Workers here will not properly handle if you get assaulted at a show !! First off one the bouncers immediately started getting on my friends about using the bathroom together…. He threaten to kick us out ?! he can do this but is too “busy” when one of us tries to report an verbal/physical assault that happened the same night, IN AND OUT of the establishment!!!maybe if the worker took the time to ID this guy , we wouldn’t feel they need to go in groups to the bathroom.very disappointed by this and will not be coming back and supporting this establishment.

Just warning other young women to be really careful here! Bouncers/staff won’t support you if you are assaulted, instead they will provide little to no help at all :( truly sad to see such a good venue be such a let down.

Bouncers have a horrible, disgusting attitude. I was and still am astonished. Not only did he talk to me like that, but every single one of my friends. We were just trying to have a fun night out and were being totally respectful. I get that its a busy place but that is not how you talk to paying customers who are literally doing nothing. The Camel is not worth your money, stay away from here!! Not only was the bouncer rude and way out of line, my friend was assaulted and they didn't seem to even bat an eye. So extremely disappointed. I found other review’s online saying the same. I wonder what kind of people run this establishment. There are plenty of other establishments that are worth your money.

I have had a great time seeing concerts here. It sounds good and the drinks are shockingly cheap compared to dc prices. It does get uncomfortably crowded which moving around the venue nearly impossible at times.

I enjoy this venue however they have a mouse or rat problem big time. We were at a show a few weekends ago and I watched one giant rodent run past my feet into their kitchen.... very alarming. I brought it up to staff they didn't seem too worried. I hope they are aware but I wouldn't eat anything from here...I do enjoy the shows and venue is really nice how it is split off and they have the outside area and you can go in and out as you please !

Went for a small concert. Didn't get any food Doesn't have a lot of parking, but it's still a great spot. All parking is on the street.

This is a bar that supports live local music. The beer is cold. The burger I had was fantastic. Hearing local musicians, even better.

The Camel is one of my favorite spots in Richmond for a drink and a good time. They have a great half off all beer happy hour, which is perfect for trying out their wide variety of brews. I love hanging out on their patio, which is cozy and relaxing. I also have been to a concert here and it was fun, but a bit crowded. The music was loud and lively, and the crowd was energetic and friendly. I haven’t had any food here, but I hear it’s great. They have a menu that features burgers, sandwiches, salads and more. The Camel is a great place to go for a casual night out with friends or a date. It’s got a cool vibe and a friendly staff. I definitely recommend it! ???
