Capital Cabaret — Restaurant in Raleigh

It was my birthday and my group of friends wanted to give Capital Cabaret a try. In comparison to Pure Gold and The Men’s Club, I highly rate Capital Cabaret as the best in town!

Great service from the moment we walked in as the Valet staff opened the doors for us. The receptionist was cheerful and greeted us all with a welcoming smile.

There is a selfie station near the entrance with Capital Cabaret logo backdrop. Me and my friends took so many pictures with the help of staff member name Sam. She was very patient and attentive to us girls wanting that perfect picture and made sure we had the snap shots we all loved. I love Sam for being so honest if our pictures did not look right, and she would take more pictures for us without hesitation.

Capital Cabaret’s establishment is super clean, sophisticated, and classy. The atmosphere and ambience was great and not to mention the music selection was on point! My favorite part was the pyrotechnics that lighted up as the dancers were performing their specular moves.

One of the managers overheard that we were there celebrating my birthday and he sent a complimentary bottle of Champagne! Thank you to the manager, staff and waitress for making my birthday very memorable and making me feel like a rockstar!

The steak was cooked to the right temperature and the lobster tail was juicy. I chose fries as my side which also included steak sauce and butter for the lobster tail. •We happened to be at Capital Cabaret during their 9th year anniversary celebration and the complimentary food was served Buffett style. The food was over the top that consisted of green beans, Mac and Cheese, Shrimp, Prime Rib, butter rolls, and roasted pig.

The team work amongst the staff is outstanding as you can clearly see how the management team are professional and respectful by taking care of the dancers.

All in all, my experience at Capital Cabaret was excellent and so much more memorable than I had expected. I've had the best outstanding experience and received 100% quality service from the staff. I would highly recommend Capital Cabaret for the endless...

I've been to a good amount of clubs all over the south and Atlanta has the best ones and Tampa has the most, but I've never been to a club that was soooo architecturally awesome as capital cabaret. Two stories, massive area, you will never feel cramped here that's for sure. There's all kinds of TVs all over as well as private rooms. There's plenty of woman here to choose from and all of them were very beautiful.

However I found this place unfortunately to be somewhat boring and a big let down which is such a shame because man the things I could do to improve this place and make it one of the best clubs in the United states, just made my mouth water.

Anyway despite the awesome, large, unique, very clean and roomy layout, the downsides were as follows

1. the stage is horribly laid out, the main part is waaay to high and does not extend out to you, most clubs stages are level to the customers upper torso so that when a dancers is crawling around your eye level with them, the bigger issue is it doesn't extend out to where you sit instead there's a lower walking area that goes around the stage kind of reminds me of a castles moat. So theres a main dancer on the stage and a second dancer in this moat walkway area.There's a bar top that wraps around the outer portion of this moat walkway that dancers use to sit on but it's so narrow that all they can pretty much do is lean on it or sit on it. There's no way for them to crawl around on it for you. A stage should always extend out to where the customer is the customers should be able to actually touch the stage and get to see and experience the girl crawling around and doing her stuff.

2. the dancing of the girls I found to be pretty bland and mild there were no special or unique moves from the girls, just your average twirl and crawl pretty much. Which if your a non full nude club you really need to make your dancers bring it to make up for that. Some clubs will hire a professional exotic dancer to come down for a week and coach girls on how to dance and what not. Usually they do this a few times a year, or they will hire a local dance coach or what not to help out, Idk if this place does that or not but they should look into it.

3. not all but a majority of the girls did not work the room. I saw very few girls try and interact with customers, instead most would kind of sit in the back with each other in a small group. There were also several girls who after dancing on stage never even came out to the floor at all.

4. I was told that private dances were $30 each which is very high, the highest I've ever seen so far especially for a non full nude.

So in summary this place is so unique and has everything going for it to be a strip club landmark, but isn't currently living up to...

I stopped in on a Thursday on my way through NC. I had a long day on the road and Capital Cabaret seemed like a good place to unwind before stopping for the night.

The building was kept up well and everything inside and out was clean and well cared for. I wasn't there to look at the building anyway, but may have been less interested in going on in had it been dirty and run down.

After getting a beer and sitting down for a while, it appeared that there were some regular patrons there that had the majority of the girls attention. I figured that was completely understandable. Assuming the girls know where the money is and need to go after the sure thing rather than some potential random dude passing through. That could very well be a mis-read on my part as well. So for a bit I did feel a little bit ignored but was not overly bothered by it as I was enjoying a few beers and the ongoing stage show. A few trips to the stage to tip the girls was all it took to be more than just a spectator.

The girls were all hot (especially Crystal) across the board with a great range of body types and styles. One girl in particular, Shanna, was very capable on the pole and clearly put in the time and effort it takes to be able to pull off some strength moves as well as elegant pole moves. Some were obviously much more skilled and better than others but none of them were even close to what I would consider bad. That made the three song stage sets all very entertaining.

The first girl I encountered was Wednesday (I think). She hopped in the seat next to me and gave me the run down on lap dances for $30, and back room private dances for $300 for a half hr. Then Molly came to my table and hung out chatting for a bit. She was super nice and hot as hell. Next up was Shanna. She was straight fire on and off stage. After her set, we talked for a bit and then went to a 1/2 hr. private dance upstairs. I've been to quite a few SC's across the country and that was one of the top private sessions ever. My only regret was not staying there for another 1/2 hr. Wednesday made the price of admission more than worth it. Two memorable dancers were definitely Crystal and a tall Native Am. dancer that I cannot recall her name. Both of them killed it on the stage like true badass bosses. Would have liked to spent time with them in a room as well but time and money didn't align for that on that...
