Public House Brewing Company: Rolla R&D Brewpub

PHBC is a great place to enjoy a cold brew, great food and entertainment, such as trivia and live music. They’re making some exciting changes to their awesome location. The folks who own the pub are kind and neighborly. You can’t find a better place in Rolla or the surrounding areas!

My husband and I are foodies to say the least. We were very spoiled living in the DFW area for several years being exposed to many different cultures and lots of cuisines. We moved to Rolla less than 24 hrs ago. We decided to hit a bar and grill near us but quickly walked out due to the uncleanliness of the establishment. If you have that many tables dirty then what does your kitchen look like? Last minute we decided to hit the Public House. I think it may have been one of our best experiences. The establishment is clean, they brew in house which always makes for a wonderful decor. Super clean establishment from what we saw. We are huge lovers of anything charcuterie. They really have amazing cheeses and meats that hit the spot. The additional side of pickled onions, peppers and tomatoes hit hard. Loved it!! It’s one of the best boards we have had to date in its simplicity. For dinner we split a Pig, Fig and Apple plate. I am not a sandwich person and even I enjoyed it thoroughly. The balsamic for the salad accompanied with the dried fig was a perfect combination. Our server was polite, attentive, knowledgeable and he did a great job. We will definitely be coming back to this establishment!!

I'm not a regular but I have been here twice. This place is great! Food is good quality, drinks are excellent! They are currently doing renovations to their main dining area but have their tasting room open - eta was 3 or 4 months. Staff is attentive and friendly, and they do trivia on certain nights, as well as revolving beers. Restrooms in the tasting room were very clean and new. Recommend if your in the area!

We stopped in on Tuesday night for dinner and drinks. I was a bit disappointed that only the tasting room and outdoor seating was open and not the larger bar and dining room. The chairs in this area were not all that comfortable. It would have been nice to see a brief description of each beer and the alcohol content. We ordered the Italian panini and the turkey pesto. Both of which were very good and the portions were plenty large enough for the average person. The wait staff were all very attentive and friendly. The 3 different beers that we tried were all very good. Had to bring a couple 6 packs home with us. If we ever stop in Rolla for the night again we will definitely come back.

Nice place. Plenty of wall art to look at. Sat at a table with a drawing of Middle Earth. That was neat. Food was great. Always enjoy the mushroom pizza there.

Public House is a great place to visit. I am always a fan of local breweries. The bartender gave us some small samples to narrow our selection. I focused on the Giddy Goat Stout and loved it! No one was disappointed with their beverages in our group. The Reuben Panini was great. One member of our party preferred to have a burger or wings and those are not options. Still, they found something to satisfy them. We loved the board game options. That is a great touch. Overall, a truly nice experience.

Overall experience was pleasant. Service was good, food was tasty, and beer was great. Tried a flight and all four samples were great. So good I order growlers to go of the most tasty Elusive IPA. Out of growlers I elected the large to go cans instead, no big deal. Thirty something ounces for nine bucks, ok I’ve seen worse and thought the beer was good. The catch, three bucks for the can each, wow, ok. So, I’m into each can now for twelve bucks, get back to the house and crack a bad boy open, it’s a “B&B mild” beer, not bad on taste, but a 3% can of beer for twelve bucks is a nice kick in the crotch. Take away, go have a pint but hit up the local grocery store for home beer’s, you’ll save four plus dollars for a six pack and more importantly, get the beer you want.

Enjoyed a fantastic dining experience at this place! The atmosphere is clean and open, creating a pleasant ambiance. The food was absolutely delicious. One thing to note is that if you choose to sit on the patio, you might need to get your own drinks at the bar. However, the standout feature for us was that this restaurant is incredibly dog-friendly, both inside and on the patio. Highly recommended for a great meal in a welcoming setting!

Stopped in after dropping our kid off at camp nearby. Super friendly service. I had the mushroom pizza and it was excellent. My wife had the Reuben sandwich. It was well balanced with a perfect balance of meat to sauerkraut. I had a couple of cream ales and they were delicious. Nice atmosphere with live music and interesting art. May just stop in again next Saturday when we pick the kid up.

