Blondie’s Firehouse Pub & Restaurant

Food is good, but limited menu and were out of rhree items i asked for. They were slso out of Cabernet at 5 pm fri nite.
Waitresx daid they. Werd changing menu.

A friend’s bday party ended up here for late night karaōke. Fun place with a cast of characters. All around good place. We will be back.

This place has really turned around. They offer amazing nightly specials now and each one is amazing. $ 6 all you can eat wings in Monday’s and Fridays, $ 6 all you can drink beer, and $ 6 all you can eat tacos, etc. they often seem understaffed but they do a great job keeping up. We love near by and will definitely be back!

Maybe my mistake was coming here to eat, but I did not enjoy the experience. Nothing seemed fresh or «homemade» as many of the items were advertised. If someone suggested eating there again, I’d go willingly. I would never take myself there again with it being my idea, though.

Seems like a good bar, but we went for lunch. Bad idea, the food sucks. Prepare for long hours in the bathroom if you do decide to eat the food without being blacked out!

Karaōke! I think yes! Or at least it’s fun to watch and listen! Stopped in for a quick bite. Inexpensive bar food and drink specials every night makes for a good stop when we are in the neighborhood!

Food is good, but it’s a dive bar! Go in for the drinks. Free pool on Sundays, not sure about the rest of the week. Give the bartenders a chance, they have to deal with a lot of people! Some nice and some not!

Their lunch specials are priced great and you get a large amount of food. The service is awesome and the beers are always cold. What more can you ask for?

Best bar in Englewood, staff is awesome couldn’t ask for a better Tuesday night!!! Fires are the Jam!!! Tracy and Sam know how to party, best tunes around!!! Don’t forget to take a dip in the fountain!

If you end up with the male bartender in flip flops, leave. Useless, and more focused on talking to women than doing his job. Might as well have a self serve bar.

What a dump without a doubt the worst bar in Englewood. Dirty and run down, it seems it of place for this development

God there is so much to HATE about this place. Awful, rude service. The «owner» says he doesn’t care and talk crap about patrons who complain. who have a lot to complain about. They do last call on weekends at 1:20.and demand to take your drink at 1:35. Too bad. There is so much business to be had but they won’t get it because everyone I know hates this bar and the owner doesn’t care! Hope they go out of business soon and a good local bar goes up in their place! Good riddance!

I recently moved into the apartment complex on the other side of Hampden & Santa Fe, and was hoping this would be a good «hole in the wall» type of place to grab an easy drink. Wrong! I will not be back…
The music was so bad and loud that my friend and I couldn’t hear each other talk. At 10pm on a Thursday, with initially 9 people in the bar– this made no sense to me. The crowd was rough, ghetto, loud, and obnoxious… And apparently a lot of them regulars as the bartender was more interested in talking to them or the other bartender than helping us. We also saw lots of homeless looking people come in with backpacks, etc. just to use the bathroom and then leave. The place is dirty and not well kept.
I’m giving it 2 stars because yes– drinks are cheap… Although a draft domestic beer and a vodka soda was $ 6 at 10, and then $ 8.50 at 11:30, With no explanation as to why, and HH was only 4 – 7.

Food was awful. Drinks were weak. One extra star for prices being cheap.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and give this place four stars. After reading others’ reviews I was a bit hesitant to even try out the place but I am glad we did.
We just moved into the apartments right across the parking lot to Blondie’s. So not only is it super convenient, but its actually a pretty decent place. We’ve been twice and had a good time both times. The first time was just for one drink and an appetizer. And the second was a saturday night, with some friends. We got the chicken fingers, which were decent, fries too. I would most likely order them again.
Now I am not sure if they do this every night, but the first drink was only .50! They have happy hour specials every day, and every night they have a different theme. Karaōke can also be found here.
Considering we live right across the parking lot, this is definitely going to be on our regular spots list!

HORRIBLE SERVICE! Supposedly they close at 2a.m. BUT they decided that 1:30 was the time to PULL ALL drinks and tell you to leave while being very rude about it. I thought this was a bar, my bad.
I’m sorry, but I have worked in the restaurant industry for many years and it is never okay to tell a customer to leave a half hour early just because you feel like it. at least let me finish my drink that I just ordered and stick to the «legal laws» meaning that I have until 2a.m. to finish my drink.
Also, I and many other people I’ve talked to that live the apartments that are right across the street, will never go back because the service and people that work there are SOOOOOO HORRIBLE!
We want to like this place because it is in walking distance HOWEVER, the people that work there could give a sh** less about you and YOUR business.
It’s so sad to say, but I honestly hope they go out of business so somebody else has the opportunity to make this a GREAT place to eat & drink at with at least normal to great service.

I love this place and it is my favorite location to catch a game. The staff is friendly, but not bubbly or fake, the food is good yet inexpensive, and the crowd that is usually in there is a good one.
A solid business and I have never not enjoyed myself when I go in there. They know how to treat people who come in to watch games (we are there for 3+ hours, after all) and I’ve never had a problem.

I went to Blondies with some friends who happen to live in the area, and it was close so we could take a cab. It was a Friday night and it was busy, but not slammed. We sat down at a table which was open and the bouncer/​security guard told us that we had a server who would be over to take drink orders. No server ever comes by so we go to the bar to get drinks. Ten minutes later, we finally get served. Drinks weren’t outrageous, but not cheap either. The atmosphere here is alright, there’s a cheeesy DJ who plays top 40 music and some pool tables, plus a patio to go outside and smoke. I’m not sure how this got categorized as a «dance club».
When I wanted another drink is when all the trouble started. I knew I would never get a server’s attention, despite sitting at a table with a completely empty drink, so I went to the bar. I was standing next to two other women and after being blatantly ignored a handful of times, they informed me not to hold my breath, these bartenders make men their priority. I see a girl who is obviously a server, and ask her if she is indeed a server and she replies with «Yeah, I’ll get to you», turns her back to me and WAVES ME OFF with her hand like I was a mosquito.
I abandoned the idea of another drink and high tailed it out of there. Who works in a restaurant and doesn’t want to serve guests — i.e. doesn’t want to be tipped?! Can’t wrap my mind around that one.
The only reason I don’t give this a single star is I had been here another time with a friend and the service was fine, granted it was 4:00 on a Tuesday.

This place was absolutely awful. I would recommend you avoid it! A group of us went in on a Thursday afternoon and the only acknowledgement we received was a really snooty waitress whom asked to see our ids– not even a hello. She proceeded to glance at our ids and walked away as my friend was in midsentence of asking her a question. My other friend decided to just head to the bar and watched as the bartender served him beer in a dirty glass. I usually give servers more credit as I once was one, but the bar was relatively calm and there wasn’t much going on to justify the terrible service.
Neighborhood bars should be friendly and comfortable, this place was neither.

Tacos are now .75 on Tuesday
