    If you need some entertainment in these socially distanced times, get on Pearl's mailing list because they are holding live streams of fun shows in lieu of actual concerts. And once the world goes back to normal, check them out because it's a fun venue. As with just about everything in the Wharf, it lacks character and feels very bland, but it's intimate and has solid accoustics. They have a full bar with table service during the shows, plus there's a small side bar that sells food. Several people were enjoying something to eat before the show we attended, though we didn't try anything. For seating options, there are tables and a small dance floor, and when the crowd is packed in, there is great energy. We saw the Chuck Brown Band here not long before things started shutting down for coronavirus, and they really put on a great show. In a sign of the times, they ended the show with "For the love of god, wash your hands!" Hopefully we'll be back out there agaim before too long!

    Love this place. Great music venue with terrific bar service. Really enjoyed the Will Gravatt Band tonight. Once a month! The service was great as always. Didn't partake tonight, but the food is great too!

    I followed some friends here recently after an event down by The Wharf and glad that I did. I didn't know the show was free that date, but on the visit they had a band called "The Grandsons" playing and they were actually good - my first time hearing them. Visiting this spot gave me an opportunity to check out the place as it was my first time inside - whoever came up with the plan to have a free show after a big event in the area was smart as I now know what the inside looks like. I almost had made it here back in Dec 2017 as I had purchased tickets for a show (just couldn't attend). Their box office is to the right of the entrance (outside) and you don't pay any extra charges for tickets. The venue has 2 bars, one was opened to the outside on this date - pretty cool; the other had a TV you can watch - also above this bar they show the next 4 upcoming performers. They have an upstairs which I didn't check out as I was having too much fun on the lower level. When a band is playing and you are enjoying the music, I did not want to be sitting and that seems like the set up upstairs (tables and chairs). The place reminded me of the 9:30 club but on a much smaller scale. Drinks were good and the atmosphere seemed chill. I am actually looking forward to seeing a show here as I like the overall setup.

    I love this place. The venue is on the wharf. It is a great event space. There are two bars, and upstairs dining area, seating around the dance floor and room to just hang. The place is actually bigger than it looks from the outside. The restrooms are large and clean. The staff is nice. There is a convenient coat check area. You won't be able to have a quiet conversation unless the band isn't playing. However it is a great place to just have fun. Metro is conveniently nearby. The menu isn't extensive but the food is good.

    Great music venue! The service is quick and well trained, and the shows are intimate and well done! They are also incredibly generous to vets and first responders!

    Great music venue. I definitely appreciate the food & ticket prices given how crazy expensive this area is now. I've been here many times, everyone from the bartenders to the kitchen staff are all very friendly and pleasant. Music has been awesome every time I have been there. I've had their burgers, loaded tots and cocktails, all really good and tasty. Beer list is pretty awesome too. Highly recommended!

    Delicious tenders and a Caesar salad!

    Amazing atmosphere and really friendly staff. Parking nearby is crazy expensive but it's the wharf

    Thoroughly enjoyed this location!! There's a dance floor (which I believe is the only dance floor available at the wharf)! The drinks are delicious, and the bars are quick at getting what you want! The night we went it was $35/person but you get access to this bar and Saxx Lounge (which has a dress code - 8 mi driving distance from this location). Not sure if that's every night or not, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this spot!!

    During COVID, there wasn't a wait. We were seated immediately late Saturday night. The waitress was kind and very friendly. The food : everything was so salty! Jerk chicken was extremely salty, didn't taste any "Jamaican" flavor. Buffalo shrimp & the Vietnamese wedges had too much sauce. We spent over $130 on the food which consist of like 3 appetizers and 1 salad. 2 beers & 1 cocktail drink. Why was it $130? Well they automatically added in an additional "COVID" tip. One of the things I did not like about this restaurant was at the end, I stood at a distance away from the hostess desk which was located outside; I was facing away from the restaurant talking to my bf and the "bouncer" or who ever came from inside of the restaurant , stood outside the door, and told me I need to have a mask on when I'm inside the establishment. Of course I refused because I wasn't even INSIDE the establishment and was at least 6 foot away from it. Technically I was waiting for the waitress outside the premises. Earlier that night, the worker, he chased me down in the establishment to tell me the same thing as I'm about to walk inside the bathroom. Meanwhile, the bartender and the people at the bar was not wearing a mask at all. The food & rudeness from that one worker was a turn off. Probably won't come back & will not recommend this place.

    Do they play country music here?

    Sure. It's like any other concert venue, the genre of music depends on the bands, so look up the schedule. But they book all kinds of bands. Last time I went there was a folk band.

Well I do enjoy burgers and plenty of places have upped their burger game. As much as it cost for a burger at certain fast food places you might as well hit up some of these other places.

Capital Burger actually has more burger options to choose for over Capital Grille and a more slimmed down menu. Still with the name burger in its name, you know where their focus is. I went with the bacon cheeseburger that comes with candied smoke bacon that came at $22 with your chose of sides (fries or various salads). It was cooked to the perfect medium rare and you can tell when a burger is cooked with better ingredients and cooked with a give a damn. It was not thrown together, and the fries were not just sitting under a heating lamp. I actually ordered a to go burger for the spouse. Here is where customer service comes in. I was asked how far I had to travel and the person taking my order said she will separate portions so it will travel better. Thank you. It is that little extra that goes a long way. This time I went with the Capital Burger to go along with some key lime pie to nibble on later. Great service and great food. There are plenty of good burger places but if you are a burger fan then definitely check this place out. Absolutely no disappointment. For a true high end burger experience I have no problem giving this place a solid five stars.

In fact none of the empty glasses or plates were being cleared. He gave me the regular menus and gave me a look when I asked for the happy hour menu. Ordered the "Hotter than Hell" wings, which would have been a good deal at $7 for six normally. However the wings were tiny, the sauce was hardly hot at all, and I got charged $3 for blue cheese. Still hungry, I'll go somewhere else for better service and better portions. Then I had to ask for napkins, as they weren't given to me.