The restaurant was absolutely frigid. There is no excuse for keeping a dining room so cold. We had pizza. As my companion and I were looking for a restaurant we decided on pizza at Public House Brewing. Stating "who can mess up pizza"? Lordy, we found out. $18 for a mess of a supreme pizza. I have never had such a tasteless pizza. It had a minuscule amount of sausage on it that was flavorless as was the pepperoni. It was simply the worst pizza I have had. Our server was friendly and the restaurant was clean. I am usually on the hot side but could not wait to get outside to warm up. When most of your diners are wearing coats in June in your restaurant you maybe should consider turning the AC up a bit. I wont be back.

Food awesome ambiance awesome service sucks sucks sucks. A few of us from my combat unit (which I haven't seen some of these guys since the golf war) for lunch. Our average ages are late 50s to early 60s. After three beers served to us and we drank them rather fast. The waitress came over and said that she was cutting us off. Because she felt that we drink our beer to fast and then said at our age , we might not be able to handle beer. Lmbo since we all have had our first beer before her parents were born. Plus I think some of establishments, forget who's really keeping local businesses alive. It's not the kids they don't make the money that we do. Needless to say, we were gonna rent this place out to have them. Cater our huge combat reunion. Instead, they practice ageisms, so, we can't give them any business or support. We moved our rally to Branson. I had so many people's show up, I don't think this place could handle it anyway. Ageism refers to the stereotypes (how we think), prejudice (how we feel) and discrimination (how we act) towards others or oneself based on age. Shame

Food was great. Forgot to take a pic of my son's pizza. He liked it! Service was great as well! Ambiance is great. We stopped in on our way home for the holidays but seems like it would be a great place to meet friends and hang for a while. We'll def go back next time we're in the area!

I really like this place. The food, service and ambiance are all enjoyable. I love their forest mushroom pizza. It's like having an arugula salad on top of your pizza. Nice and healthy! :) My friend got the flatbread with gigs and prosciutto and said it was amazing. Love the live music.

Great drink options, except I wish you could select which wines you wanted for the flights. Great food, great atmosphere, and usually good service

I am a sucker for a brewery and this place is a gem. I absolutely loved the decor of the place. Cool mod inspired art work in the main area and even better maximalist art in the bathroom. The beer was delish, pizza was great and staff was super attentive. Wouldn't hesitate to come back here again and try some more pints

Really good!! The Hummus was delicious! I got the Caprese Flatbread and it was SO good! My husband got a pizza with jalapeños on it so I wasn't about that but he tore it up! Some of the beers are funky but they are pretty good. I got a Moscow Mule and it was pretty good!! It's a super chill environment and the service was excellent, although we did sit at the bar... will def. Go back!

Food is good, drinks were great, and karaoke night was entertaining. There's a great atmosphere in Public House and the drink selection is varied + tasty. My primary complaint is that Public House charges some steep rates for it. $6 (if I remember correctly) for a pretzel and some cheese? $9 for a basic Italian salad? And you're looking at minimum-$11 burgers for mediocre serving size. Point is, drinks will already be more expensive in a restaurant, and Public House's food selection is pricey for what you get, so it's very easy to rack up a significant bill without realizing it.

Very good food and beer. Awesome service!! And cool ambiance. Will definitely be back.

A great find while diving cross country. Great atmosphere in a repurposed building that we enjoy. Beer selection was varied and tasty. We had a beef panini we liked. As a bonus it was happy hour with $3 pints! This is definitely a place to stop.

Not a wide variety to do in Rolla at night, so we normally end up here for a microbrew. Rods Cream Ale is our favorite. Grab a board game, jump in a booth and you'll enjoy the Public House. Nice laid back setting. Live music occasionally, but the stereo background music is just fine here.

