Last weekend we were in the area for our daughter's prom and our son was performing in the area as well. We planned to take pictures at a hotel uo there and then get dinner somewhere after we drop daughter off and before son's show. Well, needless to say, the hotel burned us , and others in the ohotos so we were screwed in where to take pictures I side, because weather not cooperating. The Public was a block away and stepped inside for girls to warm up and wait for a friend, and we checked the menu, for later. We noticed they had a staircase there and a downstairs not being occupied. It was a nice set up. We also liked the menu and decided to come back for our dinner after drop off. We noticed that we could take some nice photos downstairs, so I went to a staff member and explained our situation and asked if we could take some photos downstairs of the girls before prom. He said that would be fine and we eneded up getring really nice photos, and thr girls were happy something worked out.We wanted to give a huge shout out for them allow9ng us to do that and making prom as special as it should be. It was so kind of them to do that. Also we returned for our dinner and the waitress was very nice , food was great, and so was beer. We gave them our business either way bc we were so grateful for them helping us on a bad situation. But it turned out to be a great choice and definitely will be returning there again. Glad to see businesses still going above and beyond in customer service . You provided great memories and fun for those girls. Always will...
Read moreWow, 5 stars is not enough to describe our experience holding an event at Public. We recently reserved the Platform @PUBLIC area for a reunion of former colleagues. From our first contact with Monica, the Public staff went above and beyond for us. First, they were able to do a quick turnaround for our event. From there we had great communication, everything was exactly as described/requested, and staff was super attentive. The space itself is amazing - it can be a private area or an extension of the main bar depending on your event.
The food was delicious, just as we'd expect from previous experiences eating there. Offering guests open bar with the excellent selection at Public was definitely a hit. The atmosphere of the space, the amazing service, their super kind vibe all made it a fantastic event. At this point I'm thinking up more events to hold there, it was that awesome. I wish I could list everyone's name who worked with us - every single Public staff member was excellent.
Note: Another thing that really stood out was that we asked if a Marquette basketball game taking place during the time of the party could be televised on the big screen. It was just a request, but not a deal-breaker. Not only did they make sure it was on, but they actually added to their cable package just to fulfill our request! Thanks PUBLIC, we can't wait...
Read moreWe love Public Craft Brewing! We recently came to the new location (10/10/20) and it is so cool—it is very well-thought-out with a centralized bar, comfy couches for beer sipping, a game area, board games on a shelf for use, a private room for shows & stage, and a glass wall that overlooks the brewing equipment. We had the Perception Porter, the K-Town Brown, Bits & Pieces IPA, the Up All Day Coffee Blonde, the Under Nuttack, and the Pineanas in Pajamas. I loved the Up All Day Coffee Blonde because I love coffee blondes and they’re a bit different. The Pinenanas in Pajamas is a unique mix of hops & Hefeweizen, so that ways awesome too. My boyfriend loved the Perception Porter, but was happy with all his beer choices! They have a food menu now! It’s tacos, bar snacks (nachos, cheese curds), sandwiches, and salads. Be sure to ask about dessert! They brought us a warm homemade orange zest/cranberry cookie with vanilla ice cream and it was AMAZING. The staff is so nice— the servers are friendly and professional, and the main cook came out to ask us how our food was, so definitely excited for Public and all their work they are putting into the...
