Tomorrow night, we're pairing two of our favorite Wednesday traditions. 🍷🎶
Join us on the patio from 6 to 9pm for live music with Elaine Dame, a glass (or two) of something you love, and a summer evening at the Firehouse.
And because Wednesdays call for a good bottle on the table, enjoy half-off bottles of w**e all evening. Reserve w**es excluded.
The final Wednesdays of summer are worth making plans for. We'll see you on the patio.

Sundays are for slowing down, staying for dessert, and ordering the carrot cake. 🥕🍰
Consider this your reminder to save a little room after dinner for a slice and one last sip before the weekend officially comes to a close.
Sunday well spent at The Chicago Firehouse.

Saturday plans? We’ve got a patio for that. ☀️🍸
It’s shaping up to be a beautiful day in Chicago, and we can’t think of a better excuse to spend a little extra time outside. Start with cocktails on the patio, stay for dinner, and let a summer Saturday unfold from there.
We open at 3 PM. See you at the Firehouse. 🔥

Meet the Hanging Garden, a refreshing mix of Beefeater Gin, soju, St-Germain, and kiwi.

For the w**e people, this one’s for you. 🍷
We recently got our hands on a special collection of w**es that you don’t often have the opportunity to taste by the glass, including highly sought-after bottles from Spottswoode and Pride Mountain Vineyards.
Normally the kind of w**es you’d commit to by the bottle, we’re pouring this lineup by the glass for a limited time, giving you the chance to discover something exceptional without choosing just one.
Consider this your reason to make Wednesday w**e night a little more interesting.
Available in-house while the bottles last.

You deserve a treat after a weekend of back-to-school prep and dodging tornadoes. 📚🌪️
Thankfully, the forecast is looking much sweeter.

The Chicago Air & Water Show always gives us something to look up at. We think dessert deserves the same attention. ✈️
After a day along the lakefront, end your weekend with a slice of our Coconut Buttermilk Pie. Toasted coconut, silky buttermilk custard, and Chantilly cream come together in a classic summer dessert that's light, nostalgic, and worth saving room for. 🥥🥧
Whether you're taking in the show or simply enjoying a summer Friday in the city, we'll have dinner (and dessert) waiting.

What people say
The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for classic and inventive American steakhouse fare. Located in the South Loop, this historic building was originally designed as a firehouse for Engine Company 104 and is now a designated Chicago Landmark. The renovations made to the restaurant reflect thoughtful attention to turn of the century design elements while maintaining the building's beauty and heritage.
Upon entering through the firehouse's original doorway on 14th Street, guests will find a large bar area, hand-painted mural, 12 patterned tin ceiling, original Tiffany glazed brick, custom millwork and tufted banquettes. The now 15,000 square foot steakhouse offers a spacious solarium with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the restaurant with natural light and a state-of-the-art kitchen visible from various vantage points.
The first floor's bar area, main dining room and solarium offer seating for 215 guests. The second floor is dedicated to private event space and can accommodate parties of up to 250 guests. This level's renovation includes sun-filled spaces with walnut paneled walls, reclaimed wood floors and beautifully handcrafted doors. Two large parlor rooms (Palmer Parlor and Kimball Parlor) were aptly named for the first families of Chicago who resided on Prairie Avenue. The Mayor's Room is handsomely designed with a fireplace and 11-foot doors.
The menu at The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant features classic American steakhouse dishes as well as inventive new creations that are sure to please any palate. Whether you're in the mood for a perfectly cooked steak or something more adventurous like their signature Lobster Mac & Cheese or Grilled Octopus appetizer, you won't be disappointed.
