Three Kings Public House in The Loop experienced a kitchen fire on Monday, forcing the restaurant to close temporarily, as reported yesterday by the Riverfront Times’ Ian Froeb.
According to co-owner Ryan Pinkston, a small fire in the kitchen occurred around 12:30 p.m. on Monday. No one was injured but some cooking equipment was damaged, forcing the owners to close the restaurant as they awaited the arrival of the necessary part. According to Pinkston, the restaurant should reopen today at 5 p.m. The kitchen fire comes on the heels of a temporary power outage at Three Kings after a storm rolled through the area last Saturday. “It’s been a crazy last few days,” said Pinkston. Here’s to hoping for a smooth reopening.
