Capital Tap room is a gem nestled in a nondescript strip mall near downtown Sac. Inside you’ll find a good selection of craft beers for sale as well as 20 drafts for on-site consumption. I was lucky enough to be able to grab Pliny the Elder when I visited, however, your mileage may vary. For cider lovers, this may not be your cup of tea although they did have one cider on draft as well as a few varieties in their bottle shop. One thing important to note, they do not have food available aside from some beer snacks for purchase. The good news is that they’re totally open to one bringing their own food in. Cheers and have fun, this is a great place!

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.

Stopped in for a beer. The bar tender was pleasant and the beer was fantastic.

You can bring food in, but they are an old school beer bar.

This is a great place to hang out and relax with friends. They have a lot of choices and it looks like you can bring in your own food.

Oh my , nothing but having a cold beer! Make a choice. Food all around but just beer here. Enjoy!!

Was looking for a bar and bottle shop and found it! Have taps/bar on one side and coolers of cans on the other—can grab a can/pint and hang out with friends! They also had 4 different gluten free beers (GF) on hand to try from Ghostfish, Ground Breaker and Buck Wild. Also had some good merch on sale. Hung out for a few hours and had a blast!

Their beer selection is among the best in town and the people are awesome.
