Our Story
IT'S NOT JUST A BAR.. IT'S A COMMUNITY
The FirePlace is a little piece of history in the corner of Lake Fenton.
We are right on Barnum Lake, giving our customers a scenic view while they enjoy a long list of beers, wines, & specialty drinks that go along with our robust menu.
The history of our bar goes way back & we aren't done making history yet!
We've made it through a pandemic, several mandated closures, even outdoor winter dining.
Thankfully our customers & travelers were brave enough to take on the cold & keep us going.
For that, we thank our customers & community.
