About this place The Capital Club

The Capital Club is a gay bar on Gervais Street in downtown Columbia, a few blocks from the South Carolina State House, and one of the longest-running gay bars in the state. It is a lounge-style place rather than a dance club: a cocktail bar with sofas, regulars at the bar and an older-skewing crowd, with drag shows and game nights on some evenings. Google reviewers rate it 4.0 from about 80 reviews. We have no phone, website or hours on file, so check its social media for current hours and event nights before heading over.

Amazing bartender, unfortunately I didn’t catch her name. The owner is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met! Great drinks, inclusive atmosphere. Man I wish I still lived in Columbia!

Worst Bar in Columbia, bartender Matthew was M.I .A. and running around the bar playing music instead of serving me and my husband drinks.
