Lodged in the oldest standing fire station in Austin built in 1885, Firehouse Lounge has perfected the dual concept of flawless drinks and comfortable ambiance. The building houses both the Firehouse Lounge and a refurbished hostel. Entering speakeasy-style through the concealed bookshelf in the lobby, you suddenly find yourself in another world pervaded by dark wood, leather and dashing bartenders. The dim lighting adds to the warm and cozy atmosphere and the live jazz and blues music tops it off. In addition to the hand-crafted signature and classic cocktails, Firehouse Lounge offers boards of charcuterie and cheese and antipasto.
