Firehouse Tavern — Restaurant in Wildwood

We came here after many people told us that this was a good place to go in Wildwood….. But immediately we were treated with Cold shoulders From not only the staff, but the clientele… It was almost awkward to sit down because we felt almost unwelcome like we weren’t regulars… Either way, we decide to sit down, guy IDs me… Takes my ID outside, hand it to a random man. The random man comes inside and hand me the ID back over my shoulder with a cold blank stare, mind you I’m 25 years old & with my mom… being carded isn’t the issue, it’s the awkwardness of the entire situation, He didn’t even talk to me or say here’s your ID back. He just hands me the ID over the shoulder and I see my ID in my face and I’m like oh??? Then he walks away and we continue to sit there without service, while the initial guy that we spoke to and carded us, Turns his back on us and talks to Friends across the bar and doesn’t ask us if we want something to drink then… when the door opens again and a group of kids walks in, he puts coasters out in front of them and says hey, how are you doing guys do you want something to drink almost like he knows them? The second bartender walks past during the interaction goes to the other people that just walked in also without a glance, looking at us and also goes to cater to them…mind you we still are sitting with no acknowledgment or service.

We got up and it almost felt like they were snickered at …like yeah you better leave… it was uncomfortable and we won’t come back, so disappointing that firefighters that we wanted to support treated us like trash, if you guys wanna be private bar/club then make it a private club because that’s what it feels like. We always heard good things about this place, and it was owned and ran by local firefighters, and we came here to support that and felt completely unwelcome like we...

Me and my boyfriend loved this placed, as soon as we walked in, someone noticed us and came up asking for our ID’s and greeted us with a smile. It is cash only but they have an ATM available which is nice. After finding a seat, we asked for a sweet drink as I just turned 21 and don’t really know the different types of drinks and I like sweeter drinks, the bartender was quick to make a something I’d like. It had a light coconut taste which was perfect and so good. we’re from out of town and I would definitely come back given the opportunity, the drinks were great and the service was beyond amazing! The people are so friendly as well, if you’re visiting or from the area and looking for a place for good drinks and great customer service, this...

I had a terrible experience at firehouse last night. I ordered a few drinks, but things went downhill fast when the bartender took extra money from me, clearly thinking I was too drunk to notice. After I paid him cash I realized I had been overcharged and when I confronted the bartender about it, they brushed me off and acted like it was no big deal.

It’s unacceptable to treat customers like this, and it felt like they were taking advantage of the situation. I’ve never experienced something like this at any bar, and it completely ruined my night. I won’t be coming back, and I’d warn others to be careful with their money here. Very unprofessional...
