Firewater Saloon - Edison Park

Great place to eat some fine tasting bbq, watch some sports, or take in a live concert on intimate stage with superb sound system. Friendly welcoming staff and engaging patrons. I go there alone sometimes to belly up or with my son, who begs me to take him here (he's 11). Go there!

Just visited Firewater the other day and unfortunately had a bad experience with sever “billa” (I’m not sure on the spelling). She was very aggressive while my friends and I were looking for a seat. She was cleaning off a table and we asked if we could sit there and her response was “ok what can I get you”. We weren’t ready to order much yet so my one friend just got a drink. She kept hounding us and got really upset when we weren’t ordering more. We even saw her talking about us to other people. We watched her be rude and pushy towards multiple customers. She also spent a lot of her time dancing with the old men and being their arm candy, obviously looking for a tip. I have enjoyed every past experience at firewater, especially with the servers that have been working there for a long time.

Always a good experience!

I’ve been looking for a holiday bar or Christmas themed bar in my neighborhood for a while and Firewater has it! Firewater is a Christmas bar! I don’t know when this started happening but it’s grinch theme adorable and the best part is, it’s local! They have special drinks regarding grinchand it’s just all of the fun of a holiday bar that’s decorated with Christmas decorations and none of the hassle of driving to Wrigleyville.

Had a work lunch at Firewater and 2 of the three meals were great! BBQ Chicken Salad was delicious, I had the corn bread as a side and so yummy. My colleague had garlic bread as his side, and again tasty! Our 3rd colleague ordered Cake Batter Pancakes - they smelled delicious and looked great! As she was eating the pancakes the taste/scent of onions became apparent. Either when the pancakes were cooked or the plate they were served on had onion residue. Disappointing! We'll be back but wanted to call out the issue.

I absolutely loved my experience at Firewater Saloon in Edison Park! The vibe was amazing fun, welcoming, and full of energy. The food was fantastic, the service was top-notch, and the overall atmosphere made it a perfect spot to enjoy a night out. From start to finish, everything felt just right. Great food, great service, and an even better vibe — I’ll definitely be coming back!

This place makes alot of their money by being known for having live music. Too bad they don't pay the bands. There's a long list of bands that they owe money to. If you aren't going to pay, don't hire the entertainment. This place is a disgrace.

Good food and always has a good entertainment energy

Tuesday Night is trivia, can be a lot of fun. Food is ok, typical bar food offerings.
The staff is very nice but it seems like they are perpetually at least one server down, so things take a bit longer than a lot of bars in the area.
