The Fireside Restaurant & Lounge Incorporated

I have always gone here for brunch and I just love it. They have a great bloody mary bar, the food is delicious, and service is great. The restaurant is huge so I have never had to wait for a table. Warm decor. Nice place.

This place is a regular of mine for many reasons. The make the best Tanqueray Martini I've ever had, and when I ask for extra olives (always), I'm sometimes brought a whole bowl! There are 3 sections to this restaurant-an indoor dining area with working fireplace, a bar wich allows cigar smoking and has a jukebox, and the famous oudoor patio, open all year (heated in the winter). Thier food isn't bad, it's served until 3a.m. and has some staples like the lemon pepper chicken and pork chops (a couple personal favorites), and they have pizza, burgers and reasonably priced appetizers if you're not that hungry. The one thing I don't like or recommend is their pasta, it's usually dry and overcooked, but otherwise, with a bar that's open until 4a.m., it's a great hangout to eat drink and be merry!

This is one of my neighborhood favorites. Fireside is worth visiting at least for a cocktail.

If you are going to eat at the Fireside definitely request to be seated in their patio area, which is used all year round through coverings and heaters. It feels like you are eating on a giant deck in summer even if it's January!

The food is sometimes hit or miss.They offer everything from Pizza to full dinners. They have amazing chicken fingers and you can get them with a side salad for like $6. They also have a variety of creative libations and hard cider on tap.

They have crazy late hours. They serve food until 3 am and the bar closes at 4 am. This is a great place to invite friends for a late night fix or to have a romantic dinner on the "Fireside section" of the building.
