It is really hard to review a bar from your college town. The nostalgia factor gets in the way of objectivity! I've always liked Firehaus but it was never one of my haunts. I like how they have large tables, and how the front is open-air. They have lots of daily drink specials, and the atmosphere isn't sketchy. Dim lighting, very red in there. Well I guess it is a firehouse. Despite it "looking" nicer than some other campus bars (it's really just that it's newer, I'm sure), you are still going to run into some silly silly people. Last time we were here, a drunk guy was talking to us and wouldn't leave, so we took his flip flops and hid them in the girls bathroom. So you know, it's not a total class act of a bar, but it's pretty clean and well-maintaned compared to some of the other options.
