Overview of Parra Firehouse

It’s of little surprise that the Firehouse Restaurant and Bar in Parramatta is all about fire. Think flaming-hot pizzas, sizzling tapas, smoking pasta dishes and bartenders that will ‘light your fire’ – you’ll be in need of a cold drink just to extinguish the flame.

Dine alfresco on the scenic terrace or relax with friends in the spacious lounge as you watch the chefs cook up a storm in the kitchen.

The stylish venue is a great place to meet friends for a drink, dine with the family or celebrate a special occasion.

Visit on Friday and Saturday nights from 8pm to take full advantage of their live entertainment and tempting $10 cocktails.

Located in the Parra Leagues Club on level 3 with indoor and Balcony seating; this restaurant has great ambience, new furniture, nice decor, hip music...

Food: not a large menu, mostly italian/spanish dishes with Tapas, Pasta, and Risotto... the meat ball was good, but the Tortellini Basciolla was perfect; pear & wallnut salad was average.

Value: Great Value with Mains around $15... the meat ball tapas was a shocker, simply 5 meat balls in a small dish; I had to ask the waitress if something was missing and requested they bring some bread for dipping.

I've been to Parra Firehouse about ten times since it has opened as I live very close by and also like to have a slap on the pokies every now and then.

The food is quite nice. We usually share tapas and have been very happy with all of them except the lamb which has been chewy and uninviting. Friends and family have had mains and pizzas there and have been quite happy with the taste and serving sizes. We always sit outside in a booth as we're all Eels members and love looking out over the stadium dreaming about the beginning of the season. (There are also screens outside showing various sports with no volume to distract you). Inside is also a beautiful area.

The staff have always been very friendly and capable except for about a week ago when one female staff member was very slow at the bar and also forgot to bring us our cutlery. I'm pretty sure she was in training as I'd never seen her before and it was a quiet lunch session. The asian woman at the bar is delightful, gorgeous and recognises and acknowledges me every time I'm there.

Prices. Well it certainly is not priced as well as other restaurants in the area. Tapas are a bit pricey if you're a big eater (which I am not) and other menu items are slightly above average for Parra. Be aware that there is no full table service, you order at the bar which is fine with me. If you're going on a Friday night make a booking. If you're going on a Saturday night make a booking Early. It can fill up fast and later bookings are hard to get as live music kicks in at about 9 - which we love!

I've been very happy with Firehouse so far and will continue to invite friends and family to join me for a meal. It's not fine dining but it's a great friends/family place to chow down! Also, the refurbished "League Legends" bar area downstairs is great for an after dinner cocktail with sexy booths, outdoor area and sports on a big screen. Enjoy. Parramatta Eels 2012!

Had dinner here recently, food was good, fresh, though felt that it was missing something - alittle bland in some areas. Has Good atmosphere, nice and relaxed, really liked whats been done, looks really modern and stylish. Service is friendly and we were checked on regularly. Prices are reasonable Overall a good nite.

Went the weekend with 3 of my friends. We had a mix of pizza, salads, tapas and pastas on the recommendation of the waitress - who was very friendly and helpful may I add! The food came out and we were happy from start to finish! The pizza was sensational and the linguini firehoue (a pasta) is to die for. All the customers were having a good time and even though it was busy the staff gave every table individual attention. We finished the night with a few cocktails and listened to the band!

My overall experience of Parra Firehouse was superb. I came here with a group of friends and we enjoyed the beautifully cooked food, we had calamari which was very moorish, arnacini was just sensational, roast pumpkin, baby spinach & pine nut salad was just delicious, lamb souvlaki was very tender, haloumi cheese was nicely cook, the risotto was perfectly cooked and the pizza was sensational. We were all very full however we just had to try the tiramisu for dessert and it was just beautiful. Can’t wait to return!

Typical parra service, which made the visit less than happy. They obviously spent a lot of money doing it up and this is reflected in the high prices.
Still prefer Church St and would not bother going again.

The renovation is nice but its half of the sterlo bar in size the beer cost more in the firehouse bar compared to down stairs at the club the pizzas are really nice but not that filling and the lamb is horibble especially the mayo that comes with it, it is slightly over priced for a leagues club it should be cheaper.

Went to the firehouse for the first time last night on a recommendation by a friend. It was relaxed and comfortable. Shared an entree of bruschetta, seafood skewers and gnocchi outstanding!). For mains we had, Pizza (very good) spaghetti marinara (very good) risotto (excellent!). Too full for coffee or dessert. The staff were friendly, helpful and approachable, good stuff! Would go again but will book a seat on the balcony.
