Fire Station Pub

A really nice looking bar that was empty the other night I went. The bartender was sweet althoug of the few people there this is a another place where rude people will be blasting the juke box for you to enjoy what they want to listen to. The one pool table was also being monopolized. The interior of the bar is alot nicer than what would expect driving by on Harlem Avenue.

Awesome pub. Great staff. Very friendly. Close to Chicago Fire stadium Toyota Park.

Is that...wait a minute...that's is a pub!

OK so this is one of those places that you'll probably pass by everyday before you even know it exists. It's just the location of this pub that makes it hard to even know they are there. This is a pretty cool pub though.

For starters, it has a decent parking lot. When you walk in, it's through a ramp like walkway which is almost like an enclosed porch, and then you open the door...Wow, it is a really clean looking bar. I've been to this bar 3 times, on odd days (Sun-Tues), and I think all their locals are there which is about 4. They have an OK pool table, plenty of seating, the bar itself is huge, 2 plasmas which the bartenders will cater to your viewing desire, a darts machine which is free to play, and digital Juke Box. I am still amazed at what a good looking bar it is, very updated, and they keep it very clean. This is really the reason why I didn't catagorize it as a dive bar.

The bartenders are very nice also; it could be coincidence but both that I have met are Polish. Not to worry, they don't make you feel out of place. They have drink specials that are usually mostly geared towards beer. They always have $1.25 MGD drafts, and they rotate the beer of the month (which is usually imports). Don't let this discourage you though, they have a fully stocked bar, which also hold lots of top shelf liquor, So for all my mixed drink lovers, they got you covered. Seriously the only thing this bar needs is people. Then again if you feel like bringing your own party, and feel like you run the place, this is it.

Pros: Very affordable, big selection both on beer and hard liquor, friendly locals.

Cons: Easy to miss, a little lonely

Overall: I like this place, and will be back for more!
