ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
Effective Date: March 2026 · Last Updated: June 2026
Our Commitment
The Original Firehouse Tavern is committed to ensuring that our website is built to WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard referenced by the ADA for web accessibility. We believe that every visitor deserves a full and equal experience on our website. We review and update our accessibility practices on an ongoing basis.
What We Have Done
We have taken concrete steps to make this website usable for everyone. Our current accessibility work includes:
- •We include skip links so keyboard and screen reader users can bypass navigation and get straight to the main content without tabbing through every link on the page.
- •A visible focus outline appears on every interactive element when navigated by keyboard, so you always know where you are on the page.
- •Text colors meet the 4.5:1 minimum contrast ratio for readability by people with low vision.
- •All form fields, buttons, and interactive elements have descriptive labels so screen readers can accurately communicate their purpose.
- •Animations automatically reduce for users who have the Reduce Motion preference enabled on their device.
Third-Party Content
Some content and features on our website are provided by third-party services including Anthropic Claude AI (Sparky chatbot), Elfsight (Google reviews), and online ordering platforms (Cake and DoorDash). While we select providers who take accessibility seriously, we do not have full control over third-party content. We encourage these providers to maintain accessible experiences and will continue to evaluate our third-party integrations with accessibility in mind.
