Courtyard Opens April 13

Guests to Receive Complimentary Sparkling Wine*

SACRAMENTO, CA – Sacramento’s favorite courtyard opens for lunch April 13. The opening of the elegant, tree-canopied, brick courtyard has traditionally served as a sign that Spring has arrived in Sacramento.

On April 13, guests (* 21 years of age and older) will be offered a complimentary glass of sparkling wine with their lunch, and from April 9 – 13, a complimentary dessert will be served when another dessert of equal value is purchased with lunch.

For more than forty years, The Firehouse Courtyard has been a top choice for weddings, fundraisers, and parties, as well as a favorite destination for outdoor dining. Voted “Best Outdoor Dining” and “Best Special Occasion Dining” by the subscribers of Sacramento Magazine in 2006, The Firehouse Courtyard combines a New Orleans-style outdoor setting with award-winning cuisine and a world-class wine list to create the perfect outdoor dining experience.

The Firehouse is open for lunch Sunday- Friday from 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

The Firehouse is located in Old Sacramento at 1112 Second Street. Valet parking is available.
