Putting the Lounge Back in Cap Lounge

When the House recessed this fall for the election, Cap Lounge took advantage of the lull by closing the dankish lower level to be remodeled. Just in time for the return of the Hill posse, the lower level has re-opened with a new and improved loungy-ness.

The remodel includes new flooring, new ceilings, what had to have been a DEEP cleaning, and trendy new furnishings. But more exciting are the changes in the beer selection.

Behind the downstairs bar is now a refrigerator with nearly 50 beers by the bottle, and on top of the bar there will soon be twelve taps. Why, oh why, with all of these beers, do they STILL not offer Miller Lite?!

The current beer list includes the usual domestics (non-miller products), Rogue Dead Guy, several Chimays, Bell's Porter, Eggenberg Doublebock (a favorite of the Life Concierge when Miller Lite is missing) and Smuttynose Old Brown Dog, plus quite a few more.

The lounge always had a certain divey feeling that I liked, but downstairs took it a bit far. Hopefully this will be a much better alternative (no word yet on if the pool tables remain - lets hope so.)
