Little Rock, Arkansas – The well-known bar and grill in central Arkansas, which was highlighted in a 2018 episode of Guy Fieri’s Food Network program “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives,” has been shuttered indefinitely due to a fire that broke out on Monday night.
The North Little Rock Fire Department reports that at 8:40 p.m., they had effectively contained the fire to the strip mall after first responding to a fire at North Bar in the Park Hill neighborhood just after 7 p.m.
“We are not sure what happened and we don’t know what happens next,” North Bar wrote on social media while saying they would be closed until further notice. “We are receiving a lot of traffic due to people looking. Please stay clear of the area until we can get it cleaned up.”
incident officials stated that although the cause of the incident is still being investigated, it originated in one of the restaurant’s storage rooms.
As per the listed business hours, the bar is closed on Sundays and Mondays, thus nobody was there when the incident occurred.
Thank you to the first responders, neighbors, our families, and friends who called and sent messages, we appreciate ya’ll,” the North Little Rock business wrote online. “We are without words, keep us in your prayers.”
Along with Bruno’s Little Italy, another beloved Little Rock establishment, North Bar was highlighted in the “From Big Burgers to Little Italy” season 29 episode of DDD. They displayed their Sweet and Sour Chicken Sandwich and Arkansas Barbecue Burger.
