Writing was on the wall, but Hunter Gatherer is closing for good. Really too bad - I was a fan and like that little strip of commercial businesses.

I saw some lights on at The Capital the other day. Looks like work is being done inside of some sort. I know the rumour was they were rebranding and changing menu.

They've been vandalized 4 or 5 times and had a bad fire. Luck was just not with them.

Lancaster Taphouse is opening in the old Capitol location on Hamilton. I assume they're opening a second location here & not moving from their current location in Harbour Landing?

I believe that is true, at least it was pre-covid.
I had heard the HL location was always quite busy.

Probably a good move. Pub style seems to be the trend these days. I will definitely try to give them business. Their food has always been good.

Great news!
Wasn't it the same ownership group (The Capitol and Lancaster's)? I enjoyed the unique vibe The Capitol offered, but unfortunately it never seemed to be busy.

Yes, same ownership.

Pretty sure that's just a photoshop job.

Nope, they've had their sign up for a week or so!

Glad they kept the marquee inspired signage, though I did like the capitol font on the white background.

(Lancaster's is good though, so absolutely no complaints about them opening a downtown location)

If it's not a photoshop job than it's pretty ugly.

BrutallyDishonest2 · #**935** Posted **Oct 25, 2020, 1:04 AM**

I mean, yeah, it's terrible, terrible sign. But from what some employees have said about the company, terrible is par of the course.

Not sure if this was mentioned previously - but I see the rezoning was approved to accommodate some sort of restaurant at 1378 Hamilton Street:

It will indeed be a great space someday, love that building.

Really nice to see that side of downtown start to pick up a little bit.

Agreed. It took some time, but that building has become a beacon of interesting local retailers. Exactly the type of spaces and destinations that the downtown hopefully continues to attract.