This local brew house us always warm and cozy!! Refreshing brews, my favorite being Rod's Cream Ale....it tastes better here than any other place! There is a great selection of board games to play, if you wish...or just enjoy cool beverages and cool conversation with your cohorts!! I always look forward to a visit here when we enjoy time with our MO S & T student!!

Well crafted beer, local wine and local spirits. Can't go wrong with anything on the food menu, either. Sausage pizza and house salad are my faves! Local art and musicians, friendly staff, and a cozy, comfortable atmosphere round out this pub experience. Highly recommend!

Good food, good atmosphere, staff with masks and gloves, big Black Lives Matter sign, and most of all great beer!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!

We've passed this little place many times and finally decided to give it a try last Sunday. The 3 stars are because we waited over an hour for 3 burgers, nothing special, just 3 burgers. They were good, so was the beer. They had several servers, but we had to stand up and wave down a different server to get a refill, our original server never came back to check on us. We had to ask for someone to go find her for our check. It wasn't busy late on a Sunday afternoon, only 3 other tables. Everyone seemed to be concerned with whatever was happening on the outside patio area. We will be by there again, probably several more times, we might stop again. But we'll likely order something other than a burger and if it takes over an hour to get our food, well...we will already be out the door and gone.

We were in town visiting and decided to stop in to try this place out. The atmosphere was cool, lots of table space for small or big groups. We decided to sit at the bar because we were going to just have a couple of beers. We were greeted by a gentleman behind the bar and he handed us some menus. My boyfriend got their IPA and I got a sample of their cranberry cream ale. This particular ale had a hint of cranberry and was very light. Good for a really hot summer day. It was a little too light for me so I went for their stout. The guy serving us literally threw the beer across the counter to us and walked away to go talk to some guys at the other part of the bar. We didn't see him again until my boyfriend's glass Sat empty for a couple of minutes and had to ask for another beer. There were 3 people behind the bar and the guys were busy talking and the girl was busy cleaning. No one checked on us. It's like you have to be a local to get food service. Every time we asked for a beer, he would slide the full glass on the bar and walk away. NO customer service! Then my boyfriend's glass sat empty again for another 5 min and no one came up to see if he wanted another. Everyone was busy talking to other people at the bar or washing glasses. What happened to customer service. So sad. He ended up getting the girls attention to get another beer. After that we didn't want to stay another minute, so we asked for the bill and the guy literally slung the bill our way while walking back to the people he was talking to. We have been road tripping and visiting family. This has to be one of the rudest server we have had. Will never be back. Would rather give our business to another place that wants our patronage. This place is getting 2 stars because the beer was good.

Had a couple pizzas and beers at the Rolla location. Pleasantly surprised with both! The beers were solid, the pizzas were creative and tasty. Will definitely hit up PHBC again next time I'm in Rolla!

Great local spot! Excellent selection of brews and super food choices. Highly recommend their Rueben and locally sourced Ozark Forest Mushroom pizza.

If you like craft beer and very good food coupled with a hip, unassuming pub this is your place and you wont be disappointed. I have been here twice in the last two weeks heres the skinny: Great beer, tried the flight first time and drank the "Creature Beer", actually a barley wine this time...incredibly delicious. I bought a bottle to go and am checking my bag at the airport so I can bring it home to Grand Rapids (beer city) Had pizza last week and a reuben tonight. Both were very well prepared and I truly enjoyed both. I will be back

I love this place!!!!! Not only do they provide plenty of seating room, yard games, water features, and an all around amazing patio... but the FOOD is fantastic and the beer is just as great! I didn't stray from the strawberry beer which I am guessing is seasonal. It was a wheat beer that wasn't too heavy but was oh-so-delicious! My meal mates enjoyed the cider and the cream ale. Both looked tasty. We nibbled on the kiddos mac and cheese which was creamy and topped with Franks Red Hot (just how I like it), and we each got a burger. I was traveling from out of town and the brewery said they were out of all of their special sauces that usually come on the burger. My friends said I am missing out and were disappointed I didn't get the full experience, however, I thought it was pretty tasty slathered with ketchup and mustard. The pretzel bites are also a must and are served with yummy fancy mustard and some sort of cheese sauce. I look forward to coming back here during my next visit! They have plenty of stuff to dunk in some sauce and provide refreshing beverages to guzzle while you do so.

