My husband and I came here today before the Illini basketball game. We were going to order the Stone Xocoveza stout until the gentleman next to us mentioned that they had Founder's Kentucky Breakfast Stout on tap. Whoa. We suddenly were in the craft beer mecca of the CU.
We came to find out we were sitting next to the manager of Firehaus (unless he has a different official title). He was so friendly, knowledgeable about craft beer and we spent a great amount of time discussing Midwestern breweries.
We proceeded to order the boneless wings that were on special and the Firehaus fries. The fries were to die for. Perfection.
This version of Firehaus is a little different than the one of my college days in 2003 (though I acknowledge it was a Sunday afternoon!). The craft beer options here are stellar and we will be back.
Note --- $3 drafts on Sundays!
