The owners of Uptop Bar begin clean-up efforts after nearby fire.
Uptop Bar and Lounge has commenced clean-up efforts following the effects of a nearby fire that originated at KP Exclusive Restaurant. The restaurant, located on Milford Road in Bon-Accord, was engulfed in flames yesterday evening, with reports indicating the fire began in the kitchen area. Videos circulating on social media captured the incident, sparking speculation that the blaze may have started at the popular Uptop Bar. However, clarification from the bar’s owners confirmed this was not the case. Abeni King, co-owner and operations manager stated that the fire did not begin at their establishment but downstairs where the KP Restaurant is situated, and that there was only smoke and heat penetration. She further stated that as a result of the loss of power and access to footage from the camera security system, she made efforts to remove and secure goods from the premises. Abeni added that she was overwhelmed with the support as Area Representative Assemblyman Joel Sampson along with members of the community came out to provide assistance. She said clean-up efforts are ongoing and that it would take a while for them to resume business. She also said that she is thinking about her staff while the clean-up efforts continue. The fire was contained by Fire Service officials. Less than a year ago an incident occurred at the establishment from which the owners have since recovered.
