This dark little bar seemed to have everything you need. We went with the truffle fries and pickle chips, a dirty pickle martini and an IPA. The fries were ok, good and greasy with some slightly melted shaved parmesan. The pickle chips were the classic Vlasic dills with breading which was the same juice for the martini. They were good. Wait staff was very attentive and we enjoyed the bar area. Wish we had time for a game of pool! read more

Rude and disorganized! Didn't even bother ordering food. Walked in and was ignored so me and my friend decided to seat ourselves at a corner table without menus (and no one else around). Waited 5 minutes and were greeted by a guy that yelled at us saying we can't sit there, and then he just left. Didn't say hi, didn't ask if we wanted anything to drink. We just left immediately as it left a bad taste in our mouths. I'll take my business elsewhere where I'm not greeted with being yelled at for sitting at a table without a menu, despite not having any one else around. read more

Paid way too much ($80) for what we got (wings, burger, chicken sandwich, 2 beers, and a mule). Came here from a recommendation of the Hilton concierge... we should have known better, clearly they wanted to stimulate the local neighborhood. We should have done our research and found a better quality place for the price. First table was dive bar sticky, so we moved to the back patio only to get dripped on with cold rain for the whole meal from the tin roof in the back. It's a cool looking space, but clearly not weather proof. We got way better service from the guy at the bar than our waitress... wish that hospitality would have continued! Our first beer wasn't filled up all the way and was a flat local ale. The mule was okay, I've definitely had better, disappointing if that's what this place is known for. The food was pretty good quality, well seasoned and cooked, even though it all took a while. Truffle burger was good on flavor but small patty. Chicken wings were solid; chicken patty for the sandwich could have been double the size. The quality of food/drinks/service definitely did not match up with price we paid and we left feeling cold, wet, and a bit ripped off. read more

Show up 30-45 minutes before Vikings game. Bar opens at 10 if a game is at 11 on Sunday. Street parking across bar is free on Sundays. Obviously it's a Vikings bar. During the game don't expect much service and order while you can. Their dips come in a very small cup so I suggest ordering double because you won't get an opportunity to get another. They have drink specials. If you are a Vikings fan in Denver you need to be here! read more

Cap City Tavern - Pickle Chips - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Stopped in here for the first time recently, and was floored by how great it was. We came in for lunch, and got a pretty decent selection of food - started with the chips and queso (pictured). The chips were lightly seasoned and perfectly crisp, and the queso was served with diced jalapenos on top. Yum! For lunch, I got the mac and cheese with mushrooms and truffle oil (pictured), another at the table got the veggie melt (pictured) and our third got the gyro. Everyone loved their meals - I may be trying that veggie melt next time around - it looked amazing. However, I can't say enough good things about the mac and cheese. I was really surprised at just how good it was, considering I was expecting just standard "bar food." Excellent. YUM. The woman taking care of our table was super friendly, and even handled a strange request with humor and grace - it actually seemed like they want customers to come back! I most definitely will be. read more

Listen to me carefully, they have the *BEST* wings in Denver. I grew up in Buffalo, NY, so I would know what a good wing is. Cap City makes the best we have. It's not the sauce that makes the wing, it's how it's cooked. I've brought most of my friends here and they've all been shocked. Great to finally have one place to go for wings that reminds me of how they're supposed to be done. Other than that, just a nice corner bar kind of place. Staff are friendly. read more

I was pleased with a random visit to this place. First off they have about 10 parking spots in the back so that is always a plus downtown! We came for wing night but was surprised at what a deal we got. 2 pounds of wings and a free pitcher for $28.00 so for 2 people, you can not beat that (and that price was with 2 beers purchased preciously so an even cheaper dinner night!) Nick the server was amazing, even stayed to chit chat with us and the Covid protocols were in point. I felt super safe there. I will be back and may make this my bitmap Thursday hangout due to the cheap wing deals! read more

Tasty brunch after visiting the art musuem. Great service, lots of good menu choices.

We have found ourselves coming to Cap City more often these days, due to its proximity to our house. The other night we stopped in and tried their special for the evening, roasted chicken. It was amazing! It is served with the most amazing brussel sprouts. If you've never been in before, come on Tuesday for trivia and the roasted chicken. You'll be glad you did! read more

Great food and service. Daily specials. Within walking distance of my hotel. Pleasantly surprised friendly staff.

