Randomly came here for trivia night, pleasantly surprised by our experience. We didn’t know anything about this place but decided to try it out. We ordered a few things off happy hour menu and they came out better and more than we expected! Would definitely come back again!

Super friendly/excellent service. New to area,been moving all day and picked the right place to eat.Only patrons and end of operating hours, usually when people are short and rush you out, NOT here. Treated as if you're meal and experience are most important. Highly recommend for anyone. This is a local joint that you can be known at.

I attended a work event at Public House and was warmly greeted by the hostess, Kira, upon arrival. I grabbed a seat at the bar and took advantage of the happy hour menu, ordering a glass of white wine and the fried lasagna rolls. When they arrived, they looked delicious, though I doubted I’d finish them all. However, after just one bite, I was hooked. The pasta, lightly coated in breadcrumbs, filled with cheese, and served with marinara dipping sauce, was absolutely delightful—I’d definitely order it again. Our work event took place in one of the private rooms, and our server, Nick, was professional, attentive, and friendly throughout. The atmosphere was a bit on the darker side but still had a cozy, inviting feel.
