Stopped in for tea 2 nights in a row because found this place to be excellent with customer service and quality of food. Not too crowded with plenty of room to find a private spot for a bite to eat, drink and chat. Fact that it's an old fire station with some history charted makes it an even better attraction. Selection on menu is varied and both nights with 6 different meals ordered, not one missed the mark. Thank you and we will return.

We had a work event for 20 people and everyone enjoyed themselves. As it was a group gathering the food was for sharing, pizzas etc. The food was excellent and the service was very good and quiet friendly. The venue is very well designed and decorated. We had a very good night.

A group of 8 friends booked a birthday celebration at the Firehouse. Venue clean, food good but by god the barnacle staff were completely disinterested bordering on surly. I’d be interested to know if barnacle staff were as annoyed at having to serve patrons as they seemed?. Happy to talk to management.

I assume this was a firehouse originally. Can't tell now, it looks nice inside hut pretty generic. Not as cool as other pubs were on this hot day. Very expensive but maybe not much more than the typical North Sydney pub.

An interesting and funky place. My friend said that North Sydney is like a Silicon Valley of Australia with all the IT companies that are around here (he works for one). It seems a popular place for work drinks and for others like me. A good selection of drinks, with most staff being friendly and with a sense of humour. Very buzzy place and highly recommended for a good place to drink on a Friday night. Handy location.

I seem to be the opposite of most people here. My food was delicious. I went on a Thursday when the special was schnitzel. The only problem was I ordered a vodka and orange which was just ordinary old Smirnoff red and store bought oj. And it cost me $13.30!! I was amazed. My schnitzel was cheaper. I certainly wouldn’t come here for a night out I’d have to take out a loan. But I love the building itself and the staff were friendly enough.

Office lunch for Melbourne Cup. The deal was $40 per person for a main meal and any drink. Considering that many of the meals were burgers this is really expensive. The only real meal options were Steak and Barramundi which were both pronounced delicious. If you wanted dessert (the only offering was chocolate mud cake!) it was an extra $10. For a pub I found that the general price of food was on the high side. Being Melbourne Cup day you would expect a venue like this to be noisy but the noise level in here was literally painful. Two days later and my ears still hurt!!! The staff were great, service was great and the fitout is very pleasant, but with so much timber it is very noisy (even colleagues who come here reasonably regularly for lunch admitted that on an ordinary day it is noisy). Such a shame.

When wait staff play with their long hair around food and bar area, displaying their arm pits for the world to see is off putting! Disgusting!
Upon ordering, to receive attitude from the wait staff because their flirting and socialising was disrupted is absolutely unacceptable.
On receiving our order NOT to be acknowledged by staff. If was taking the correct food or somebody elses order, the staff just did not seem to care!
The medium steak was sent back due to being well overdone but to argue with a staff member dismissing my claim until I had to cut it straight down the middle to prove my point was a clear indication never to return especially being a local resident.
No compensation or any other meal was offered so we left in disgust and disappointment after paying for food and drink we did not consume!
Poor, poor, poor

Had lunch here. Pizza with prosutto topping was ok but fried calamari was a total disaster. It tasted like frozen cooked calamari. Steak was cooked well but a tad tasteless. Prices are average. Wine list is pretty alright

Went there for a work event on a Thursday night and lets just say we seemed to be such an inconvenience to the downstairs staff when we ordered a drink.
Better pubs in the area to spend your money like rag n famish, greenwood or the terrace.
