OUR HISTORY

A piece of Coronado Island history, thoughtfully reimagined.

Built in 1892, the Coronado Fire Station is a treasured piece of local history. Carefully restored to preserve its original character while introducing modern amenities, the landmark has now been transformed into a private event venue where history, elegance, and exceptional events come together.

The Bridge Speakeasy

A Hidden Gem Within the Coronado Fire Station Venue

Included with every venue rental, our hidden speakeasy offers a one-of-a-kind retreat. Whether used as a private groom's suite before the festivities begin, a cozy hideaway for guests to enjoy a specialty cocktail, or an intimate space for quieter conversations throughout the evening, it's a memorable feature your guests won't forget.

The venue itself is inviting, modern, and a great size for a reception.

“Highly recommend the Coronado Fire Station Venue after recently hosting a military reception there- this place needs to be on your list of venue possibilities as the space, the food, the drink, and the quality of service was amazing!

Looking back on the evening, I received multiple comments about how I ‘went all out’ with the venue, food, and drinks. Everyone had a great time, and ultimately that is what a host looks for when looking for a way to celebrate a milestone.”
