Captain's Getaway

Went to Captain‘s for the first time last weekend! Wow! That would sum up the amount of fun that they provide there! The band was outstanding, the atmosphere was great, the bartenders were cruisin, overall Fun experience. We returned the next night and had a great time then as well! Can‘t imagine what this place is like in the summertime...but i will be back to find out!

BEST BAR AT THE LAKES!! great service, great music, great place to meet your friends and meet new ones.

drinks are way expensive, go to the garden that place rules them all

Love love love this place! it‘s a great place if you‘re looking for a good time! everyone knows everyone and the staff treats you like a long lost buddy! i consider this place the best so far...i look forward to visiting during the summer!

Captain‘s Getaway is the place to be! If you ain‘t partying at Captain‘s, you just aint partying at all. Everything there is exciting! The bartenders are the nicest, friendliest bartenders at the lakes. They sure earn there keep by keeping up with the intense crowd! ill be back for sure!

I love captains it they dont have the normal snobby stuck up bartenders that most bars have in the lakes and everytime i walk in there when the bartender see‘s me he has a beer open and ready for me. You guys kick ass at what u do keep it the same

Captains Getaway was the best bar in Okoboji hands down...The staff was great, have to say they were so busy I waited the normal wait but they did a great job considering the crowd. The bands are great and the cover charge is worth every penny. If your look for a good time...go to CAPTAINS!!

If I‘m paying $10 or more to walk in the door, I expect more than what Captain‘s Getaway has to offer. Once in a while, they have a decent band. And i agree... invest in some AIR CONDITIONING!!!! And get rid of the sit-down table and chairs, on the busy weekends.... very cluttered.

Used to be a great place, but staff could care less if you‘re there. Also, bands are iffy. The night I was there a guy named Scott Larsen was playing and it was worse than a karoke show with Roseanne Barr.

it‘s a busy bar, so a wait is to be expected. the waitstaff is friendly and energetic, Great live music and well made drinks. I felt very comfortable and enjoyed my time here!! friend or not, i‘ve gotten the best service at Captain‘s! this is the place to be! my only complaint is that it‘s so hot! get a/c!!

Love Captains! Those waitresses and bartenders work their butts off! Food is awesome too!
If you want to complain about the cover and the crowd, don‘t come in!
Bands always rock too!
It‘s the spot!

the bar is God awful hot in the summer. The staff think they are so much above everyone else. Almost impossible to get a drink when you‘re not a friend. Guy‘s, please respect the people that pay ridiculous prices to get into your bar and spend half a paycheck on drinks! Way overrated!!!!

The place to be in the lakes area! staff was very friendly and fast even when it was packed! Overall the best nights in the area are at Captains!

Captain‘s is alright. Staff is normally rude, and always hard to get in past nine due to lack of space. Cover charge is expensive. Great bands though.

Waitstaff often rude and like to serve their friends before you.

Great live music. Whoever books the bands there is a genius!

This bar used to be the standard in Okoboji, now it‘s a has been. The staff and mgmt believe they are "elite", when really they just work in bar that‘s only busy for 3 months. Plus, they charge ridiculous cover charges in the summer. Save your money and go somewhere better.

I felt out of place here!! The people all seem to think that they are better than everyone else...

Best Bar in town, great music, great people and a definate good time.

It‘s a great place to be. If there‘s anyone out, they‘re at Captain‘s. It does get a little warm in the bar, but who‘s to complain when you are one of 300 people dancing all over the place.

Great place!!! Awesome live music!!! Best bar in Okoboji, there‘s always people on the dance floor. Only problem: it was 100 degrees outside and felt like 120 inside, they didn‘t have any doors open or fans going.

Love love love Captain‘s....oh just love it:)

Saw Transit Authority at Captains Getaway this past weekend and man, it was a blast ! One of the best bands playin at one of the best places in town to hang !

Just moved to the lakes about 1 month ago, had my first Captain‘s experience this weekend and it was great. Great service, beer was a little overpriced, but that is to be expected this time of year. LOTS and LOTS of people to talk to and hang out with. I would tell anybody to give them a try.

best staff in town....captain‘s is my favorite place to go, especially in the summer

I was just at Captain‘s last weekend, and we had a great time. Out of all of the bars we went to, Captain‘s had the best atmosphere and entertainment. Service is by far the best in Okoboji.

This place has a great blend of feeling at home with the locals while still providing an exciting nightlife. Some of the best bands are playing here year round. The food, drinks, and service are some of the best in the Lakes Area!

No local treatment here. Everything is the almighty tourist $$$

Great place in the summer. Lots of good bands and a great atmosphere.

Extremely overpriced, and quality of staff and music has steadily declined over the past 5 years

The people at the door are a bunch of thugs, treating good people like crap. Also a bit overpriced
