Help Our Beloved Bartenders Rebuild After Devastating Loss

Our community was shaken by the heartbreaking news that Mulligan’s Brick Bar was destroyed in a fire, leaving its incredible team of bartenders and staff suddenly unemployed. Tragically, this is the second bar to burn down in Allentown in less than a year, and some of these hardworking individuals were also employees at the Old Pink which fell victim to disaster just 6 months ago.

For many of us, Brick Bar wasn’t just a bar—it was a second home. It was where we celebrated milestones, forged friendships, and found a sense of belonging. The bartenders and staff were the heart and soul of that experience, always greeting us with warm smiles, great drinks, and endless hospitality.

Now, they need our help. As they face this unexpected loss of income, we’re asking the community to come together and support these amazing individuals during this difficult time. Funds raised will go directly to the bartenders and staff to help cover their immediate living expenses, bills, and any other support they need as they work to get back on their feet.

Let’s show them the same love and generosity they’ve always shown us. No contribution is too small, and every dollar helps. Thank you for being part of the community that lifts each other up in times of need. Together, we can make a difference.

I have been given permission by owner of Brick Bar, Kim Rossi, to manage these funds.
