While the historic building that houses Firestone's looks pretty much like a number of other ones that surround it in Frederick's historic center, it assumes a prominent character inside thanks to some smart retaining and reworking on the interiors. Original exposed brick walls blending in with the rich wood paneling and accents make for an extremely elegant atmosphere inside. Ornate lamps and a warm lighting overall accentuate atmosphere. Executive chef Jack Walker presents a menu of familiar looking American favorites with his own flavorful twists for a satisfying experience. The seemingly endless bar at Firestone's boasts of a drinks selection as large, and is an extremely popular affair not just to hang out with friends, but also to make new ones. Choose from a selection of no less than 80 beers spanning the globe and a superb wine list that has won accolades from Wine Spectator. Swing by during the popular happy hours for some great deals. Garnering rave reviews and a number of awards since its inception, Firestone's is easily one of the city's favorites.
