How do you get into The Firehouse?
We have not confirmed it. The Firehouse is in the directory because it calls itself a speakeasy, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.
The drinks at The Firehouse
How the venue describes itself: “A house of independent hospitality companies for weddings, events, mobile dining, abundant tables and mixology across Wisconsin.” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)
Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: Jack Rose, Diamondback, and Brown Derby are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Wisconsin
Wisconsin came under national prohibition on 17 January 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment took effect and the Volstead Act defined an intoxicating beverage as anything above one half of one per cent alcohol — a threshold strict enough to close breweries that had expected to survive.
