Explore how The Firehouse Enniskillen pairs perfectly with Northern Ireland’s distillery tours and spirit events this October.
Pairing Firehouse’s Rich Flavours with Northern Ireland’s Distillery Events This October
October in Northern Ireland brings more than just autumn leaves and Halloween celebrations. It’s also the season of spirited gatherings, with distillery tours, gin tastings, and whiskey walks popping up across the region. Nestled in the heart of Enniskillen, The Firehouse Bar & Grill is the perfect culinary companion to these events—offering bold, fire-grilled flavours that elevate every sip.
Whether you’re touring the Boatyard Distillery, joining a Bushmills tasting, or exploring the Fermanagh Spirits Trail, make The Firehouse your flavour-filled stop before or after.
Where Spirits Meet Seasonal Plates
Enniskillen’s local distilleries bring innovation and tradition together, and The Firehouse does the same with food. Our chefs work with autumn ingredients and flame-grilled technique to match the depth and warmth of Northern Irish spirits.
Start your meal with Maple Glazed Pork Belly, a dish whose sweet-savoury blend echoes the caramel notes in a fine aged whiskey. Or go for Skillet Prawns with garlic, chilli, and dipping bread—ideal with a crisp local gin and tonic.

Crafted Cocktails & Local Spirits
We don’t just serve spirits—we celebrate them. The Firehouse cocktail list is stacked with Boatyard Distillery favourites, infused with fruits, herbs, and seasonal creativity. Try the Cherry Bakewell, made with Boatyard Sloe Gin, or the tropical-tinged Pina Colada made from Boatyard Old Tom.
For a refined twist, sip the Perfect Lady, with peach and Boatyard Gin, or enjoy the crowd-pleasing East 8 Hold Up that features vodka, Aperol, and citrus. Not drinking? Our mocktails bring the same punchy flavours without the ABV.

The Perfect Pairings: Pizza & Pours
There’s something comfortingly simple about a fire-grilled pizza with a well-matched drink. For example:
- The Notorious P.I.G. Pizza, rich with pork belly and bacon, pairs beautifully with a spiced rum.
- Our Wild Atlantic Way Pizza, topped with king prawns and garlic aioli, shines beside a citrus-forward gin cocktail.
- The Hey Pesto Pizza, with goats cheese and onion marmalade, complements a dry white wine or elderflower spritz.
With woodfired flavour and thoughtful toppings, our pizza menu is designed to bring out the best in your beverage.
