Reviews for Columbia Firehouse in Alexandria, VA
Always good, and pretty cheap during happy hour! Small but well-curated selection of beers. Great oysters, for $1 each during... happy hour! Good food otherwise at more normal prices. I typically sit at the bar, and service is always great. I?ve had mealsin the dining room on a couple occasions and they were excellent as well. A larger menu - which is also available at the bar ifyou ask - but typically service is just a bit slower. Read more
What a delight! It was a cold winter's night as we walked briskly along the streets of Old Town Alexandria. Coming into this... charming, warm restaurant was a very welcome change. The decor is lovely, the service very good and the food is tasty. We werevery happy with our whole meal. It is both kid friendly and a fun hangout for adults, which is hard to accomplish. We recommendgoing for a nice dinner or just a drink at their inviting bar. P.S. The biscuits were almost worth fighting over! Read more

This place is amazing, our new go-to place when guests come into town. One of the few places in old town Alexandria that has not... fallen into the trap of mediocrity due to the high volume of visitors (like the majority of the restaurants in old townunfortunately). Everything we ate was excellent, HOWEVER the Thai Curry Mussels were the highlight of the meal. Simple yetunique, defiantly a must try. Then if the food and atmosphere were not enough our server Bianca just made the night. She washelpful, upbeat, and simply wonderful. Oh and they have a legit happy hour as well. Read more
Fab brunch in the old Fire Station in Alexandria. Bit pricey but the food is delicious. Highly recommend the hash. Good... bottomless coffee too. We turned up without a reservation, but most other good places in town you needed to book. Fab selectionof beers too. Read more
The restaurant is tucked on quiet street in Old Town. The atmosphere is unique in that each space creates a different ambiance... and feeling. The room we dined in had low romantic lightning and brick walls that they gave the feel of historical nostalgia.The menu is limited in choices, we kept flipping it over thinking there were more options. However, hubby and I really enjoyedour food. Order the steak frites and cast iron shrimp with a side of spinach. The pork ribs are tasteful but come hungry becausethe portion is a nice size. Some at the table said their meal could benefit from a little more seasoning but overall everyonewas pleased. Just be sure not to go over board on the honey biscuits, they were absolutely delicious. I am married to a beerlover and he was impressed with the selection of craft beers. We will definitely be going back for a beer and quickbite. @fallyns_foodie_excursions #fallynsfoodieexcursions #columbiafirehouse Read more
Fun atmosphere and delicious food. Make sure to ask to sit in the enclosed patio, and enjoy the exposed brick walls and old... decor. The prices are on the pricier side, but the food was great. Definitely get the melted jack cheese as an appetizer. Read more
We visited this place late on a Sunday, they had the bar menu available for food. Great variety of drinks; we ordered the... Firehouse burger which came with cheese, bacon, garlic aioli and BLT, it was a decent burger specially for a late night menu, itdidn't have a lot of flavor but it wasn't bad. The service was great and order came out fast. Read more
