At around 10:18 p.m. Friday, fire crews arrived at 2 Twelve Seasonal Kitchen + Bar at 212 W. Clay St., to find smoke billowing from the roof of the restaurant, Mebane Fire Chief John Welons said. He added the fire was under control by 10:41.The emergency call was made by an employee of a nearby business after a patron reported seeing smoke coming from the roof area of the restaurant.In a social media post on the 2 Twelve Facebook page, the owners announced news of the fire and the restaurant’s indefinite closing.“Thursday [sic] evening, our world was turned upside down when a fire broke out at 2 Twelve,” the statement began. “There are simply no words to describe how difficult and overwhelming an experience like this is. No one is ever prepared for something of this magnitude.”Concern and well-wishers were quick to offer support for the business, its owners and staff.“First and foremost, we want to say thank you to everyone who has reached out with prayers, kind words, messages, phone calls, and support,” the Facebook post continued. “To our loyal patrons, friends, family, and the entire community, please know how much it means to us. Your love and encouragement have been a tremendous source of comfort during an incredibly difficult time.There were no reports of injuries and the restaurant was closed at the time of the fire. According to Mebane Fire Chief Welons, the fire was in the kitchen area, although the exact location of where it started was still unclear. The fire caused extensive structural damage and smoke damage to the restaurant. Fire officials also say there was no fire or water damage to nearby businesses. 2 Twelve Seasonal Kitchen is sandwiched between NAPA Auto Parts and Walker Insurance Agency in the same strip of businesses.“At this point, the cause of the fire has not yet been determined,” the 2 Twelve social media statement said. “We do know that it originated in the kitchen, and we will allow the proper investigation to determine exactly what happened.Unfortunately, 2 Twelve will remain closed until the restaurant can be fully restored.”The restaurant originally opened November 2019, specializing in American and scratch-made Southern comfort food and craft cocktails. Its address, 212 W. Clay St., inspired the restaurant’s name. The business became a popular destination for folks seeking an intimate dining experience. Previously, the location was home to Mebane Knights Wine Bar.The restaurant has overcome adversity in the past. In September 2024, the restaurant briefly closed when a pipe burst beneath the kitchen, causing damage that resulted in replacement of the subfloor and floors.“While we don’t know exactly what the road ahead looks like, we do know one thing: 2 Twelve is more than a restaurant,” the restaurant’s statement said. “It’s a community, a gathering place, and a whole lot of wonderful memories.We are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. Please keep us in your prayers as we navigate the days ahead.With heartfelt gratitude and love.”Attempts to reach the owners for comment and further details were unsuccessful.</div></body>
