I came here with my brother about a month ago, the drinks were good and it was quiet on a weekday night. The bartender was a little drunk and had her dogs running around behind the bar, going up to guests and barking like it was their home. It didn’t put me off enough to never want to come back. So when a friend and I were looking for somewhere to go for a nice cocktail we go to Public House. Same bartender, same dogs running around behind the bar which is where drinks are prepared so it’s a health code violation and is slightly unsettling but the bartender was drunk again so i’m sure she didn’t care. We got a couple rounds and were sitting outside on the back patio when I realized they closed at 12:00am and it was 12:04. We immediately got up and went inside the bar to realize it was completely closed, bartenders gone, lights off, front door locked… no one came outside to tell us it was closing time, and my tab was still open. the next day i realized the bartender took it upon herself to just close my tab for me and give herself a 20% tip. i’ve never left a review for a place like this nor has a bar / restaurant experience been so bad that i felt the need to, especially as someone who still works in the service industry and has bartended / served tables for many years. but after they closed my tab for me, the next day they charged my card AGAIN so i paid double the amount i was suppose to. luckily, i think someone noticed because the second charge eventually got reversed. all that being said i won’t be returning due to the possibility of that same...
Read moreI've been wanting to try Public House for several weeks now and last night was the night. Guess I should say, it's the night we tried! Walked in and my wife grabbed a table, as I went to the end of the bar. Two bartenders and they were both busy making drinks. I waited as they finished, and they still didn't acknowledge me. Then one of the bartenders helped another customer at the other end of the bar who walked up the same time I did and the second started cleaning behind the bar. I patiently waited but then he started asking the three customers sitting at the bar if they needed anything. One did, so he started making that drink for him. The other bartender had now finished the order for the other customer at the end of the bar, but then asked someone who just walked up to the bar if she could help him. This pattern continued for the next five minutes as they helped three other customers who walked up to the bar, as I stood alone at the other end of the bar. I'm not sure what I did to be totally ignored but obviously they didn't want my business. After watching the two bartenders serve 7 other people, my wife and I left. I've been to bars much, much busier than these bartenders were and never been ignored like this. I've been to sporting events and large venue busy bars where I've never been ignored like this. I've been in the most chic and sophisticated bars from New York to LA with some pretty snobby mixologist and never been treated like I was at Public House. Good luck surviving with the attitude of these two bartenders! We...
Read moreWe just stopped in for drinks the evening of 01.28.23. I ordered two Blackberry Titos Vodka Press', they were terrible. We actually sent them back. Then, I order a Jim Beam and coke... they didn't have Jim Beam... Jim Beam?! What. Ok, So I order a Makers Mark and Coke. I got it back to the table and it smelled like Gasoline... GASOLINE. I thought that can't be right I had the other 3 people that were with me all smell it, and they all agree, it was weird - but I didn't want to send yet another drink back. So we're off to a bad start here. The music was terrible, I mean terrible some kind of hard rap. The bartender was too busy taking with his friends to be distracted to make us a drink. Then when it came time to pay the bill he didn't give me a print out but handed me hand-charge machine thingy for me to sign off on. I thought it seemed high but didn't have time to review it while he was holding it in front of me. I reviewed the bill the next day, in an email and we were still charged for the two vodka press' that we returned. NOT COOL!!! We all agreed we couldn't have been more disappointed in our evening there. Bartender - not good, Music - terrible,...
