Old Capitol Brew Works has been in existence since 2004. Old Capitol Brew Works is in a little “restaurant row”; the middle facilities are the nice restaurant and the college pub. The restaurant is called “The Brewery”, and labeled by Fodor's as “arguably the most beautiful restaurant in Iowa City” (although Fodor's also mentioned linen tablecloths which we never saw) and the bar is called “Old Capitol Public House”. The dining area was adorned with dark wood paneling and crafted accents, and a large polished wood bar stands between the dining area and the brass brew kettle and mash tun. The large glass windows, wood trim, and the very high ceilings gave this 1800's factory a feel of open elegance. The Public House area was a college bar with loud music and pool tables.
