BURBANK—A small kitchen fire at Sardo's Grill & Lounge on Monday morning caused an estimated $35,000 in damage, Burbank officials said. Sardo's, located at 259 N. Pass Avenue in Burbank, has been the Tuesday night home of Porn Star Karaoke since the summer of 2003.
"A refrigerator caught on fire at 7 am on Monday morning," Sardo's owner Seymour Satin told AVN. "No one was here at the time, thank God, and it scorched and burned the kitchen. There is smoke damage throughout the whole, entire place."
The cause of the fire is under investigation, and Sardo's will have to be restored after the fire damage. "They tell me I have to replace every booth and every chair. They have to paint," Satin said. "Every liquor bottle has to be thrown out, every beer bottle, everything that has been opened up has to be disposed of. We have to restock the whole bar."
"I'm hoping to get open within two to three weeks," Satin said. "With Facebook and the social media -- you'll know."
