Fire shuts down the The Sidecar, but it'll reopen tonight
This was the crazy scene yesterday afternoon at the corner of 22nd and Christian — a fire originating somewhere in the second-floor kitchen of The Sidecar forced the bar staff and guests to evacuate onto the street to make way for Philly firefighters, who swarmed the building and climbed the roof to inspect the output of the hood system. Owner Adam Ritter reports that the scene was much more dramatic than the fire itself — "a small fire, with lots of cleanup." Crap timing on a busy weekend with beautiful weather and plenty of residual Craft Beer Express business, to say nothing of the brand-spanking newness of the second floor and kitchen. Good news, though: No one was injured, and The Sidecar will reopen for business tonight with a limited food menu.
