It took about 25 minutes and the work of two dozen firefighters to bring the fire under control. The Metropolitan told Broadsheet the blaze was contained to one upstairs room of the building. “Firefighters worked quickly and managed to contain the fire to one upstairs room of the building," a spokesperson said.

Thankfully the bar was closed at the time and no injuries were reported. The full extent of the damage is unknown at this stage.
