Ladder 4 Wine Bar
Host your special occasions with us! We’ll put together a fun menu just for you and your guests, help you choose a bunch of bottles to open and let you guys enjoy your private dinner party.
Ladder 4 is a wine bar in a historic firehouse where we explore the complexity and culture of wine and the stories of the people who produce it in service of our mission to educate and lubricate residents and visitors to the city of Detroit. We celebrate simple human values: gathering around a table or at the bar for food and wine to sustain and delight, music to move your feet, conversations to connect and humor because we are fun and not fussy. Detroit first paid firefighters in 1860. Before that, fires were put out by a volunteer bucket brigade. A bucket brigade was a line of people between the fire and the Detroit river passing buckets of water. Ladder 4 was built in 1910. It was designed by Chittenden & Kotting, architects known for residential design in Indian Village as well as the Belle Isle Boat House. Both Engine 10 and Ladder 4 companies had been located elsewhere in the city and relocated to Vinewood and West Grand Boulevard when their original locations were demolished due to growth in the city. Ladder 4 was known as the home of the Rockwood. The Rockwood is a solid brass tip at the end of a firehose. Ladder 4 was the last fire station to use this tip into the early 2000s. Ladder 4 was closed in 2000 and Engine 10 was closed in 2012. The building was sold to the Cadariu brothers in 2015 and restoration work began in 2019.
