===Fire===

In the early morning hours of [[April 11]], [[2001]], a fire gutted the HandleBar's historic brick building. The fire was classified as "suspicious" by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, but the cause was never determined.<ref>"HandleBar to rebuild after suspicious fire." ''Pensacola News Journal'', August 29, 2001.</ref> The insurance payment the Lamars received did not cover the cost to rebuild, and they initially had trouble with financing before getting a loan from [[Peoples First Community Bank]]. [[Seville Quarter]] and [[Subterranean Books]] held fundraisers to benefit the effort, and others volunteered labor and materials: a beer cooler from [[Bobby D's]], flooring from [[Florida Tile]], architectural design by [[George Koper Associates]], marble salvaged from the [[Hotel San Carlos]], and a custom deadhead cypress bar<ref name="burns"/>. It reopened twenty months later on [[December 21]], [[2002]]. Previously partitioned into three separate rooms, the building now has no interior walls.