We were denied indoor seating with a medical alert service dog, which is a violation of the ADA. Restaurants are considered public accommodations and must follow Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), which provides that service animals must be allowed to accompany people with disabilities in places open to the public. He was wearing a vest and we were prepared to provide documentation that the dog was trained service animal but were denied anyway. This restaurant discriminates against people with disabilities. read more

Situated a few blocks south of the City and County building is the unpretentious Cap City Tavern. It's a popular hang out for city employees and other professionals in the area, mostly because the food is dependable and good, the beer is cold and the staff are professional and get you in and out fast, but without feeling rushed. We stopped in for a celebration around lunch time. Just bringing in a larger party to a downtown establishment around lunchtime is typically a recipe for disaster, but Cap City? They got your back. The staff and the kitchen keep things humming at a constant pace. We had stellar service from the minute we all starting rolling in at different times. Our server didn't bat an eye. We each received drinks shortly after we sat down and our drinks were kept filled during our meal. I ordered the soup of the day and a small wedge salad. More than enough food to fill me up. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we topped it off with a salted caramel brandino, which is something like a soft pudding or custard. It was to die for. All in all a great mid-day meal with attentive service at a good price. If you haven't tried it, I recommend you check it out next time you're in the area of the library or art museum. read more

Wish I could give this establishment "0" stars. Waited an hour & 15 minutes for service. Oh, the waitress came by our table after waiting 40 mins and dropped off water, "promising to stop by for our drink order".... Short story - that never happened. After sitting for an hour and 15 minutes we had no choice but to get up and leave. I can only assume the food and drinks are as awful as the service. read more

This place reminds me of my favorite place to eat in my home town of Kansas City! If you visit or move to Denver from KC, this is your new "Peanut", I promise! :) Not only can you come and get a drink while you watch whatever sport is in season (SKOL VIKS! :)), you can also have the BEST version of whatever typical bar and grill order is your favorite. They also have plenty of awesomely unexpected flavors and choices. It's truly classy but cozy bar and grill. Though it wasn't a full meal, they were also hugely accommodating for a post-COVID-19 takeout Cinco de Mayo park happy hour with my friends! We got delicious chips with an AWESOME salsa/queso collection that was included along with our top-notch to-go margs! Thank you Piper, Dino and staff for being so on top of everything! read more

Went with a group and man oh man this place was delicious!! I had the Truffle Mac & cheese, (to die for) Bacon potato torte ( such amazing flavor), the brussel sprouts (I would go just for them alone), and for dessert Salted caramel budino (I will be dreaming about it). What a great place! And even had parking so bonus!! I will definitely be back and bringing friends!! read more

Ok: the best Brussels sprouts I've had, aside from what I make at home. Very good burger, and perfect job from the kitchen on "pale pink" . Kudos to the chef . This sports bar is across the street from the Denver Art Museum, too. My server, Derin, was helpful, open minded and friendly, even though it was pretty busy during the lunch hour. Clearly lots of DAM Monet visitors were there eating. I had a double IPA at recommendation of Derin. Made it hard to eat the entire meds I had, which was huge. I will visit again in my next visit to Denver! read more

What a little gem this place is. 24 oz of PBR love in a can. That's right people, channel your inner Joe Dirt and feel the love. Once we were properly liquefied by our fantastic waitress we ordered the wings. Deep fried to wing perfection. Not too spicy hot which was fine and they were still steaming when they arrived. Delish. My friend and I each ordered a burger. We asked the server if she could have the kitchen cut them in half as we were going to share. No problemo. My friends girlfriend was not denied when she asked if she could order a grilled cheese from the kids section. Nice. When our burgers came out the server was thoughtful enough to put the different halves of the burgers on our plates. I can't say there was a flavor explosion in my mouth but they were tasty. The ball-n-chain loved his Russian Turkey sandwich. There were Pints regulars and servers in here - in fact we were labeled traders by my favorite Pints server when she wandered in. We were busted. read more

I need to update because this place is GOOD! This is a bar that you could easily make your list of places that "know you by your real name". They have die hards who some would call Bar Flys, but i would call people you can chat with about anything! I talked about insurance companies, baseball, relationships... : ) not a bored moment! The people here are super friendly and make u feel at home! I love Cara! She is the best. They changed their menu and it looks swanky! They have something for everyone now! Not just a standard bar menu nemore! I love this place.... and since I moved to Mayfair I can't stumble home : ( 2 dolla Miller lites on Tuesday... that's a goooood deal! I love Cap City! I love Beer! I love Trivia!!! The End read more

Cap City Tavern is a favorite of my friends and I for college football Saturdays. It's a Huskers bar (and owing to the fact that several of the group are Nebraska alum and die hard fans, we frequent Cap City on game days). The food and service are both good. A few specialties include the runza, a Nebraska dish that I haven't tried but everyone raves about, and the banana's foster bites which are VERY addictive. I've always felt that the atmosphere is very pleasant and I love the artwork on display around the bar. I'm sure we'll continue to frequent Cap City even beyond college football season. read more

Great burgers! Service was pretty good and the beers certainly cold!

