed to have a chip on their shoulder and maybe that's by design. I thought that trend was over... At least after a pandemic it should be.

The best dancing and concerts in down. Super cool atmosphere. Never have had a problem here, and the staff is super chill :)

Everyone needs to see Brandt spin at capitol at least 427 times before they die

Bartenders are overtly racist. Stood at the bar with my husband for 5 minutes and was ignored while every white customer that approached the bar after us was served immediately. Disgusting.

Mandy Munson

Very awesome atmosphere and great people working there which is a plus:)
