In 2017, Aimee Rizzo ofThe Infatuationwrote, "If you think cider houses are dumb, then you clearly haven’t been to Capitol Cider. It feels like being 16 and hanging out with your friends in your basement playing board games, but without any mildew smells, and with alcohol you obtained legally... If you're lucky enough to get a table, break out theCards Against Humanityand grab a pint of something semi-dry if you're into the classics, or a funky apple mead if you're feeling like a medieval court jester (or just adventurous). "[11]She also included Capitil Cider in a 2022 list of "The 18 Best Bars in Seattle".[16]
