Rolled up to this place after our ride and tried the BBQ pulled chicken sandwich with country-style potatoes on the side, and it hit all the right notes: smoky, tender, and packed with flavor. The potatoes were golden, crispy, and the perfect comfort side.
My friend went for the chicken with chili sauce, and told me it was equally awesome — juicy with just the right kick of heat without overpowering the taste.
Great spot, good portions, and perfect vibe for a weekend. Will definitely be back!

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.

I haven’t been this satisfied at a restaurant in ages. I got a brisket bowl that was humongous that I couldn’t finish. Quality lean brisket homemade mashed potatoes and the best corn bread I’ve ever had. The waiter was great and not overbearing. My girl got the meatloaf and also said it was one of the best she’s had in years. Each meal was under $20! I’ll be there a few times a month for sure!

Great place for food and drinks anytime. Great atmosphere of this old-fashioned bar. Service is nice, with a smile attentive but not overbearing. Food was tasty but too greasy for my liking.

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!

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!

Used to be our go to. We have been there so many times.
We went there recently and they were “out of tequila”. Well, at least the good stuff…
I settled for Hornitos
Then, we went back with some friends a week later and they were “out of tequila” again. All they has was El Jimador. Cheap tequila. All this after we told our friends what a great place it was. All I’m saying is there is a liquor store less than a block away. You could have sent someone there to get a bottle of any descent Tequila and we would have been ok with it. Zero effort on the ownership. To the owner. Do what you need to do to make your customers happy. Plus, it was an opportunity to make money for the business. I’ll miss the great fried chicken but you lost us for good.

Talk about festive. The team here did an amazing job decorating for the holidays. They didn’t just put a few decorations up, they went with a full theme, complete with scene-scaping, consistency throughout the entire restaurant and bar area and their outdoor dining area. Beyond that, the service was great and the food delivered. You can’t beat their chicken pot pie or bowls. Such a great experience.

If country is your thing then this is the place for you. Not my thing but party on. the buffalo chicken eggrolls were great! And the bartender—I wish I caught her name, was so great! Made a great margarita and offered even better service.
