Well, the weekend rumors are confirmed: Cally's will become another location for the Richmond-based Capital Alehouse.  Renovations will begin July 12, with an opening expected on Harrisonburg's Court Square in October.

Harrisonburg marks the fifth location for the Capital Alehouse, with others being in Richmond, Innsbrook Fredericksburg, and Midlothian.  It also marks the only non-locally owned chain restaurant in downtown Harrisonburg since (I think) the Daily Grind had a coffee shop on Court Square. Capital Alehouse HarrisonburgI'll certainly miss Harrisonburg's Cally's (which I still call Calhoun's most of the time), and having locally-brewed beer on tap.  That said, I've enjoyed my experiences at other Capital Alehouse and will be curious how the renovations and new menu impact downtown.

Here's the press release, from VAcraftBeer.com:

I am sad to see a locally owned business go, but I have heard great things about Capital AleHouse. Does this mean that downtown is back, if out of town businesses are moving in?
