Capital Ale House

We were in Richmond for a Graduation from VCU. We had a total of 17 in our party and the Capital Ale House accommodated us with no problems. The food was great and our server (Jay C) was attentive, courteous, and helpful with what to order. I had the Wurst Platter (Bratwurst, Knockwurst, and Polish Sausage), it was amazing. I also took a slice of Apple pie to go. I wish I would’ve tasted it there, I would have tried to buy a whole pie. It was the best I have ever had. And unfortunately I live about an hour and a half away so I can’t get it all the time. Definitely recommend it when you go.

Like the menu says, they own late night if you're looking for food or live music past 9pm. Our server was incredibly helpful to three out-of-towners, happily offering up fantastic drink recommendations based on what we liked. The food isn't just a "well this is the only option" either, and was delicious. Very cool vibes and will certainly visit again when coming back for work.

We went for a chill evening that our friend was making us come try, so we did just that. It was a quiet nite which we liked because you get to really see the place and take in what is offered. They do have bands play, stage and all and that goes great for the entertainment nights! We made our way to the basement and chilled out with a few appetizers and some drinks. We had some cool drinks. 1 beer tasted like grape soda literally, it was kinda scary. the flavor, definitely something that can get you in trouble trouble! Sorry, my memory is the worst, I can't recall the name of the beer. Along with the appetizers was a pool table and some darts. The downstairs was cool, the outside patio is the jem!! The nachos however depend on who is making them for the night...

Visited this fine establishment to satisfy our late night munchies after hitting some breweries pretty hard first day in town. It came recommended from a friend and did not disappoint. I don't recall our bartenders name but we could tell he was well experienced. Just the perfect amount of conversation and kept our cold, fermented beverages coming. The dry rub wings were as good as I've had anywhere. Would definitely return my next trip to RVA.

They were good enough that we went twice while in town. I didn’t take photos of the second visit, but the fish tacos ranked higher than the chicken I had the night prior. The fries and dips were yummy for the app. They do use shared fryer so celiacs beware. They have a dress code, but didn’t kick us out. There’s gluten free beer here and ciders. Definitely sign up for the rewards program if you come more than once.
