There is less street parking around the area but there are 82 free covered parking spots in the public garage of state street station right across the street. The members of the Lions Club are local to the area and very friendly. They host fundraisers throughout the year that benefit local charities. You can rent the entire building for only $300. I have seen lots of weddings and parties there over the years. It's a nice place to rent.

The event venue in the historic firehouse is lovely for medium size gathers. The sound in the engine bay travels very well but is not echoing that one would think in a concert area. There are bridal areas for both the bride and the groom to get ready separately. Though parking is limited, the use of both area hotel shuttles and the story hill's trolley made guest transportation easy. Plus for those guests the should not drive after parting ensures they are back safely to their hotels. Every person the story hill' found or recommended to support our event was fantastic to include the decorations, DJ, wait staff, trolly driver, bar tenders and event manger. Thank you everyone for helping make our event memorable.

I've been here on a couple different occasions…read more First, during Doors Open Milwaukee, to check out this historic Firehouse. And, the second time was during their recent holiday market. The Story Hill Firehouse is a historical firehouse that's been repurposed as an event space. It's all exposed-brick-charming with some outdoor space as well. I'm not exactly sure of the capacity but would say it's an ideal event space for small to mid-sized events. There's some fun historical items throughout the space which makes for an interesting and unique experience. They've done a good job at creating an enchanting events space. For the holiday market, they were able to put several vendors throughout the indoor space (including utilizing their indoor events bar area) as well several outside. They maximized the space and with their roll up garage/fire truck style door (making moving between indoor and outdoor spaces a breeze), it worked wonderfully for the market. I know they have a few events throughout the year. I believe last New Year's they had a 1920's/prohibition themed NYE party. A wonderfully charming event space on the outskirts of the Story Hill neighborhood that would be the ideal spot for weddings, receptions, or really any event you can imagine.

There is a full service bar and kitchen which offers a variety of pizzas, nachos, and other odds and ends. There's also pull tabs and an ATM. The space is available for both kids and adult parties, as well as corporate events and fundraisers. Adult parties, depending on size, run from $250-$760. Kids parties from $195-$500. Food and drinks were basic but good. The space is rather rudimentary, and on really cold winter days gets a bit chilly. Still, the open spaces are well organized and set up. A nice place for friends and families to spend time being active inside when being outside is not an option.

The Gage needs to make sure that food is piping hot for the Bride & Groom down to the last guest.... my son & new daughter in law should have had the perfect day and not have people commenting about warm food and long lines to get a drink...

The venue is a beautiful open space, with high ceiling and a bar area. You can set up a dance floor, buffet, and tables to your liking, but the space is quite large, so plenty of room for your inspirations. Bathrooms are specking clean, totally classy. There are 2 waiting/powder rooms, beautiful and decked out with mirrors and chairs. The high ceilings create beautiful acoustics with the band playing. Just charming. Lighting is warm and bright, inviting but not glaring. You could dress the place up or down to your liking, and there are lots that your imagination would love to play with here. I didn't check on the price for renting the space, but I'm sure they are pretty reasonable.

Worst experience. Made a reservation on their website for 5:30pm on a Saturday. As it is a holiday…read moreweekend, we scheduled in advance. When we arrived, there was a long line of people waiting for service at the front counter. A mountain of shoes have accumulated on the counter, presumably due to no one being assigned to man the desk. We did not see anyone come to the front for 30 minutes! When someone did come out, we were told there were no lanes available at all and the kitchen was closed because they were backed up. So... what was the point of making a reservation?! The icing on the cake was hearing the manager/supervisor say out loud to an employee clocking in (when someone finally did show up) that there was a $10,000 large party about to show up where he would rather focus their attention. Aren't all paying customers valued? The staff was clearly flustered and overwhelmed. Their attempts to pacify the clearly agitated crowd was filled with attitude. I felt like we were inconveniencing them. Maybe close off reservations on your website next time, or position staff better. Leaving the front unattended for that long is ridiculous. Wish it was a better experience cause the place looked really nice.

Our party offered free beer and soda with a cash bar. Drinks were reasonable but just ok. Food was served buffet style.

Servers were attentive and picking up the dirty plates as fast as they came Hall space was nice, we were seated at round tables, 8 to a table, there is a small dance floor and room for a dj or live music. They even have one of those chairlifts to help people who cant make the stairs. (I did not see an elevator) Parking was easy as they have a large lot. Overall a good experience

We checked in at a busy time granted but the front desk person could not find our reservation. He had us spelling the name three or four times and when I finally wrote the name he said OHHH...that's how you spell it. Got to the room and it was HOT. Turned on the A/C on full and while in the process of unpacking I looked at the bed skirt and there was what appeared to dry vomit on the skirt trailing down from the pillow! We are now into about a half hour of our stay and the A/C is now blowing warm air. I went to the front desk and requested another room. The kid that checked us in said "well I'm not an A/C repair man so I can't help you with that" .. then "well I'm not a housekeeper so I cant tell if the bed was changed". We finally got our room. Breakfast was mediocre at best. The experience will not be repeated
