The Old Firehouse Wine & Cocktail Bar

If cold undercooked pre cut steak is your jam then this place is for you. How about some raw minced garlic as a seasoning? Don’t worry they got you covered. Enjoy paying top dollar for food you won’t eat? Look no further this is the spot for you

What a charming little restaurant - such a treat to have somewhere to go in Duncan with consistently delicious food and a warm, inviting atmosphere. I always get the daily pasta which is freshly made and delicious but everything on the menu is tempting. Great selection of wines, some local, and great service too.

We celebrated my daughter's birthday at the Old Firehouse Restaurant on October 17th. It was a memorable experience! Each of us had one of their famous cocktails. I had the pumpkin spice rum, which was incredible. I will certainly order it again. We decided to share several "small plates", which was an excellent idea. The food was delicious and served promptly. The atmosphere was warm friendly, and the service was outstanding. Everyone, including Jeff, the owner, Mariah, and Joel, our server, chatted with us and treated us 'Royally'. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the evening! We highly recommend and will be back again. Thank you for making our evening so special.

Legendary spot, best cocktails on the island for real for real. After biking 55km from Nanaimo, half of which in the dark, I needed a drink. My man Jeff let me store my bike inside as it wasn’t too packed, Joel killed it with the hospitality, water temperature, and a seamless inquiry——> drink order experience.

Now Jeff SMASHED this out of the ballpark. Custom cocktail not on the menu, not a rarity for Jeff. Smooth, perfect taste, and 3 slices of a perfect peach to top it off ?

Can’t wait to be back with my lady.

Jeff and the team here serve up some the best cocktails and food I have experienced. I am a foodie at heart and the wine bar never disappoints. 10/10 would recommend to any one of my friends or clients.

Jeff and the whole team always serve amazing food and cocktails. One of my favourite spots....anywhere, not just in Duncan. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Food is ok, not much selection. Not great if you have dietary restrictions as most items are premade. Service was fine- our waitress was nice. Was surprised at the prices- $5 for club soda and $5 for refills!! My friend and I spent $20 (plus tax and tip) on club soda ?
I feel if you have made a business decision to do something that no one else is doing, you should let customers know.

My favorite restaurant downtown Victoria charges $5 for their signature non-alcoholic drink and no-charge refills.

What an incredible evening. The burrata salad on special had a wide variety of unusual and also familiar greens with an assortment of yellow, green and red tomato that were sweet and fresh. My burger was one of the best burgers I've had in many years. The dipping sauce for the fries was delicious. The special local clam pasta dish was amazing. We sat on the patio and there was beautiful live music playing for the local community. The servers all worked together to ensure the highest level of attentive and timely service. They were professional and friendly. One of the best nights I've had in BC.

The food is good (not exceptional, but still ok). But the service is genuinely terrible. We were there on a long weekend, so maybe that was the issue? But you would think that they had some ability to plan ahead. Disappointed.
