The place was once again sold in 1983 to Maggie Harper and then to Larry Staggs and Rich Wohn in 1989, who added the beer garden and expanded the food & drinks menu. Peter Eberhardt sold his business in 1943 to the McLaughlin family, who then sold it until 1971 to Joe Linoinni.

We would like to thank all our staff members for their help and all our guests for their tremendous support.Long before the elevated Metra tracks were laid across the street, before Edgewater existed as a neighborhood and even before Pop Morris’ Green Mill Gardens, the roadhouse now known as the Fireside Restaurant & Lounge has stood across from historic Rosehill Cemetery for more than a century. The times are changing, and our outlook has never been more optimistic. Our work ethic never left, but for a long while it was hard to see a future in the hospitality industry. We have taken our lumps over the last few years, but we finally feel like we are starting to get our footing again. Lastly, Covid has been difficult for everyone, but it has been especially difficult for the hospitality industry in general and our restaurant staff in particular. We encourage you to maybe grab an extra appetizer to munch on while you wait (we're kind of partial to the nachos). Some items will take longer than others to prepare.

The kitchen, and our Grillworks Grill, is our centerpiece so we have moved the kitchen right into the middle of the restaurant so you can watch the preparation of your meal. Our goal has always been to offer a high-quality product in a relaxed, approachable type of atmosphere. Fire Side was born as a way to take our "good bar food" concept from Sidelines and apply it to a more restaurant focused location. The Fire Side Public House is a sister location to Sidelines Bar and Grill in Millvale and Sidelines Beer House in Sewickley.
