The Fireside Lounge is a neighborhood bar in Alameda, CA dedicated to creating a warm and inviting space for our community.  We do this by hosting free live music events, a weekly trivia game, and a weekly singer/songwriter open mic.  Our cocktail menu features local and domestically distilled spirits and our taps are filled with California craft beers.  Featuring the work of local, emerging artists on our walls rounds out the experience for our customers. 

The Fireside was opened in 1942, and the original back bar and neon sign are still prominent fixtures.  Today, The Fireside is owned and operated by The Three Sirens- three friends who have worked together in the beverage service industry, combining over 70 years experience. When we opened doors in 2011 we found a community hungry for a friendly, neighborhood environment, a well crafted cocktail, and a place to showcase the music and art of the local talent.  We have been striving to fill this niche with some success given somewhat limited resources.  The building was built in 1938, and needs some significant upgrades in order for us to create the truly vibrant music and art lounge that we –and the community- would like to have on Webster Street.  Starting with the electrical system. 

We believe in compensating the musicians who play at our venue.  We share our profits with musicians on nights that they play. We recently installed a small stage for musicians to perform on.  We would love to give them proper lighting and a better sound system, which would help draw a larger audience for the bands and for The Fireside.  All of this requires upgraded electrical circuitry.  As does better lighting on the walls for our artwork by local artists.  In fact, the whole place really needs to be rewired. 

This is where YOU come in. 
We need your help to accomplish this. 

Our entire business model is built around  supporting smaller companies close to home.  Our Signature Cocktail menu showcases Alameda's own St. George Spirits.  Our wines are by Alameda's own Blacksmith Cellars.  Our draught beers are all from Northern California craft breweries.  We believe in investing in small, independent companies with passion and vision. 

We hope you do too. 

If you are unable to contribute financially, You can still help us by spreading the word.  Talk to people about our campaign.  Share the campaign on Facebook, or Twitter, or your blog, or any way you can think of to help us get the word out.
