Step into a piece of Colorado's past at a building that once served as the first capital of the Colorado Territory. In 1863, William A.H. Loveland constructed it to house the territorial government, where lawmakers gathered from 1862 to 1867.

In 1865, the westernmost room was added to house the Territorial Library. Over the past 160+ years, these walls have witnessed life as a general store, saloon, hotel, and restaurant, each chapter adding to its rich, story-filled history. Whether you're pulling up a stool at the bar for a great conversation with the friendly staff or cozying up in one of the private booths, Old Capitol Grill & Smokehouse invites you to indulge in house smoked meats, classic American fare, and signature cocktails alongside a selection of local brews.

As you dine, take a moment to explore and soak in the history that surrounds you. Walk-ins are welcome, and the patios are dog friendly.
