"Housed in the same 1863 brick building at 812 12th Street that once served as the territorial capitol, the Old Capitol Grill & Smokehouse is described as an iconic Golden restaurant and bar that Aimee and Dean Valdez purchased and reinvented in 2017; its entrance is located on Washington Avenue (in contrast to Bella Colibri’s entrance on 12th Street)." - Paul Albani-Burgio
