Fire Station makes a name for itself with drinks and pizza
During my four years at UI, I have seen many restaurants come and go. With a revolving door of eateries and bars, what separates the goners from the go-to’s? Simply put: allure. The new pizzeria and bar Fire Station has just that.
Located on the corner on John Street between Fifth and Sixth, Fire Station opened its doors to campus in February. It offers a variety of tasty dishes and delectable drinks. The business is a small chain based out of Pekin, Ill., known as Firehouse. The name was changed due to the confusion that would inevitably ensue with Firehaus located right around the corner. As of now, the chain has only just infiltrated the collegiate market, starting at UI and Illinois State University.

The most unique feature of Fire Station is its state-of-the-art liquor system. You may be wondering why certain bottles are mounted on the wall behind the bar top. Each bottle is rigged to a dispenser that a bartender uses to pour your drink. Regardless of how long they hold the button, each drink will get exactly 1.5 ounces of liquor.
“No watered down drinks here — you get what you pay for,” Fries said.
