Oh, Public House...I want to like you, really, I do...But, I just...Don't. I was curious about Public House for quite awhile before I checked it out, and even on my first visit, I was underwhelmed. I like the open wood decor and the antique industrial lighting gives it a nice ambiance, but the seating is uncomfortable and it is always so loud in there! It's not a rowdy crowd in there, but the music is loud and the acoustics of the building just kinda naturally amplifies the human voice (and clinking of glasses!). I don't mind a lively bar, but I don't like having to strain so hard to hear a conversation I'm having. We usually just head out to the patio because of this. Speaking of the patio, I really wish they would put a few heat lamps out there during the winter...
Public House has a GREAT beer selection, but their wine and cocktails leave much to be desired these days. I enjoy beer, but I'm definitely more into wine and cocktails...This is a nice place, but it kinda caters itself too much to one crowd, IMHO. The bartenders are mixed. Some are down-to-earth and friendly, yet others will ignore you. Prices are decent, and sometimes there's a food truck parked nearby so you can get some nosh. The bathrooms are often a nightmare, so proceed with caution! Public House isn't bad, it's just not my thing. It may or may not be your thing either, depending on when you go. Definitely worth checking out if you're a beer connoisseur!
