Firehouse Grill

Nestled in a lovingly restored 1920s firehouse at 750 Chicago Avenue, Firehouse Grill has become a beloved gathering spot in Evanston, Illinois. The brick façade and original fire‑engine doors welcome guests into a spacious dining room where exposed brick, vintage fire‑house memorabilia and warm lighting create a relaxed, community‑focused vibe. Open daily from 11:30 a.m. until 10:00 p.m., the menu showcases elevated American comfort food: hand‑pressed juicy burgers topped with aged cheddar, smoky bacon and house‑made aioli; Detroit‑style pizza with a buttery crust, caramelized cheese edges and toppings ranging from classic pepperoni to vegetarian spinach‑feta. Hearty sandwiches such as the pulled‑pork BBQ melt and fresh salads like the seasonal mixed greens with candied walnuts round out the offerings, while shareable starters—loaded nachos, crispy onion rings, and fire‑roasted jalapeño poppers—perfectly complement the rotating selection of 14 craft beers on tap and a curated list of classic cocktails. The venue also caters to larger groups, serving Northwestern Athletics and local businesses with family‑style meals and custom catering packages. Happy hour runs Monday through Wednesday, featuring double rewards points and discounted drinks. Whether you’re watching a game on the wall‑mounted TVs, celebrating a private event in the private‑event room, or simply enjoying a casual dinner, Firehouse Grill delivers a blend of historic charm, flavorful dishes and friendly service that keeps locals and visitors coming back.
