At about 1:30PM today the building housing the Liberty Street Tavern, a popular bar among Muhlenberg College students and West Allentown residents, caught fire causing serious damage to the Tavern and the attached residences. 69 News has been following the story since the fire erupted, they have complete coverage here. Fortunately no one was hurt, but the fire could not have come at a worse time. The Tavern was scheduled to host a stop on the West Allentown pub crawl on May 2. It’s really unfortunate that this happened but don’t let this deter you from participating in the pub crawl. As far as I know the crawl is still on, but if that should change I’ll let everyone know. The owner of the Tavern says he plans to rebuild, hoping to come back “stronger” than before.
