One of the best places to eat and drink I have ever found!
We wandered in here out of pure curiosity and have been here every night since.
Jeff is the owner and head bartender. He makes the best cocktails I’ve ever had. We started off with a new take on an Old Fashioned and went from there. A master of mixology, Jeff is able to make up drinks on the spot.
They also have a phenomenal kitchen staff. The chili was the best I’ve ever had (don’t tell my mom) and the Fire House burger and Firehouse Fires are both world class. You will not find a better burger for less than twice the cost anywhere.
Make sure you stop by and check this place out, wether visiting or if your a local looking for a new spot.
The Old Firehouse is sure to be your new favorite spot.

I’ve always wanted to try absinthe and I finally did. Great drink. My husband tried a negrotini with a wonderful maraschino cherry. Sandwiches were an unusual take on a basic sandwich. I’d definitely return if I came back to Vancouver Island.

That such a great location like this exists in Duncan, of all places, pleases me to no end. Top-​notch wine selection, brilliantly crafted food, and our very own, local addition to the growing Cocktail Revolution.
I’ve been in bars in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Vancouver, Victoria, and have enjoyed world-​class drinks in all locations. I can honestly say that The Old Firehouse stands shoulder to shoulder with the best of them.
Right down to the wine-​flights, tapas menu, Somalia offering advice and recommendations, glass-​wear, plating, and aesthetic – paying homage to the historic firehouse – I cannot over recommend the Old Firehouse Wine Bar.

Duncan’s «real town»…not the strip mall/​big box presence of the Island Highway… continues to evolve into a very pleasing specialty shopping area. A new addition is the wine bar at this location… add it to your list of things to experience & to appreciate in «downtown Duncan»! Say hello to hosts Jeff & Alanah Downie. Welcome!
