About Engine Company No. 3

Make your event a truly unique experience with a piece of Milwaukee history in our beautifully renovated Cream City brick firehouse. Whether you are looking for a venue for a business meeting, holiday party, wedding reception, rehearsal dinner or birthday party, we can accommodate your special event! Serving La Merenda’s seasonal, farm-to-table menu, we are known best for our family style tapas dinners and cocktail style parties. We also offer daytime family style brunches at both locations. Engine Company No. 3 closes to the public at 2pm each day, so all private evening events are able to utilize the entire building. There are two floors of dining options, plus a brand new patio that may be used as additional space for cocktails and appetizers (weather permitting). The first floor and the second floor both have full bars. Please note: our second floor is only accessible via stairs.

Recommendations

Great place to have your wedding! - An Eventective User from Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I couldn’t have asked for anything more from Deanna and her team at Engine Company No.3. They all did a phenomenal job, to say the least. Everything from my decorations to the service was absolutely fantastic! I absolutely recommend this venue for any occasion. Thanks again Deanna!

50Th Birthday Party - An Eventective User

50th Birthday celebration, , we did an after hour drinks party. Katelyn and the staff were amazing on making sure everything run smoothly. The light appetizers was passed on trays assuring everything was warm and served fresh. We were able to bring a band and our own cake which they cut and serve as well. A Bar menu with my husband's name and votives on the high tables were a great touch. Thanks for everything!