So we know there is a pandemic and all but I feel refusal of table service is both cheap of the owners and fails to support the staff I know that is affected. Due to this we have deemed the establishment unfit for our future visits. Table positions made it so you sit two feet from table. Decor is basic dumpster art. Beer was good. Food was simply standard fare. Nothing to write home about.

I need to start with Brandon, the bartender who attended to my thirst. He displays excellent customer service and very informative of the joint. The Burger and pizza are moist and delicious. The brew, amazing!!! From Flynn's Irish Red, to the Hef (Hide and Seek) and the seasonal Giddy goat coffee milk stout. A place to stop by and hang out, check out, with your friends or at the bar with Brandon.

Probably some of the best pizza I have had in Rolla. Had their Margherita and veggie pizzas, both were cooked well, not greasy and well seasoned. Their beer samplers are always fun as well. Their house flatbread and pimento cheese sauce are great as well.

Have eaten here a few times since living in Missouri and each time have not been disappointed. Food is always good and service is usually good unless they're busy. When busy it seems as though they don't have enough help, or just become overwhelmed and cannot stay on task. We've done a date night here as well as a family meal so it is versatile. Great selection of beer and also love their deviled egg sampler as it is always changing with creative new ideas. Would recommend to friends or family.

We love literally everything about this brewery. They have a respectable selection for all tastes. I happened to love their hefeweizen and the 66 but the cider was great too- I don't normally like cider. Apparently their Session IPA is really great. They offer two types of growlers. One is a double insulated one with a very cool logo and attached top. The food was surprisingly spot on. They recently started offering all their sandwiches as paninis. Yum. Warm and fresh. We loved it. Thank you for great service, great food and GREAT beer.

Great ambience. Always look forward for the different beers they come up with. Vegetarian sandwich was good. Would like to visit again.

Limited selection of rotating beers, but I really enjoyed their IPA selection. Pizza is well cooked (we ordered a veggie) and customer service is phenomenal. The staff are so kind! Definitely a great road stop post-hiking if you're in the area.

Somehow I've skipped writing a review about Public House. I'm here to tell you about all the painful hours of hangover that public house has caused me in my life because it is just so damn good. I would say PH has single handedly (Or multiple hands if you know those frisky owners) saved my lively hood when I visit Rolla. There isn't much going on in the town, but if there is this is where its at. Good music and good beer, and the people are acceptable as well! Now, if you like a peppered, dry hopped, lager-ale that's been fermented for 45.3134 days at 40 degrees C while monkeys fanned it with banana leaves, this is not where you will get it. While the staff may be kind enough to fan you with Banana leaves the beer is focused around keeping it simple. Public House is indeed a brewery, but the beer plays somewhat of a small role in the success of this place. You see, the beer is a catalyst to keep you engaged in conversation, thus the name "Session Beer". You'll get a beer that's good, you can drink a bunch and not get tired of it. But at the same time your beverage will be big and wonderful enough to keep you coming back for that one go-to beer (for me its probably the mild). If you still don't understand, let me put it in terms of tacos. You can be blown away by a duck tongue taco with fancy cheese and pickled onions on top but you will always want that taco you have learned to love. Sometimes that taco just has chicken, cheese and lettuce and comes out of a shady cart from a guy who you can't understand but you just know you give him a dollar and he turns it into a taco with his magical cart. And when the night comes to a close you can get a growler to go! Please, drink and ride. Don't drink and drive. Food you say? They've got that too. Local cheese and meat trays that are ballin'. Even though Rolla is a small town I frequently see a lack of businesses teaming up with other as well as public house does. They know they've got their own beer but they love to bring in other places too. They work with local wineries, chefs and restaurants to bring in food on the weekends. Also, if you've got a thing for wood this place is wonderfully decorated and designed with tons of hard wood and lovely grained surfaces for you to oodle your eyes over. check it out and caress the wood. Rent the balcony for your own crew, or catch an event. Whatever you do, just drink the damn beer and have a good time! If you still aren't convinced let me tell you this. I lived in Rolla for several years and Public House was my go to place. Once I graduated and moved to Kansas City I figured there would be tons of options! 2 years in an I'm still looking for my go to brewery that I enjoy as much as Public House, and trust me I've been working hard and long at finding one.

