Reviews for Capone's

11/15/2024 - Lindsay R.
I checked out this club for the first time in October and had an amazing experience! I'm giving it 4 stars because they were playing the Cupid Shuffle when I arrived, which was a bit odd. While in Kingsport for a long weekend, I discovered a live Rocky Horror performance at Capone's in JC and had a blast watching it. The bar itself was beautiful with a cozy atmosphere and great drinks.

Went there a few weeks ago with my fiancí© 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 Fiancí© 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.
