Step into The Firehouse, a restaurant in Pennsylvania, and you can almost hear the whispers of history. Everywhere you look are tributes to the firehouse that once occupied the building. A spiral staircase leads to a second story. The front garage door offers picture-perfect views of the street from the bar. And, plenty of firehouse-related artwork adorns the walls.

Before it became a popular restaurant, the building that houses The Firehouse Restaurant was Hope Station #2, part of the Harrisburg Hope Fire Company.

After serving the Harrisburg community since 1871, Hope Station #2 closed in 1980, relocating to a more modern firehouse in the city.

That, of course, paved the way for a new chapter of the firehouse’s story to begin. The Firehouse Restaurant debuted in 1997.

Today, the vibrant former firehouse focuses on providing diners with a unique dining experience and dishes made from fresh, local ingredients.

Grab a seat by the bar, which features a fire hydrant, as you await your table. Or, simply have a drink and enjoy the view of the restaurant and outdoors.
