Historic buildings make for such interesting restaurant spaces and it’s always nice to see these sites repurposed and reimagined. Along the first streets of Kentucky, you’ll find many buildings that now house favorite eateries, inns, shops, and much more, which helps to maintain the character of our towns and cities. The former engine house in the town of Winchester is one such reimagined place and has actually been home to many endeavors over the years. But it is now The Engine House Pizza Pub and as a supposedly haunted firehouse restaurant in Kentucky, there are many reasons to check out this delicious dining destination.

This classic red brick building in Winchester dates back to the late 1800s when it was erected as an engine house.

It was used as such for awhile until, perhaps ironically, a fire in an adjacent building forced a move to a different location. The building was then used as a variety of businesses for decades.
In 1984, the Engine House Deli opened its doors and more recently it transitioned into the Engine House Pizza Pub.

If this building can't be a fire station, it just looks like the right kind of place for a pizza parlor. And with its long history, it also makes sense that many believe this is a haunted firehouse restaurant in Kentucky.
The cozy interior of the restaurant is a great atmosphere for pizza and a cold drink, and you may even have the chance to offer up a slice to a friendly ghost.

As with most older buildings, there have been a few spooky tales told over the years, but the main focus now is on the delicious menu.
