Nice relaxed place to stop for a beer. They always have something new on one or all of their 20 taps. Plus the other half of the place is a bottle shop where you can find limit release barrel aged beers, single cans and 4pks of your favorite IPAs.The staff is all very cool and knowledgeable. I'm hoping they bring back more beer events. Prior to the COVID Shutdowns, this was the place to be for beer events.

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 can’t leave an actual review as we went and found out it was not kid friendly once there. The atmosphere was good, staff friendly. I just want to let people know, not kid friendly and no heaters outside, so not the best place if you want to be outside. I wish I had asked if they are dog friendly, but I forgot.

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.

Best spot for a beer in the Sacramento area by far. The locals as well as the staff are very welcoming. One of the better tap lists around and plenty of beer to go.A must stop if a hop head in the area.

Always have a great selection on tap, even for someone like me that's not a big beer fan. Always have at least one cider, and a few great sours!

The Good: Nice vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. Great selection of stouts the day we went -- in fact, largest collection I had seen at a Sac-area establishment. The Bad: Pours were definitely on the small side, and prices definitely on the high side. That was a surprise with so many other options to grab a great craft beer within a couple of miles.

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.
Local dive with a great beer selection and conversation. They hold fun events to bring the beer community together. Service is always great and so are the Neanderthals!

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.
