A Sunday night fire at the On Deck Bar & Grill on Route 17, east of Kankakee, destroyed the tavern’s deck. 

Firefighters were able to keep the flames from doing serious damage to the inside of the building.  Reports of up to a dozen fire departments answered the call around 11 pm.

No one was injured. The cause remains under investigation.

There were no customers. The On Deck has been closed since the county recently stripped the bar of its liquor license, because of an alleged  illegal stripper party.
