In Short – The Fire almost feels like your friend's basement, if your friend had the space and the wherewithal to invite chill bands over to perform for the benefit of a bunch of friends drinking beer and Jack n' Coke poured by a mellow bartender. Signs plaster the walls advertising liberal political candidates and politically correct causes, and hand-painted artwork makes one ask if they are, in fact, at a coffeeshop instead of a grungy yet friendly bar.

Corner Bar Feel
by rdefinite
This is the place when I'm a grizzled ol' timer I'll sit and reminisce. Or I'll do that now. Perfect place to sit back and have a pint with your friend, while not paying to see whatever band's on (though still catching them on the TV's overhead). Crowded at times, but not to the point where you can't stand. Beer selection is ehh, but you can find at least something you like. Or just drink Scotch and start fights. Plus I'm always up for places that put twinkly holiday lights over the bar.
- Pros: Twinkly lights over bar, being able to catch acts on the TV
- Cons: Typical beer selection
