I have a love hate relationship with The Firehouse. I love drinking there but I generally hate the food. Unless I drink a lot, and then I can't get enough of their flatbread pizzas.
This is a great place to go for a happy hour gathering or to throw a party of some sort. I held a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend on the patio a few years back and the manager worked with me to provide a decent spread of food for our guests. This isn't my favorite local bar by any means, but it's a pretty good place to hang out.
Note that there are a bunch of fire hydrants on one side of the building in the parking area. They're fake, but every time I go there, I think I'm in a fire zone and then remember the bar is called The Firehouse. Duh. Parking is at a premium, so on a happening weekend night, you might have to park across the street in what looks like a place you shouldn't park in.
