Latest News About Haskell's Port Of Excelsior

I don’t have live tool access right now, but here’s what’s publicly known about Haskell’s Port of Excelsior as of early May 2026:

• A fire occurred overnight on May 5, 2026, heavily damaging Haskell’s Port of Excelsior in Excelsior, Minnesota. Authorities described the damage as extensive and the building as likely a total loss, though no injuries were reported. The cause was under investigation. This has led to the restaurant and liquor store being closed for the foreseeable future [CBS News, May 5, 2026; Fox 9, May 5, 2026] [sources: CBS News 2026-05-05; Fox 9 2026-05-05].

• Reports from local outlets indicated the fire affected the restaurant portion of the building, with the roof collapse on the storefront side, and fire crews worked for about 90 minutes to bring it under control. Investigators and the building owner were cooperating on the scene [Fox 9 2026-05-05; CBS News 2026-05-05].

• Initial coverage suggested the liquor store operating within the same structure was not damaged to the same extent, and responders prevented spread to that portion of the building. The incident drew responses from multiple fire departments and involved several mutual-aid units [Fox 9 2026-05-05; CBS News 2026-05-05].