I think they had, like 10 of their beers on tap. That blows away my local brew pubs, like Penrose and Two Brothers. And what they had was, very good. A little low on alcohol, but that just means a longer night out for us old geezers. Very knowledgeable beertenders. Revelation Stout is the finest, with Elusive IPA right behind! We tried the meat and cheese plate. The asiago was awesome! And so was the Italian Salami. Great conversations at the bar, including some snippets of "Huey Long was..." and "He took the strap to me..." God, I miss good ol' bar talk! Overall, this place was good enough for me to tell the wife I'm moving to Rolla. I'm sure when I wake up tomorrow there's not a chance in hell I'll change my mind... No, really!

While I was visiting my always lovely in-laws in Rolla, we decided to check out the town's (only) brew pub. We decided to check it out after a rousing dinner. While I am not a beer expert, I have been known to enjoy a brew or two in my time and I was pleasantly surprised at what I saw here. First off, the decor is pretty impressive. You can tell that the owners really want to make sure that this place looks good. It reminds me of a Bridge in St. Louis except the wood is a bit darker. Also the layout is pretty neat as well. However we were there for the board games and beer. I ended up with a sampler which was served with paired with chocolate. I suck at pairing beers with food so this was pretty neat. I really enjoyed the Mild and Hefeweizen selections. Next time I visit Rolla, I'll have to stop by there with a growler because it was worth it. I really didn't get any food but from what I could taste, the beer was pretty good. Nothing too overpowering, just good beer and a relaxing atmosphere. Next time I'll have to get some food but from what I saw, it warrants 4 stars. Definitely a place to visit if you're in Rolla!

I'd love to give a higher rating as the Hefeweizen I had was quite good. However, I'd planned on having dinner and another beer before I left. When I arrived I sat at the bar and it took forever to even get an acknowledgement that I was there. The barmaid was probably the most unfriendly one I've encountered in a long time. She threw a menu and beer list down in front of me when she finally decided to wait on me and then disappeared again. I finally got my beer and was never asked if I wanted to eat even though I'd looked through the minimalist menu and was planning on ordering something. I'd ridden on my bike in the rain over 400 miles and was really looking forward to something good to eat and a couple of beers. But, I decided to cut my losses and just stopped at Kroger and picked up a few things and went back to my room. I still can't figure out why I even tipped her a buck after such poor service. BTW, I'm the guy who was in there around 6pm with all my riding gear on if you need to figure out who wrote this review.

The public house is the best there is in Rolla for a micro brew (the one and only). They do a good job at what they serve, which amounts to 5-6 beers. Unfortunately having traveled around a bit and having visited many Microbrews, the Public house is pretty limited in beer selection, as they just have these few beers and they really don't ever change things up. I realize that most Microbrews offer many more and change them often so you get to try many different flavors and styles. Unfortunately even their monthly firken's are only 5 gallons so if you don't get their with a couple of hours you don't get any. Hopefully management will read this and try to open the scope of their offerings in the near future to keep Public house fresh and changing. The sandwiches and artisans plates are very god but again somewhat limited in scope of offerings. What ever they serve is always good though. If you really like varied types and styles of beers public house may disappoint, but if you like one or several of the beers they offer it may be great for you. Nice atmosphere and very good service. The place is very nice and represents one of the Best places in Rolla. They are a relatively new Business, so hopefully as they get more established the business will continue to grow and provide additional offerings.

