    Good place to go watch some drag and get fairly cheap drinks! Staff is nice and bar service is efficient.

    They were charging 25$ cover charge that's a little exorbitant. So I didn't get to go in. After that no way I recommend this Gay bar.

    I'm beyond disappointed in this club, as a queer person I have never felt so uncomfortable in a supposedly "queer friendly" space

    The food was EXCELLENT! The service was horrible. The bartender was very busy and someone came to…read morelend her a hand. I had ordered To-Go food. I asked this lady if my food was ready. She said no but she never checked. I saw two carry out trays sitting on top of the shelf where the kitchen staff places the food orders. Finally I walked over and had someone checked if that was my food and it was. It had been sitting there for ten minutes. I told the woman that was supposed to have checked if it was ready and her reply was "OH WELL" I had written a tip for 20% so walked over to my check and lowered it to 1%. It is a shame that they employ people with such attitudes.

    We stopped in here on our recent trip to the area as it has an outdoor dog friendly patio option…read moreand we were traveling with our Frenchie. It took a bit for our server to come acknowledge us but once he did, he was very helpful and attentive. My boyfriend ordered a peach Kentucky mule (they originally said they couldn't make that, which we questioned with it being a distillery, but our server came back and said they could after all). He enjoyed it and said it's one of the better ones he's had! We both ordered smash burgers and sweet potato fries - I had the junction 35 (pimento cheese + bacon jam) and he had the farmhouse (bacon + fried egg). Both were amazing! Juicy burgers, perfect size patties for smash burgers, the buns were fresh and held up nicely, and the toppings were great. Sweet potato fries had a great crunch and were seasoned really well. Service was great, food was high quality and had great flavor, and the dog friendly patio was perfect for our pup. It's located in a nice little strip of shops and restaurants, and has a common area of cornhole and other games that would be fun for an activity before/after dinner, or if you have kids in tow. We'd definitely make another trip here when in the area.

    I was in Kingsport for a long weekend and found out there would be a live Rocky Horror performance…read moreat Capone's in JC while I was visiting. Naturally I bought a ticket weeks in advance and got out my "Janet" costume. Rocky Horror is my not so secret secret love and I've been to dozens and dozens of performances throughout the southeast and in the UK. A girlfriend joined me and we met up at Capone's. The bar itself was really beautiful. A wall of booths lined the left and the substantial bar was parallel. The bouncers checked us in online and we got our wristbands with no issue. Drinks were up first and as I had a 30 minute drive back to Kingsport, I limited myself to one, but it was really good! Top shelf gin and soda with extra lime (to cover up the gin flavor - haha!) We moved beyond the bar into the second lower level space which was a mini/performance venue. The kind I frequented in high school and college (before kids, really...) and we staked out a place at the front so we could see the whole thing. Partially because I freaking love Rocky Horror and partially because my girlfriend is super petite and wouldn't be able to see over anyone's head if we didn't. I was delighted that there was an opening band. Having no idea what to expect I thought it was a bonus. However the bigger surprise was that the opening band was part of the Rocky cast! It ended up being a fantastic musical rendering of the movie and musicals I have seen before, complete with costumes and a word for word script recitation along with all musical numbers. We were blown away. I wish I could have gone back again for a chill evening at the bar, but I give it my full approval. The drinks were good, the aesthetic is really sumptuous and pretty, the restrooms were clean and the show was super fun!!! I'll make it back next time I'm in Kingsport or JC.

One of her friends was trying to help her, and the owner grabbed her by the arm so she could not get her friend. My friend pressed charges because she has a video of the incident. And I'm pretty sure that this was not the first time this bouncer has done that. What a joke this place is, and no one is being held accountable.
