O'Leary's Firehouse Bar & Grill

The building at 30 East Mellen Street has stood in the heart of Hampton, Virginia for over a century... The story goes that in the early 1900s, this stretch of Mellen Street ran hot with the clang of volunteer fire companies, men who'd drop everything at the sound of a bell and come back starving. The tradition of cooking big, feeding your crew, and not cutting corners — that started right here.
