Capone's

This is Larry Myer the musician. I played a show at Capone‘s a couple weeks ago and had a blast. Did some originals, some harmonica, a few intense guitar solos and everyone sang along to some classic tunes. The house PA was good and the the stage is set up right. Playing there again on Oct 24 @ 10 PM. Don‘t beleive the naysayers. This club is on the right track for Fall 2008. The scene is what you make it.

I am a fan of this bar. Three dollar wells and dollar draws; what is better then that i ask? This is the most popular bar in Ames right now. Great crowd and good bands when school is in session. Not so good when school isn‘t.

This bar used to be great, now its just the new element. Shady people go there. They must treat their staff like crap cause all the great people who used to work there either were fired or left. the manager must not know hat hes doing because he doesnt realize its the staff that makes a bar. Bring back the white shirted guy, the tall guy that looks like jim from the office, and stop making weeker than crap drinks and maybe i‘ll come back.

Just found out they fired their best bartender. I wont be going back here, service is slow now and the bartenders are rude. I miss the tall, long-haired guy.

horrible drinks!!! Seriously do I need a jumbo glass with just one shot of booze. Give me a regular sized glass if your only put one shot in it.

Is this still open? And if so, does anybody know a phone number for them?

I really can‘t decide if I enjoy this bar or not. When its moderately crowded on the weekends, it‘s ok, although service can take a bit. Other than that it seems to be ridiculously packed and getting a drink near impossible, or completely empty and lame. Good F.A.C. specials though.

Great service, live music, good drinks. That is what makes a great bar.

great bar, awesome atmosphere and great staff, good drinks and good fun, always a favorite

I love this bar, plain and simple. I really don‘t understand why people are giving it such a bad rep. The bartenders are amazing. And it‘s always ALWAYS a good time.

This place has taken over as sorta the replacement for people‘s, since Papa‘s is really bad. Some good bands, good people, and a good time. You should go.

Maybe the cheapskate who complained about the Southern Host and Limes should pony up some money and not order only $1 house shots! I‘ve always watched them pour Southern Comfort into my shots when I order SoCo Limes. Maybe it‘s too much to expect that people realize that cheap shots are cheap for a reason.

I totally agree with the poster from April 2nd. Getting a watered-down Jack and coke and then finding out that my soco limes are really southern host and lime isn‘t my idea of a bar.

You bitches just need to quit hating. That place rocks. Get up off their jocks, dude.

I did like this place when it first opened but now I feel that this bar isnt all its cracked up to be. Sure its packed alot of the time, but the drinks are weak and the staff looks lost most of the time. I would rather go to a bar that isnt as full and get a good drink. If you like weak drinks, poor service, and live noise check this place out.

I find it amusing that people are complaining about this place but every weekend when I‘m there, it‘s the one of the only places in Campustown that‘s packed! I think I smell "Friends of other Bars" trying to bring a cool place down? I mean, really, how is this place always wall-to-wall full and have the second lowest rating on the entire sight? You want to know what it‘s like for real? Go there and enjoy the party! I love this place and glad it came to Ames!

this place was cool, but now they make really weak drinks and the service is slow

Weak drinks and crappy service are reasons i dont go there anymore, there are bars that i would rather go to on campus town

Fun Fun Fun - This place is becoming one of the better bars in campustown...

This place is awesome. I‘m so happy it opened! The bartenders are freaking amazing. I always have a good time. Great place with great drinks and great people!

This place is freaking awesome. The bartenders are great. The drinks are cheap and it‘s always an awesome time!

Good service, live music, awesome atmosphere, and it is always packed. Great place to go to hang out with live music in the background or to dance later. I have never had to wait too long for a drink, ussually it is only a minute or two, but at some points in the night when they are filling up it can take a little longer, but it is never too bad of a wait. I think the longest I have waited is 5 minutes, once or twice. It has quickly become my favorite bar.

Yeah, I go there almost every week, and I‘ve never had a problem getting served. Granted, I‘ve had to wait sometimes, but it‘s always because it‘s PACKED! Cheap drinks, good service, live music... no other bar compares!

for being open this long the service still sucks. Need a better staff to better serve the customers. I don‘t mind waiting a little for drinks but 20-30 min come on....

Looks like a good place, but there seems to always be a line at the door.
