Housed in a transformed firehouse, this Chicago steakhouse offers a vibrant atmosphere and top-notch American fare, making it a must-visit hot spot.
"The Chicago Firehouse used to be the home of the Chicago Fire Department’s Engine Company 104. The building is from 1905 and has a vintage-yet-modern feel—including the menu, which covers all the classic steakhouse bases like an excellent lobster bisque and steaks that are aged and butchered in-house. The restaurant is cavernous, with a large front bar that tends to fill up around Happy Hour, plus a very nice, somewhat secluded patio. It’s a great option for when you want to have a nicer-than-average weeknight dinner, or when you have something special to celebrate." - veda kilaru, adrian kane, john ringor
"Located inside a building that was once a Chicago Fire Department firehouse, this South Loop establishment is steeped in history. In 2017, ownership rebuilt and restored the space after a devastating fire forced it to close. The menu boasts highlights like lobster bisque, prime steaks, and Irish coffee cheesecake. Often overlooked, this restaurant is consistent and a reason to travel to the South Loop. Grab a table on Resy." - Ashok Selvam

"This steakhouse was a former fire station and coincidentally was closed for two years after a fire. Chicago Firehouse reopened in 2017 and is a popular spot for private events. The building was erected in 1905. It’s a classic menu with shrimp cocktails on all the traditional staples of a steakhouse. It also just added a speakeasy-style bar in the basement called the Blue Room." - Ashok Selvam
