THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Capri Lounge & Fried Chicken Restaurant Review:


Area loyalists have deemed this timeworn Five Points establishment the place for deep fried poultry. This status says as much about the food here as it does about what Denverites consider good fried chicken, because we don’t see what all the flapping is about. This is standard-issue greasy spoon bird, tossed in white flour before hitting the deep fryer. The result is a bird heavy on the grease and lean on the layers of crunch that a home-style skillet-cooked hen delivers. The rest of the Kapre fare---from fries to frozen fish and shrimp---gets a similar bathed-in-oil treatment that leaves the belly full and the fingers slick. If you’re looking for a real nitty-gritty dive to drink beer in, however, come in for a cool one at Kapre’s bar. This is as close to an unrepentant juke joint as it gets in the downtown area. Bar conversations range from race issues and local politics to lost love and handguns.
