(KY3) - Vine Pairings at Creekside, a restaurant near Sequiota Park, plans to reopen after a flash flood damaged the building in June.</p><p>Denise Allsop and her son Austin opened the bar and restaurant last October.</p><p>“And we decided to open at this location because it’s just beautiful. It’s so gorgeous. I used to come here years ago, and the creek is beautiful. It’s so peaceful. And it’s just, I think it’s a well-hidden gem in Springfield,” Allsop said.</p><h2>Flooding damaged the building in June</h2><p>Business was steady for seven months until the morning of June 8, when neighbors sent a text saying the building was flooding.</p><p>“Before we could even get down here, it had broken out that window. And then the road was flooded. The park was flooded,” Allsop said.</p><p>Allsop and her son rushed to the building.</p><p>“When we did get into the building, there was over three feet of flood, creek, mud, broken glass. All of our tables and chairs were floating in here. I mean, so many things were broken. Wine bottles were broken that were full of wine,” Allsop said.</p><h2>Community members helped with cleanup</h2><p>Allsop said friends and strangers helped recover items from the creek and clean the building.</p><p>“We had friends literally walking down the creek. And people I didn’t even know, pulling tables and chairs and things out of the creek and bringing them back to us. We probably have about a third of our original seating back. Just, thankfully, by their assistance. And they helped clean. I mean, our tables are scratched in here a bit. But, I’m telling you, they cleaned meticulously,” Allsop said.</p><p>Allsop said she posted requests for help on Facebook.</p><p>“I’ll post on Facebook, okay, I have a workday for friends and Vine Pairings. These are our chores for today. And people I’ve never even seen. One lady who’s never even been here came to help us,” Allsop said.</p><h2>Building rebuilt to code</h2><p>Allsop said the inside of the restaurant is back up to code and the building has been reinforced.</p><p>“We had to redo the front wall. The front door and wall. So, we have concrete siding now. It’s like Fort Knox in here,” Allsop said.</p><p>Vine Pairings at Creekside will reopen after Labor Day.</p><p><i>To report a correction or typo, please email</i> <i>digitalnews@ky3.com</i><i>.
