The demolition of Mulligan’s Brick Bar in Buffalo’s Allentown was brought to a standstill by mechanical issues just a few hours after work began. Neighbors tell 7 News it’s a sign to keep it standing.

Mulligans neighbor, legendary dive bar, The Old Pink, was set ablaze and was burned beyond repair. John W. Burns was charged with arson in that case. Burns remains in a residential treatment facility while he awaits trial in federal court.
