The Camel

Went to see my friend KJ and his band We Call This Courage. Amazing !!

Best draft beer list in RVA. Great service, atmosphere, acoustics. Honest Debts play there the first Friday every month. Great music, great time

It's always great food and love seeing our close friends when they are in town to play shows. It's 5 minutes walking and everyone is wonderful

The Camel is such a fun venue, it has an amazing draft list, and excellent food options, including several Vegan options! They have the bands playing very loud so make sure to bring earplugs or I think they sell them at the bar.

I have been here a couple times for a show, and one time for food. It was a great place to come and grab a drink, watch a show and enjoy the atmosphere. This last time I came was for a reunion show for the brother of a friend and it was awesome. The drinks were flowing, and there are a lot of different choices, with the prices and abv clearly shown.
I would come back here for a show again, and I love how they have local groups and other well known performers. It is a fun small atmosphere and enjoyable for the food and drinks too.

Great venue! I went for the first time to check out Billy Bacci Band and I will definitely be back.

Love this place! A great spot for happy hour or for catching live music almost any day. The staff is so friendly!!

Great venue and bar. The staff is totally great and highly recommend it. Band line up is also super.

Live bands were great! Friendly crowd and staff, good food, has a dance area and $15.00 cover charge.

I cannot say enough great things about The Camel and the beautiful souls that keep it running. In a nutshell, their food is so tasty (if you haven't had their Sausage Stars then you still have a box to check to become a true Richmonder), they showcase a variety of Live music and art on a daily basis, and their staff are some of the most polite and incredibly heartfelt people you'll ever encounter. They run this establishment proudly employee-owned, and do it well.

The Camel has been a part of my life since I first starting venturing into Richmond in my 20s and a part of my husband's life for even longer while playing residency shows there. We call them family and even got engaged on their lovely patio. We hoped to have them cater our wedding in 2020, but alas we downsized tremendously due to the circumstances. It's important to note that they were extremely forgiving and helpful during such a chaotic and saddened time for us, and even helped us still celebrate in a special way so we could include them in our big day. If you have any events coming up, I'd highly recommend them for your catering needs (Talk to Georgia she's the best!).

Whether you need to grab a quick drink on their patio and unwind, indulge in a bowl of Havarti Mac, or let loose to some good live tunes, you will always be greeted with a smile and good conversation at The Camel. It's by far our fave watering hole in the city!
