Capitol City Brewing -- Downtown

Terrible brewpub. Typical sports bar atmosphere, with almost no one in it on a Saturday night. Beer is horrendous, selection is poor, and they dont give you anything but the crap in their expensive sampler with no substitutions available.

Popular place, had to wait 15 minutes for a table on an average Thursday night. Noisy, normal brewpub-type atmosphere. Had a Kolsch, which was good, and a Belgian Gold, which was better and pretty respectable. Food was ok, normal pub fare. A pretty decent place for a meal and some good beer.

Very large, high ceilinged room. Lots of bright light. Unfortunately, loaded with TVs as well. Very friendly wait staff and the food was decent, if somewhat uninspired. The beers were better than average and the prices were fair. Can’t complain about it, but I wouldn’t seek it out either.

Not great, but not bad. Ambiance is typical of any Insert City Brewery (Heartland/Captial/etc.). Trying to be semi-sports bar, semi-happy hour place, half tourist trap. The beer wasn’t bad at all though. Amber was good, Kolsch not bad, hefe decent, etc.

Not a bad place. Stopped in for a quick bite and a few brews. Their kolsch was the best of the 3 beers I tried while there. The place itself is typical of a brewpub with a helpful staff. The food id typical brewpub fare and decent enough. Worth a stop if in the area, but not worth going out of your way for.

Stopped in to have a Fuel. Busy Saturday night, so we sat at the bar and had a quick pint. Service was distracted but friendly when they got to you. About half of their offerings were not available. Menu didn’t look that impressive.

It was a great place to go before a game when they had happy hour specials. $2.50 pints of anything. But that has stopped as far as I know. Food is good. Beer is typical brewpub stuff. Pale Rider Ale and the Prohibition Porter are my favs but with no happy hour specials just go to RFD.

Not a bad joint. Took the family here and was concerned that it would turn out to be a bomb with decent beer. Well, other than the smoke (I’m from smoke free DE) and the LOUD crowd (Thur night), this place was pretty good. The service was great (the waiter very friendly and provided a nice meal tip: the beer marinated steak), the food was excellent, and the value was solid. The beer selection (only 5 on tap that night) was mediocre, but the quality good (not outstanding). I’d head back any day (wife and kids were cool with it in the end).

To noisy, not enough staff, and every beer I wanted to try was not available.

Rather noisy, overwhelmed staff, the beer was forgettable.
