HOPKINS, Minn. — Inspectors will be determining the extent of damage Monday after an early morning fire roared through a popular bar and restaurant in downtown Hopkins.
Fire rigs were dispatched to Pub 819 on Main Street shortly after 12:45 a.m. Hopkins Police Sergeant James Niemackl says the incident was reported as a grease fire that started in the kitchen. Employees were on scene at the time of the fire but Niemackl believed no injuries were suffered.
Mutual aid partners arrived on the scene to help putting down the fire, which appears to have reached the second floor of the building as well.
The official cause of the fire is under investigation.
Pub 819 is part of a hospitality family that includes Stanley's, The Block and Duke's on 7.
