Capital Ale House Roof Collapse

About 3:30 PM on Saturday, a portion of the roof Capital Ale House in Fredericksburg collapsed, falling into the dining area of the restaurant. Due to the quick actions of the staff, all patrons and employees were able to escape safely and avoided being hit by the falling debris. 

For most of day Saturday our area was under a severe storm warning, as well as flash flood and tornado watches. It has not yet been determined if the collapse was weather related. The damage is reported to be significant and the restaurant is closed until further notice. 

We wish the employees of Capital Ale House well, and are looking forward to seeing them again once repairs are complete.
