CRYSTAL LAKE, IL — Duke's Alehouse and Kitchen in downtown Crystal Lake is temporarily closed after an unexpected power surge damaged two key components of its kitchen exhaust system, Shaw Local is reporting.

Owners say the restaurant at 110 N. Main St. closed the afternoon of Aug. 21 and was expected to remain closed while repairs were completed, according to the article. ComEd said a momentary outage lasting less than a minute affected the downtown area last week due to a temporary disturbance on the power grid, but the utility said it has no record of a power surge in the area.

"Aaand we're back! Kitchen exhaust is back up and running. We will be ready for service starting at 4pm. See you soon," the post read.
