Great Music venue! I used to go here a lot and catch a show, grab a drink, or bite to eat. They have live music performances practically every day(usually at night). Music styles range from DJ's, to Folk Bands, to Poetry Nights, Jazz, to Classical Rock, Country, and everything in between. Most shows are free, but there are some that require an entrance fee($5-$20 depending on the night) . They usually post this information on their Facebook or online Website. "The Camel" is always a good time. Very relaxing and buzzing until your jam comes on and you just want to dance. I highly recommend visiting, at least once.
The Camel is a top-notch small venue for live music. Locally owned and operated, the owners have created a most welcoming bar/restaurant atmosphere showcasing a diverse array of bands. Over the years the owners have been supportive of the RCBS - River City Blues Society, have showcased numerous established bands, and have also provided local budding young musicians with the opportunity to perform on stage in front of a live audience.Over the years I have noted the Camel’s support of visual artists as well as musical artists. The artwork featured on the walls has been as varied as the genres of the bands performing on the stage.Additionally, the Camel’s food is delicious. The menu offers many options and the havarti & mushroom burger is the best burger I have ever eaten, hands down. Beer from local craft breweries is available on tap. Waitstaff is attentive and takes the time to get to know the repeat customers.My husband and I have seen countless quality shows and have eaten many a delicious meal at the Camel. To the Camel owners and staff: we appreciate all that you do to make this a most enjoyable venue.
The Camel is one of the last remaining bastions of true live music in Virginia. It's funky, intimate, and very accessible to music lovers. They also have an excellent kitchen and a wide selection of beer, wine, and booze..
Love this place! A great spot for happy hour or for catching live music almost any day. The staff is so friendly!!
Nice little venue for shows. Great staff and comfortable environment. No one should feel out of place there.
Great laid back cozy local bar. Fantastic happy hour prices. Employee owned and their friendly and provide great service. Go here!
Excellent. There was four of us and everybody enjoyed their meal and the atmosphere. Our waiter was very good. We got our food quickly and he stayed on top of anything we needed. Walking distance from the Firehouse Theater, we enjoyed a nice show after dinner. Definitely coming back.
Everything was good except for the seating. You're either sitting on a wooden bench or a steel chair. Very uncomfortable. Ended up with a backache
Bartender/server was awesome. Super accommodating, food was great, constant flow of refills.
The Camel was awesome, drinks and food were all super reasonable and the staff was lovely. The bands they book are top notch.
