Halloween weekend is here, and if you see something a little spooky at Old Capitol Grill, well… you’ve been warned.

Our building has been part of Golden since 1863, serving as the Colorado Territorial Capitol before becoming a mercantile, saloon, hotel, and eventually the restaurant you know today. With more than 160 years of history behind these walls, even we admit there are a few stories we can’t quite explain.

So if you’re joining us for a drink, dinner, or a Halloween weekend gathering, keep your eyes open. You never know who else might be joining you!

A cold b**r and a smokehouse plate are a pretty good pairing.

At Old Capitol Grill, our b**r list brings together local Colorado favorites, familiar classics, and rotating drafts, so there’s always something worth trying. You’ll find Coors Banquet and Coors Light alongside craft Colorado brews and a rotating seasonal b**r, so there’s always a reason to check what’s pouring.

Pair one with smoked brisket, ribs, a burger, or our Brisket Mac & Cheese, grab a seat at the bar, and make a proper afternoon of it.

Good food. Cold b**r. Golden, Colorado. Cheers!

Some of the best parts of a neighborhood are the people you keep running into.

The friends who meet up for a drink after work. The familiar faces at the bar. The group that starts with “just one” and somehow turns it into dinner. The people who bring someone new along and make them feel like a regular by the end of the night.

At Old Capitol Grill, we’re grateful for every reason you choose to gather here. So here’s to good friends, cold drinks, and the community that makes Golden feel like home.

Brisket Mac & Cheese. A little smoky, a little indulgent, and exactly the kind of comfort food we like to put on the table. Our baked mac & cheese is loaded with shredded smoked brisket, bringing rich barbecue flavor to every creamy, cheesy bite.

Come hungry, order the mac, and make yourself comfortable at Old Capitol Grill.

Good food is better shared, and a full table is one of our favorite ways to bring people together.

Here’s to the friends who make plans, the ones who always order “one more for the table,” and the conversations that somehow last longer than dinner. At Old Capitol Grill, there’s always room for another chair and another round.

Gather your people, raise a glass, and make a night of it. Cheers to good company.

What a way to close out the Golden Hour MashUp season. It was so much fun to see the Golden community come out for one last evening together during this fun series, with costumes, pumpkin carving, live music, and plenty of good energy throughout the night at Old Capitol Grill.

A special thank you to and for putting on such a great series and bringing businesses and the community together throughout the season. We’re grateful to have been part of it.

Here’s to 150 years of Golden, and to many more great evenings celebrating the community to come.

The Smash Burger. Two smashed beef patties, house BBQ, caramelized onions, American cheese, brioche bun. This is the burger that makes people text their friends to come.

This burger used to be a one-day-a-week situation. Then y’all got obsessed with it. So now it’s on the menu every day at Old Capitol Grill!

There’s no one right answer when it comes to what’s in your glass.

Maybe you’re after a local craft b**r, a crisp glass of w**e, or a cocktail from the bar. Maybe it’s one of our Breck Vodka Seltzers from Colorado’s own Breckenridge Distillery, or an NA option that still feels like a proper drink.

Whatever you’re reaching for, we’ve got options for every kind of afternoon, dinner, celebration, or catch-up. Grab a seat, take a look at the bar, and order what sounds good.

Cheers to drinking exactly what you want!
