Gastropub fare, whiskey, and unique cocktails served
"Back for its third year in its downstairs Side Door speakeasy, the Pub and the People’s Krampus pop-up centers Santa’s counterpart Krampus, who punishes the naughty kids. In total are 18 on-brand beverages that include iterations on mulled wine a boozy Oaxacan hot chocolate made with mezcal, coconut milk and finished with orange zest." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The low-key gastropub runs its specially-priced menu Monday to Friday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Choose from wines and beers at a $2-off discount, $6 rail drinks, and $5 fries and shishito peppers. Its Side Door cellar bar offers Thursday-Saturday deals (6-8 p.m.) slashes prices on cocktails that rotate monthly." - Claudia Rosenbaum
"There’s plenty to keep guests warm at the the Pub & the People, like wood-burning fire pits outside and a welcoming, neighborhood bar atmosphere. Keep the cozy vibes coming with a cup of hot bourbon cider ($10), made with St. Elizabeth’s allspice dram, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger." - Kalina Newman
"Since it opened in 2015, I’ve seen Pub & the People plan to turn its basement storage into some version of a chill, unpretentious speakeasy; the team even let Little Wild Things City Farm use the space for a few years while getting established, and although the pandemic delayed the basement bar (which was largely completed), the room served as the best office and employee lounge for staff until the Side Door concept was finally unveiled. Back upstairs, Pub & the People has recently brought back a daily happy hour and now takes reservations for its winterized patio with fire pits." - Tierney Plumb
"Looking for something with bite? Look no further than The Sazerac, which centers around black licorice flavors. Mix that with Redemption Rye, Grand Marnier, Peychaud’s Bitters, and Absinthe Rinse." - Vox Creative
