About this place The Capitol Bar

The Capitol Bar is a bar on King Street East in Hamilton, Ontario, listed here as gay-friendly rather than as a dedicated gay bar. Google reviewers rate it 4.6 from about 850 reviews, which suggests a well-used local spot, but we have no phone, website or hours on file and cannot confirm its event programme. If you are after a specifically queer night out, check the bar's social media for drag or Pride events first. Hamilton's LGBTQ+ venues are few, and Toronto's Church-Wellesley Village is about an hour away by GO train.

Features

The Capitol Bar never disappoints. Great food (one of the best burgers in the city) and daily specials, friendly service, decent selection of beers on tap, and damn fine tunes.
