WILLIAMS TWP., Pa. \u2013 More than five months after a fire damaged and temporarily closed a much-loved restaurant in Northampton County, a comeback is on the horizon.<\/p>\n
Iron Mule Restaurant & Bar, highlighting \u201ctwists on American classics and your favorite comfort foods,\u201d will reopen on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 831 S. Delaware Drive in Williams Township, according to an announcement on the business\u2019 social media pages.<\/p>\n
The restaurant has been temporarily closed since the May 22 fire.<\/p>\n
\u201cFAMULEY, THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER!\u201d reads the online announcement.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter months of rebuilding, renovating, and counting down the days, we\u2019re officially ready to welcome you back HOME! The doors reopen **NOVEMBER 5TH**, and we can\u2019t wait to see our favorite faces back where they belong. Same Iron Mule you know and love, with a fresh new look and plenty of memories waiting to be made.\u201d<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported in the two-alarm May fire, and in an earlier social media post, owner Kate Hug thanked the Williams Township Fire Department and surrounding local fire departments that \u201cworked tirelessly to contain the fire\u201d and helped limit the building\u2019s damage.<\/p>\n
Iron Mule opened in January 2020 at a rustic, 18th century property along the Delaware Canal and Delaware River.<\/p>\n
Over the decades, the historic building housed a number of other dining establishments, including Bacon Gourmet, Stemie\u2019s Place and Black Horse Tavern.<\/p>\n
Iron Mule serves up appetizers such as house-made chili, Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, bone-in or boneless wings and \u201cspiral spuds\u201d (whole spiral-cut Idaho potato with crumbled bacon and house beer cheese); and entrees such as blackened cod, filet medallions, chicken Marsala and chicken or shrimp with vodka sauce.<\/p>\n
Guests also can enjoy a wide array of burgers and handhelds such as a California cheesesteak, Cuban panini, chipotle burger, black bean burger, brisket sandwich, avocado chicken sandwich, crispy fried mushroom po boy, taco platter (choice of chicken, pork or beef) and \u201cThe Mule\u201d (loaded burger with cheddar, bacon, Iron mustard, candied bacon, lettuce, red onion and tomato).<\/p>\n
The restaurant also features a full bar and regularly hosts entertainment, including live music, karaoke and bingo.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou stuck by us through it all, and now it\u2019s time to celebrate,\u201d the reopening announcement continues.<\/p>\n
The online post garnered dozens of reactions and comments, primarily from loyal patrons excited about the restaurant\u2019s return.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan\u2019t wait to see you Miss Kate and staff!\u201d one person stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cYay!!\u201d another person commented. \u201cGet those wonderful burgers and churros and ice cream ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
