On August 12, the pub caught fire after a car drove through the front entrance at the height of happy hour, according to Arlnow.com.

The accident left multiple customers and staff members with serious  injuries from burns, smoke inhalation and the impact of the speeding car crashing into the pub, the website said. 

"...despite one’s mistake today, the great staff that make up a place we call home are supported today, tomorrow, and in the time ahead."

A friend of the pub created a GoFundMe page in order to gather financial support from the community. 

Many customers commented on the page to show their  commitment to rebuilding the pub.

The GoFundMe page had raised $73,485 of their $50,000 goal as of August 16.
