From the canned beer selection that is available to either take home or to stay on site and enjoy with friends, to the tap room with a selection that covers a wide range of tastes. Their beer curator has this process down when it comes to all the choices. When I come visit Capitol Beer, they know what beers will appeal to me the most, and will offer accurate descriptions. The crowd is part of the draw here. From working professionals to blue collar workers, all come together for a great selection of craft beer and conversation. If you have work to do there are quiet areas that include an outdoor, covered patio.

Super chill w/ lots of options. I have always liked variety and CapTap has it for sure. With 15'ish taps and the cans in the cooler you will find something you like and probably don't see very often. The service and patrons are friendly. There are sports and random movies rolling on the TVs. The patio is great too. The atmosphere is pub style. It can get loud when busy but you can always find a spot for a quieter convo. It is a regular beer stop for me.

There's outside sitting. Good size for a small group. Catch a game or just talk about life while eating some poke. The place is in need of some ventilation, it's like walking in to a comic store. Smelling a bit funky and stuffy. Come for the beer and leave paying for someone's else's beer. I have no problem buying a round but I would like to be made aware. I get it I get, there's was only one person working and they got busy. As Mr. Pink once said "too busy shouldn't be in a servers vocabulary". Ordered 5 beers and paid for 7. I didn't make any fuss about it because I didn't notice it until I started to do the math. But hey it is what it is. Double check and as for a detailed receipt.

Great selection on tap and in the fridge! Had a great time with help from the guy behind the bar. Most of the group i was with doesn't drink beer, but he was able to find a beer each of us liked. Will be back with a few more beer buddies

I've been here a few times. Both having a seat at the bar and getting some cans to go. The times I've been here, the place wasn't overly crowded, but if there is a small crowd, the bar tenders are usually on the bar side of the place and rarely managing the "store" side. The store side of the joint has fridges full of different types of beers from all over. You can find a great selection of brews here. Parking could be difficult because there are establishments people would like to frequent in the same plaza. Some really great dinning restaurants here actually. But if you can stop over after your lunch or dinner, this is a chill spot.

I am giving them Four Stars for their outstanding beer selection. But if you want any kind of Customer Service, forget it. If that was the criteria, I would give them a one star. I'm sure that is what has kept them alive all these years is the beer list. What is funny about it, is that a lot of the breweries that they represent, or pour for, have great customer service. But yet they really have a hard time doing anything extra for the customer. The owner was at the counter, and when I approached the counter, he pointed to the employee and said he'll take care of you. It's just really disappointing that they don't value their customers any more than they do.They had a taphouse in Midtown, and that no longer exist. The personal touch is so important. I would really love to like this place, but I just can't.

Easiest place to get Pliny the Younger! No wait, no crowd, no limit, and everyone was friendly! Service was amazing. I'll definitely stalk this place's social media every February and will get my Pliny the Younger fix here. No one under 21 is allowed in the bar area.

Hi Ken! I'm so happy to be getting around to writing this review. Cap tap is a cool place to go where everyone is very laid back and "everyone knows your name" kind of place. Nick and Eric are super nice and very knowledgeable about beer. Both enjoy their trade and it shows in their service and enjoyment of their job. Very professional indeed. Both always have suggestions for me based on my taste and I appreciate that so much! That really stands out to me as going above and beyond. Ken, the Owner is a very congenial person and I always enjoy when he is around. He is a super good time and great sport. Lots of patience, stands off to the side and is very unassuming. The ambiance is friendly and a neat throwback to the 80's 90's with old VHS movies always playing. It's mostly belly up to bar kind of men, but to be expected at a tap house. They have a huge selection of beer. I do wish they had more lagers on tap. They have pilsners to offset it and a huge can selection in their fridge, but I still wish he had at least one more lager on tap. That's the only real minus I could point out. Good local hangout and very safe place.

My fiancé and I LOVE coming to CapTap! We've become regulars over the last 2.5 years and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Staff is *fantastic*, beer selection great too, and the overall vibe of the place is just relaxing and fun. We've even recommended a few different ciders/sours to them to carry and it's a nice surprise once we see them in stock. Definitely the place to go if you're looking to try craft beers/ciders/sours (on tap or in bottle/can). They have a rotating menu so things come and go frequently, but from what I've noticed most options in bottles/cans are staples and don't really leave, and tap rotates pretty regularly.Quirky bonus: they play old VHS movies on a tv by the bar, who else does that?!Stay awesome guys! Cheers!

The parking is horrendous to get here! It took 40 minutes to find a parking spot. I met a group of coworkers here who all had the same issue. The beer is expensive, we paid $8/pint for a light beer and they had a $1 corkage fee for their cans... There are similar businesses in Lincoln and Granite Bay without the steep fees and cheaper beer, better atmosphere and parking, etc.
