About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
The Capital Bar & Grill may be the embodiment of Capital’s Southern Comfortable culinary vision focusing on provincial comfort food with a particular emphasis on the bounty of Arkansas. The tools of the bar include the most sought-after liquors, mixers and ingredients. In sort of a back-to-the-future twist, it has been a devotion to handmade classic and custom cocktails (the Aviation vs. the Cropduster) that has established Capital Bar as a nationally-regarded spirits destination. All this said, we strive to create a fun, relaxing experience for all of our guests: The friendly atmosphere is especially suited to business lunches, after-work drinks and get-togethers, as well as special date nights.

The decor of dining room was nice, the crowd was noisy and seemed to be enjoying the evening. The waitstaff were attentive and helpful. The food was OK—the burger was good; the fried chicken was tender but nothing special; the gnocchi were meh. What was billed as southern pecan pie was the biggest disappointment: a small, hard, seemingly overbaked pecan tart in a chocolate crust —not a wedge of gloriously gooey, sweet pecan pie with a crispy crust. The s’mores cake was slightly better, but could have benefited from more marshmallow topping. I would not rush back.

                                                                        Is this helpful?
