"A longtime downtown bar closed temporarily after an early-morning fire on Tuesday, January 14 damaged the space; a Facebook post says the fire broke out in the electrical room of the bar’s basement as an apparent result of a utility explosion that originated outside of the building. A reopening date hasn’t been announced, but ownership said in the Facebook post that it expects to recover; a GoFundMe fundraising campaign has been launched in support of employees and the bar has held pop-up events at nearby Whisky Parlor." - Serena Maria Daniels
