Washington Firehouse turns historic building into Bloomingdale restaurant
D.C.'s Bloomingdale neighborhood will see new life breathed into a long-shuttered historic fire station when the massive Washington Firehouse restaurant and event space opens next month.
We mentioned the spot last week, and now we have more details: The 10,000-square-foot restaurant and catering venue covers three floors, including a “Captain’s Loft” overlooking a second-floor ballroom, a VIP lounge on the top floor and a ground floor bar and dining room complete with a replica fireman’s pole.
The space also has a patio with an expected seating capacity of 80; together with the outdoor seating, Washington Firehouse could seat approximately 300.

The pizzas — as well as several lasagnas, including a vegetarian option and a “super-decadent” lobster lasagne — will be made in a huge copper oven the chef is particularly excited about, he said this week.

The restaurant plans to hold a soft opening in mid-August, with a grand opening in early September. And it won’t be the last spot for the restaurant group, Historic Restaurants Inc., Sabet said. The company owns two other large buildings in “prime locations” around the District that will eventually be converted to restaurants — though he’s keeping mum on the details for now.

The event business will be a big part of the equation, Sabet said.
“Washington Firehouse is first an events place, then a restaurant and then a lounge,” he said. “We’re not going to have DJ’s … that brings in rowdy people and leads to fights.”
Why is this restaurant, which hasn't even opened yet getting 2 WBJ articles? Is that normal?
