    One of our friends suggested this place so we decided to give it a try. The menu was really small which might have been a seasonal thing but we felt like the options weren’t the best. (It might be better at a different time of day!) We both ended up getting the pulled pork sandwich, as itself it was good we were big fans of the slaw. The service was pretty slow and it wasn’t very busy. The staff was friendly and it seemed like a great atmosphere.

    It’s easy to find. I was literally surprised that place was a fire station before it was a restaurant. The interior and building is gorgeous! Also, mood was perfect. They have really good deals in happy hours. Food wise, perfect. Before the day I visited ‘Hi-Life’, I used to go Portage Bay Cafe for breakfast, but from now on, this is my place for yummy breakfast🥰

    Pretty good all around but the food can be uneven and oddly, sometimes the beer is too cold served in a frosty glass (more suitable for Bud or Coors than a craft IPA). Still, these don't keep me from coming back. The staff is nice and it's big enough you can always get in. I like the ambience of the historic building.

    Nice place, was here for a work dinner and food was good, beers were good too. There's one or two vegan dishes as well. Service was prompt and courteous. This is an old fire station and has a nice feel to it.

    $4, $5, $6 happy hour menu with a huge variety for happy hour food. It will please vegans and carnivores alike. Food is delicious and unique. Great cocktail list and lovely bartenders.
