Firehouse B & Bistro

This was the idea that started it all, the dream of converting a small town texas firehouse into a Bed and Breakfast accommodation for historic Floresville, Texas. It wasn't easy, but we had a good sturdy structure to work with and enough room to create the environment we were after. The result, we think, is somewhat unique, especially to South Texas. Each of our three suites, The Lieutenant's Quarters, The Fire Marshal, and the Fire Chief, has its own distinct personality making them "fan favorites" to different people for different reasons.

A stay at the B & B also provides you with full access to all the Firehouse B & Bistro has to offer: gourmet coffee creations each day through early afternoon, and the charm of the Bistro and patio deck on warm, pleasant evenings. Come see us, you won't be sorry.

Morning, noon or in between, we've got just the thing for you. Ease into the day with a latte, cappuccino, or espresso in a variety of flavors, or just a good old cup of coffee. Smooth, rich, imported roasted italian coffee, beans fresh ground just before you drink it and all at small town, not Starbucks, prices. Add a scone or a muffin, and you have the perfect combination. If you don't have time to relax today, stop by for one of our java creations to go, then come back when you have more time. Also, ask us about our sandwiches and other tasty lunch entrees.

We gave it equal name billing with the bed and breakfast for a good reason. When the renovation began, it wasn't clear how this room would turn out. But, Belinda and our builder worked some magic, and voila! Polished, acidized cement floors set off wrought iron tables, colorful lighting, our Firehouse theme wall mural and Floresville's best selection of wines, imported beers and tasty snacks. The result is a cozy, yet cheerful environment that's hard to describe until you're there and see it. This is co-owner Joe Harrison's favorite room, and the perfect place for an evening of relaxation, both inside and out (on the adjacent patio deck). Come by for a drink and see if you agree with Joe.

Wow! This room stunned us the first time we saw it. Fifteen hundred square feet, lit by day through 8 of the large windows that this building has throughout, plus original hardwood floors, now newly refinished and gleaming. We also added crystal chandeliers and a refrigerated wet bar. The rest is up to you and your event planning imagination.

The Ballroom is perfect for private parties, receptions, group meetings (and of course we can cater!), anniversaries, birthdays, and some other events we haven't even thought of, but you will. This is truly an elegant atmosphere for any special occasion.
