A fire Saturday at Edmonton's Hilltop Pub is especially disheartening for the bars' regulars. The business reopened in December after a fire in 2021 forced it to close for a year.
in Edmonton early Saturday and although the building didn’t sustain major damage — regulars say it’s heartbreaking to see their bar fall victim to yet another blaze and be closed for a second time.“I was awake at 4:30 and heard a loud bang then shortly after some showed up, several trucks, ambulance,” said Nicole Middleton.
“It was a huge loss to the community last time they were out of business … after the last fire. I hope this one isn’t too bad,” said regular patron Denver Powell. “A bunch of people just got together and just rallied around and rebuilt, reupholstered … collected dishes, got things together, cleaned it up and just got it going,” said Middleton.Trending NowHilltop reopened last December and locals say a void was filled when they could visit the bar once again.
The extent of the damage and how long the bar will be closed isn’t known just yet, but that won’t stop the regulars from supporting their favourite local businesses.
