We had our command holiday party here and it was a huge hit! Dave was very helpful and was willing to go above and beyond to make our party amazing! We had the back room which seemed to fit our party size perfectly! He allowed us to come in early before opening to set up and make the space ours which we really appreciated not only that they provided clean up afterwards! Definitely recommend this place any group type functions!

Booked our command Christmas party here. We had the back room with our own personal bartender. The food was amazing, the drinks were on point and the room was perfect for us. Our bartender went above and beyond and took everything in stride when we switched things up on her the last minute. Dave communicated with us every step of the way and made sure we had everything we needed. He let us view the space before we made the final decision and even let us come in early before they opened to let set up the day of the party. Will definitely be back.

Well on Thursday they have a fantastic burger special with fries and the burger is off the hook. Also the mac and cheese is fantastic. And they also have a pool table which is cool. And a lot of different craft beers it looks like as well. I was so darn hungry that I from traveling that I forgot to take pictures of the food but it was well presented in delicious.

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.

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.