The concept is great - a cool brewpub with live music, cool decor, and artwork on the walls. They also serve some light food, but encourage you to bring in food from local joints if you so desire. The upstairs loft was a great place to enjoy a few beers. Check out the coffee table up there that has set of apartment mailboxes inlayed into the top. There's also an old timey phone that was fun to tinker with after a few beers. There's a good selection of beer, along with wine and scotch for non-beer drinkers. Honestly, I've had better, more flavorful, beer, but it was good, and the ambiance made up for any beer snobbery on my part . Definitely worth a stop if you like beer and are in Rolla.

Awesome place. Cream ale was great. Bartenders were extremely friendly. Caroline was super helpful. The pizza was great as well. Crisp and extra cheesy. Wife had the beer sampler and really liked the Vignoles. This place gets lots of ingredients from local places which is cool. Beautiful decor inside as well. We will stop by again without a doubt

Rolla has a brew pub?!? Yeah! I'm from Colorado. Oscar Blues and Lefthand are less than 2 miles from my house. Expand that radius to 25 miles and you get Mountain Sun, Boulder Brewery, Avery, Upslope, New Belgium, Odell's, etc., etc., etc. Needless to say, I have very high standards for brew pubs. The Public House holds up well. The atmosphere is great. Some of the beers are excellent, most are very good. Only one or two should be avoided. The one drawback is the food menu - just a few appetizers and a smattering of sandwiches.

Great beer!! Great sandwiches! The roast beast is out of this world. The service is great! If you are anywhere close, stop in and have a great beer and some great food, with a side of smiling service.

This place is an excellent addition to the city of Rolla. The atmosphere provides a great place to go and meet up with friends and the beer is excellent. I got a sampler of the blond, mild, hefeweizen, and ESB. They were all all excellent beers, with the mild definitely earning its bronze metal at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival. I would definitely recommend this establishment to everyone for a beer while in Rolla and if it is your first visit get the sampler and find your favorite beer.

Being a coffee aficionado and craft beer enthusiast, I naturally jumped at the opportunity to grab a six-pack of the Giddy Goat Coffee Milk Stout. This ____ beer is a miraculous collaboration of my two favorite beverages by two of my favorite places- The Public House Brewery and Giddy Goat Coffee House- both in Rolla, Missouri. For those of you who have never been to central Missouri, our small, in-the-middle-of-nowhere locale is full of roasters, wineries, and breweries. I have to say, this stout amazed me in so many delightful ways. First of all, even though the bottle clearly states the low alcohol volume, I was pleasantly surprised by how little of the alcohol I actually tasted. My first impression was the sweet aroma of the lactose, then of the actual coffee. Neither of those were overpowering, but they were well balanced in the aroma, as well as in the flavor. Pouring black with a small, tan head, this drink is a full-bodied beer and exceptionally balanced. It is both rich and creamy in texture while retaining qualities of a much lighter drink. I like stouts, but am very picky with them. Most (at least that I have tasted) tend to be a bit heavy and somewhat bitter or acidic in flavor, needing to be cut with something slightly sweet. This one had none of those characteristics that I was expecting. Hefeweizen is usually my go to because the lightness and depth of flavor allows it to stand on its own. This stout could easily become my next go to drink. I did consider scratching out the word "alcohol" on the bottle and taking it to work instead of my usual latte- after all, the bottle did say "coffee" and "milk"- but somehow I think my employers would frown on drinking at work! If you are a stout enthusiast looking for a more traditional stout, I recommend their Revelation Stout. For those of you who would like one a bit lighter and more balanced, this is the one.

I basically love any place with good drinks, atmosphere and a patio so Public House fits the bill for me. I didn't personally eat there but my friends did and they raved about the food. I did try the potato salad, I'm not used to German Potato salad, but whoah! that stuff is potent, but I hear that's normal. I had a few glasses of their peach beer that is currently on tap and it was delicious. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was that there is no wait staff on the patio and we had to run in to order and pay for each round of drinks.

