Painting the Picture
Picture this: You’ve had a busy day but you’ve got tickets to the game tonight. You’re pumped. And you’re hungry. You don’t want to wait and eat at the game; you’d rather sit and relax and enjoy the view. But you don’t have hours to kill before the game. You’ve got a little time, a huge appetite and not a lot of choices. Consider checking out the Fireside Restaurant. It’s right across the street from Northlands Coliseum and Rexall Place; the food is great, the atmosphere quiet and calm. It’s a perfect place to grab a great meal before heading off to a sporting event or show.

Steak and Then Some
Fireside Restaurant prides itself on making a great steak with all the trimmings. But if you’re looking for something a little lighter, Fireside also offers a menu full of choices: appetizers that range from soups and salads to finger foods, sandwiches, pasta, burgers and fries. Many patrons seem to enjoy the closed Denver sandwich with potato salad (fries and onion rings are other side options for sandwiches and burgers). Whatever you’re craving, chances are good it’s on the menu.

Strategic Surroundings
Because of the proximity to Rexall Place and Northlands Coliseum, Fireside is a popular place when there are events such as Canadian Finals Rodeo, hockey games or concerts. The restaurant has a great reputation, so it’s a good idea to make a reservation if you know you’re going to be in the area and wanting a great meal.
