Fire Escape Coffee House a Christian haven in Frederick
The Fire Escape Coffee House and Juice Bar at 74S Market St claims to be Frederick's only Christian atmosphere eatery with Bible study on Thursdays and live Christian and contemporary bands on Fridays and Saturdays. Ten percent of proceeds aid the needy, run by Lynn Dealey and ministers Dennis and Elaine Stewart, opening last March in a boarded town area. Local volunteers include students from Frederick High and Gov. Thomas Johnson High, who describe the cafe as a welcoming, faith-centered alternative to bars. Regulars enjoy chess and conversation, with bands booked through November and a policy of avoiding television to encourage personal interaction.
