A historic Easton-area bar and restaurant has its reopening in sight, months after a fire forced it to temporarily close.
The Iron Mule restaurant and bar plans to reopen in November at 831 S. Delaware Drive in Williams Township, owner Kate Hug announced online.
“Our doors may be closed for now, but please know that The Iron Mule family misses every single one of you,” Hug said. “We miss the laughter, the conversations, the familiar faces, the friendships, and all of the memories we’ve made together.”
Hug thanked firefighters from Williams Township and the surrounding departments for responding to the fire that occurred in May. There were no injuries.
“Because of their incredible efforts, the damage to our building was limited, and we have a building to come back to,” she said. “We will be forever grateful.”
In the time since the fire, the restaurant remained active on social media, engaging the community in debates such as “karaoke vs. live music”. It moved previously scheduled events to other locations.
The Iron Mule building, rumored to be haunted, was constructed in 1782 and previously operated as the Black Horse Tavern.
