Jack's Firehouse

MusicMan Reviewer

Really good food and friendly service. Just a little too slow for my family. Took over an hour and half for our simple dinner. Salads were great and the Philly Cheesesteaks meat was great, but the bread was not good.

Jack's Firehouse is always a favorite go to! Amazing food, drinks and service as always. Yuri's personality and service were outstanding! I highly recommend you visit. 💕

We stopped here for drinks on a Friday evening and it was quite busy. Even though they were short staffed, we were served quite quickly. The drinks were pretty good, although very icy, and the calamari appetizer a little soggy. Overall, the atmosphere is probably what makes this place worth it.

Stopped here for a drink after Halloween Nights at Eastern State. When you enter you immediately notice the tall ceilings of the former firehouse. The building was originally built in the 1864 as the first paid fire department. It was then rebuilt in 1902 by the permanent architect of the Department of Public Health, Philip Johnson. This is where it gets wild. The original owner of Jack's, Jack McDavid, is the reason that Eastern State is open for Halloween. He brought the press there to show them the facility and then wrote an $18,000 check to turn the lights on for the first Halloween. Incredible. Back to the present day, we just went here for drinks and thankfully three spots opened at the bar. Our trio ordered a beer, wine and cocktail. My wife was worried the Southern Peach cocktail would be too sweet. The bartender asked midway through and when my wife informed him it was a tad sweet, he happily topped it off with unsweetened tea. Incredible service and an early happy birthday to that bartender! We had a great experience here and will need to return for food. Will also need to try Down Home Diner, McDavid's first restaurant.
