Firehall Arts Centre

A great community space run by great community members. Definitely worth supporting any events here!

Wonderful little theater! I had no idea this location existed until we saw our friend perform at a comedy show recently. I really enjoyed the space (nice little bar, decent sized theater), especially the outdoor lounge area. Can't wait to see another show here!

Great place to see local shows, seating is perfect to see the stage no matter where you sit, Saw Fado there, and it was a very enjoyable experience!

I've been here to see a couple shows now and it's always a good time! Super nice and friendly staff, nice atmosphere, decent little bar, and the patio is a nice place to be if even just for a cup of coffee before the show. Small bathrooms but private and clean, also trans-friendly. Ticket prices were a little cheaper for those under 30, which doesn't apply to me but I still think it's cool that they're try to get young people in there to appreciate the arts. By the way, if you're reading this review and contemplating seeing Chelsea Hotel I have to strongly urge you to stop considering and go see it. I LOVED it, the music and the performers were amazing. The downside is definitely the neighborhood, try not to park down here of you can avoid it. That said, I used the Rice World parking lot (and there were even some drug users in the lot when I parked) and it was completely fine, and at an affordable price. This kind of neighborhood doesn't bother me very much personally but it can be off-putting for some people. Also limited options for food in the area. But hey, creative areas of a city don't tend to be the expensive, gentrified ones. I have to give it 5 stars, I absolutely will go again.

We attended a Small Town Artillery matinee show here on the labour day weekend. They are following all covid procedures and made us feel welcome and safe. It was outside in the courtyard and tables were arranged in 2s with a couple of picnic tables for groups of four. Masks were worn in inside spaces and outside it was optional so long as we were seated and maintaining 6ft. distances. It is a beautiful venue and we had such a great time. I highly recommend seeing a show there!

Lovely show. The singing was heartfelt, the musicians were great, the story showed the struggles of people who emigrate and never really feel completely at home in the adopted country nor their country of origin. It was a nice evening and a wonderful way to understand what Fado is.

Love going here. Beautiful, historic, inclusive and great stage shows ❤

What a cool space. Classic Vancouver venue. Lots of meter street parking. Washrooms downstairs are non-binary and trans friendly. Check out the pipeline project if it's still running when you read this.

Beautiful venue for performance. My only criticism is that the washrooms are split between two levels- not ideal for those with mobility issues.