Long overdue, flipping through my smartphone notes and ran across one for this place. Jacky at Cap City is 12 kinds of awesome as a server. And the fries are apparently fantastic when you're drunk off your ass...I think I remember that. Green chile was super delish too...and of course, the moderately obscure 80s music...gotta love that. Nice patio in the back for conversation, or fending off obsessive boyfriends of new people you've met and are having a conversation with. Good place. read more

Garlic knots are fantastic! They are hot, fresh and taste homemade. The dipping sauce is kind of like a chunky tomato sauce - which it were more of a paste, but that's personal preference. The BLT was huge and the bread was nicely toasted. Fries were good. The simple arugula salad with shaved parm was nice. Overall, I enjoyed my first visit here. Went a second time to try the tacos on special. Had the Al Pastor. Honestly, I've had better. The meat was too thickly cut and chewy. But I did enjoy the pineapple in it. I recommend they slice the pork a little more thinly... But for the price it's not a bad snack. I'll definitely visit once in a while to have a beer, watch football and eat way too many garlic knots. read more

This is my favorite lunch spot. Good service and really good food. Comfortable bar atmosphere. The green chili is a highlight.

Still a stellar place that treats me wonderfully. There are so many wonderful people here, like Heather (full disclosure: she's on my friends list in Facebook). Not only is service fantastic, but my drinks get the job done right and I love the food. Check out the Monday night tacos, the Diablo Turkey Sandwich, or the Bacon Potato Torte! read more

We stopped in while out visiting the museums in the area. We had a pizza, truffle fries and a Bacon and Shrimp sandwich. The food was AMAZING. We gobbled everything up and loved it. The atmosphere seems fun but we had to work really hard to ignore the attitude we got and focus on our awesome company in order to enjoy our time here. Our waitress ( Evelyn ) was extremely rude. She seemed to want us out of the restaurant as soon as possible. She talked over us and didn't listen to anything we asked for. She came around to check on our table ( a fly by) and when I asked for a beer that I previously said I didn't want, she scolded me! She reached over the table and practically hit me in the face. This place is totally not worth a stop. Lesson learned. The 10% you get off your check with your YELP check in isn't even close to worth it read more

Went in tonight and sat for 10-15 minutes and never was even serviced water, let alone no one ever came to our table. You really set the tone with service like that! I will not be back! read more

Kelsey is the most amazing waitress/bar tender ever. Restaurant and drinks are great.

I'm holding back 1 start because I have to go back here and see if this place is as good as I think it is. (Let's be honest, I know it is). Friday night, 630PM and my friend and I were looking for somewhere to eat. He literally lives a couple of blocks away and thanks to yelp we figured this was the best choice. I called ahead to see how busy it was and the gentleman who answered said they were buy but they could put a reserve sign on the table for us. 5 mins later were there and see a table with a sign and sit down. It was loud, just like a typical sports type bar. After a few mins looking over the menu we decided on queso (which the server raved about) and I got the fish tacos. YUM YUM YUM! Queso was homemade and hot! The fish tacos weren't breaded or deep friend but fresh fish grilled. WAY more than I expected for a place like this with the awesome food. To top it off our server was really friendly and made mucho converation which is always nice. read more

We went to Monet exhibit and were looking for a place close by to catch a bite. Located not far from Denver Art Center it was an easy walk. I ordered a burger and fries. Was served sweet potato fries instead. And charged for them too. But they were very delicious. Overall this place had the typical restaurant/bar vibe. Great layout with exposed brick walls. I would recommend Cap City Grill for a lunch or dinner. read more

The BEST neighborhood tavern downtown. If you like fried pickles, they have the best in Denver hands down. Sometimes we come here just for them! Thin, crispy, perfectly breaded, YUM.

Let me first start off by saying that the broccoli cheddar soup I had was pretty delicious, they had drink specials for Pride, and the food runners were very nice. The side of "truffle" mac and cheese was pretty big but just not good, very bland and just way to cheesy, like over the top. The thing that threw me off was my server. The waitress I had must have been having a horrible day or maybe she is just unpleasant all the time, I am not a regular so I don't know. She was really surly. It took forever to get her attention and she was very curt with the orders. She was even rude to the other tables. I think we were all burnt out from the weekend but that is no excuse to be rude. I have been coming to this place for over a decade, literally, a picture of me, from ten years ago, sitting on their patio for when I went to Geeks Who Drink just came up on my "On This Day" section of Facebook today. They have always been a little over priced for their food but I had enjoyed going there. Maybe will be back but maybe not. I don't like being treated like a child who is in trouble when I am trying to relax, have a snack, and a libation. read more

Super great service. Our appetizer came out a little cold and they fixed it right away and comped it for us. Definitely will visit again.