Oh my goodness!! Great beer and great food! We were traveling through and found this place. We were thinking just a good craft beer and bar food! WRONG! The food was unbelievably good. We had the paninis with a salad. Both outstanding. Not your ordinary salad-it was wonderful and the sandwich the best I've ever had! Don't miss this place! And the service superb

Fantastic craft beer and atmosphere at their two beautiful locations. Friendly service and delicious pizza! Can't rave enough about the curbside service adapted quickly for the pandemic for both Public House beer and wine from St. James Winery.

Great atmosphere. We tried three different beers and they were very good. Will be back on our next trip down I-44.

I've been to Public House Brewing Company on three different occasions now: once with family, once for Octoberfest, and once again with family and friends. On all three occasions I was very pleased. Decore: The decore is very nice, open and rustic, yet comfortable. Both the tables and the chairs are comfortable with nice finished wooden tables. The exposed wooden support beams give a sort of old world charm, while on the ground level a view into the brewery with its copper stile and copper hand rails is a great conversation piece. Also they offer an upstairs and downstairs if you want a little more privacy and quiet. Atmosphere: The atmosphere of the Public House Brewing Company is superb. It can be a bit loud in the front of the house, however the rest of the restaurant is quite pleasant weather you choose the bar, a booth or a table. Pleasant music is piped throughout the establishment, and better yet there are no distracting TVs around. However by far the best feature of the establishment if the promotion of good fun and interaction with those that you are attending with. Service: The service here is quick and efficient, while being pleasant and not making you feel rushed. Also they check in with you frequently enough so that your drink and food are replenished, without being intrusive to your gathering with family and friends. The staff is knowledgable about their menu including specials, regardless of weather it is a food item or a beer. Furthermore, the staff works hard to have seasonal or holiday specials such as the Octoberfest celebration wherein they brought in food, wine and beer tasting, and a German band to play. Food / Drink: Again the food and drink are superb. From the drink stand point they have a wide selection that will please the pallet of most robust to the most timid. They brew their own beers, and also bring in surrounding breweries for their customers to sample. Furthermore they have a decent wine selection of the local Missouri wines for patrons to have. At one point they were even selling mead. As for the food they have several meats ranging from salami to elk and cheeses ranging from sharp cheddar to Borsian if you are feeling in the munchey mood. They generally don't sell full meals, so don't think you're going there to eat a lot. However, they will let you bring in your own food if you wish. Also from time to time they will offer full meals such as the thanks giving smoked turkey leg with corn and potatoes. Over all if you are passing through or a resident of Rolla a stop by is well worth the time and merriment that you will enjoy spending here.

Great beer, great food, great service. If there is a bad review in this list ignore it, the writer is a grump or without taste. I'm not an IPA fan, but the Vignoles was terrify, especially paired with the tangy vinaigrette that comes on the salad or crispy mixed greens.

This is a great place to relax and have a great craft beer! Very relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. They have plenty of games you can play while visiting with friends. If you are in Rolla stop by here!

This is the best microbrewery in rural Missouri. Great artisan cheese plate and they do occasional tastings and beer schools. Best of all is their music. Local blue grass. The banjo like you've never heard it

We made a list of our favorite things about living in Rolla and the Public House made the top 5. It's a great space - to hang out and try some great beers. My favorite thus far was the sour they had early this year, which ran our quickly and sadly sounds like it won't be back. :( I also like the Bird & Baby Mild and the Strawberry Wheat was good too! Boo really likes the Rod's Cream Ale and says the IPA is WAY better than most (he usually hates them). This is also the meeting place for a bunch of different groups in town (including the local brewer's club, M.A.S.H) so sooner or later you'll probably find yourself here. They also have trivia night on Mondays - we've yet to go, mainly because we forget, and also don't have a team. But love drinking their beer (which you can usually get at Kroger!) and are proud that they are in Rolla. Keep up the good work, guys!

This place has fantastic pizza and charcuterie boards. The service is amazing and everyone is so friendly and attentive. Great place to dine in mid Missouri!!
