Maggie Mae’s to open tonight
Although it was part of a three-alarm fire this morning that damaged several businesses on Sixth Street, Maggie Mae’s will be open tonight, said Octavia Aydlett, the club’s business manager.
The building suffered minimal water damage and some damage to its rooftop because of the fire, but the ground floor will be open, Aydlett said.
Guitarist J.T. Coldfire is scheduled to perform, according to the club’s Web site.
Austin Firefighters battled two blazes across the street from each other this morning on Sixth Street. One firefighter was injured.
Fire officials were notified of the first fire around 5 a.m. and arrived to find the Blind Pig Pub, Maggie Mae’s and the Black Cat tattoo parlor all engulfed in flames.
A second fire started across the street at the Vice Dance Club, 300 E. Sixth St., Battalion Chief Harry Evans said. That fire started while crews were working the first blaze, Evans said.
Both fires have been extinguished, and both were accidental, officials said.
