Awesome spot, enjoyed the outdoor theme! They have events like trivia and karaoke scheduled pretty much everyday. Had a great experience, will definitely be returning! Great selection of draft beer! Food was perfect!
Loved the theme of this place. Could decorate the outside a bit and make it a little more appealing, but it’s a cool outdoorsy vibe inside. The bartender was super cool and friendly. We got a burger and wrap and it was alright, nothing to rave about. I did have a hair on my plate when it was served to me, so that’s never my favorite thing… I would however, go back to try their s’mores and do some karaoke or trivia
Exactly the vibe I was looking for. Owner was super kind. They have karaoke, and games to play. I enjoyed some s'mores, and a drink. The s'mores was a fun little activity for the table. I Will come back!
Our good friend Dean is one of the owners and did a fabulous job coordinating my husband’s birthday! The staff the evening of were exceptional and helped make it all flow accordingly. They helped with the set up and making sure that all went according to plan! Special shout out to those who cleaned up after I accidentally broke a few glasses! We love this place and will of course be back!!!
I love this place! I came in to meet a friend and the bartender Jeffrey came right over to take my drink order. My margarita was delicious and felt very high end. I ordered a wrap as a salad and it came quickly and was delicious. I couldn’t be happier with my night at the Camp Bar.
I would have really loved to give this place a glowing review, but unfortunately I can't after my experience. It was my very first time checking this place out and I loved the interior. Very warm and cozy. The 2 drinks I had were amazing, but one staff member ruined my entire time and I ended up leaving earlier than intended. I got up to look for the restroom not knowing where it was and walked towards the corner of the bar where I I thought it was but saw a kitchen, I then turned around and saw the restroom. As I walked into the restroom I was followed by a staff member acussing me of going behind the bar when I did not. I tried explaining that I was just looking for the restroom and she continued to argue with me and was extremely rude and unprofessional. I shut the door in her face because she would not stop arguing with me. After I used the restroom, I complained to the bartender and apparently the staff member wanted to kick me out. As im complaining, this rude staff came over and STILL wanted to argue. Did not apologize at all. I then just decided to leave along with my friends because I'm not giving my hard earned money to an establishment that treats their customers this way. I will never be back. It's really unfortunate because the bar tender was sweet and amazing and so were the other staff. Just one bad apple of the group.
Had a fun visit to The Camp Bar — a cozy, laid-back place with a cool camping-themed vibe that feels like hanging out with friends around a fire. The drinks were solid and the bartenders were friendly, which made the whole night enjoyable. The menu has good options if you’re hungry, and I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere that works great for casual hangouts or a Saturday night out. It’s not super fancy, but that’s part of its charm — a real neighborhood bar with personality and good service.
