FORT LAUDERDALE–Dapur Asian Tapas and Lounge, a restaurant and cocktail lounge popular with the LGBT community, suffered damages after a fire that started in the early am hours on Tuesday. The fire at the restaurant located at 1620 N Federal Hwy in Fort Lauderdale was reported at 3:51 am and was brought under control in less than half an hour.

According to Fire Rescue Capt. Greg May, the fire apparently started in the kitchen area and adjacent storage area, causing structural damage to the rear of the building and smoke and water damage to the remainder of the restaurant.
