I got stamped and came in and got drinks and I went to my car to get something but it was raining so my stamp got smeared and they wouldn't let me back in and the security guard was extremely rude even though I had proof of me being in there

Only giving a 1 star rating because there is no 0 or warning rating is available. I've been going downtown Johnson City for years but it was my 1st and last time at #capones. The line was long and the young kid at the door was letting who he chose to get in. While I was downstairs, a major fight had happened upstairs. I went to the bathroom and found 4 workers there who asked me to go in and make those girls leave. Mind you I hand no idea who it was or what had transpired. I told them I wasn't risking my safety nor was I doing their job. During this time the girl I arrived with was nowhere to be found. I asked every person in there if they had seen her then went upstairs to do the same. Again, the cocky boy at the door told me to stop asking people about my missing friend after the violence that transpired earlier, then told me to leave and nit cone back. I'm 51 years old and drank nothing but water. The place was utter chaos and unsafe for everyone in there. The boy at the door was beyond rude and humiliated me in front of everyone there. IF YOU VALUE YOUR SAFETY AND EXPECT EMPLOYEES TO BE HELPFUL DO NOT GO THERE. I would love to talk to the owner or manager about how I was treated. My roofing company did a lot of repairs to their asphalt roof because we had the only working asphalt kettle to pump the hot tar to the roof. My reputation is spotless in Johnson City, yet I was treated like a criminal. I've never felt so unsafe in all of my years being downtown. The cocky boy at the door who was on a power ride should not be allowed to deal with the public. Especially those of us who do not drink alcohol

Great place to go out! I went clubbing for the first time ever in October and it was beyond amazing! I'm leaving 4 stars because when I got there they were playing the Cupid Shuffle and that was weird to me.

I was in Kingsport for a long weekend and found out there would be a live Rocky Horror performance at 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.

Best bar in Johnson City no doubt. Bar up front, dance club with a bar in the back. Best spot for sure!

Bouncers are actual neo-nazis and have assaulted patrons and unsuspecting bystanders alike on many occasions, unprovoked.

Never plays good music. They always play the same 10 songs and expect you to be lit. The guys In here will you watch you all night but be too scared to say a word. Smells like sweat and backwoods. Everyone’s tired of hearing turn down for what.

Staff has always been friendly. Drinks are decent. I've seen a few shows there & always had a great time. I like the divisions in the bar. There's the table area, the stage area & the booty shaker back room. You can surely find a place to be comfortable there. I also like that it is non-smoking because it doesn't bother me a bit to step outside to smoke leaving the inside air clear. I'll always recommend this bar & look forward to my next visit.

Please refer to my Google review to see the full story, but stay FAR away from this place! The bouncers are bully's and look for any reason to hurt someone! The City of needs to shut this bar down!

Went there a few weeks ago with my fiancé around 1am on a Saturday night. Walked to the doorman with both of our ID's, masks on, and just wanting to grab a few drinks to get out of some chilly weather. The doorman was very rude and stated that the ID's I gave him were not ours! First off, I'm 32 years old and have a great career as a Physicians Assistant in DC and my Fiancé is an RN in the same area. Why would we want to use fake ID's? lol. After a while, they let us in and we waited 30 more minutes to get a drink with around 15 people at the bar (we ordered a vodka tonic and a whiskey sour, pretty simple), but they tasted HORRABLE! They put way too much alcohol in them and we asked if the drinks can be fixed, but the bartender said "That's how we make them". We decided to suffer through them since we paid for them already and proceeded to walk around. We walked down to this dark room, I'm guessing some sort of a "Night Club" but looked very neglected and smelled horrible. It looked and smelled like dive bars nobody goes to in a bigger city. A tall bouncer walked by us hitting my shoulder and knocking my drink out of my hand, he looked back and knew what happened, but walked away. I asked him if I can get another drink to replace, and he got angry with me and told us to get out! We were shocked at his attitude from the beginning of the conversation and couldn't believe this! We were happy to leave after the experience we had and went to another bar. We later walked by around 2:45am and watched all of them walking out and fighting in the street!!! If this represents Johnson City, then we are more than happy to stay away! What a horrible rotten apple in a beautiful town. City officials should investigate this place.

Capone's is a great bar, it has great musical acts often, plus a good selection of beer
