Great Bar Scene nice Wine List

by Brutusnyc

unfortuneately i ate the food. the scene is good, the place is nice and large and the wine list is nice, but run away from the food and run away fast!

everything else about the place is cool including all the staff. its a good after work spot. i would have given more stars, but i did try the food and what can i say, the creme brule tasted like FISH aweful and made me sick. and all i did was take one bite.

Vibrant Bar Scene

by Athena Chang , Citysearch Contributor

I think I would have given it more stars if I only came here for drinks but unfortunately I was here for food.

We got their current dinner special of $25 set dinner. It comes with a choice of appetizer, entree and dessert. I went for the Bruchetta, fillet Mignon and berry pie. Out of the three, I actually like the bruchetta the most. It is actually surprisingly good. The fillet mignon, my choice of entree was a major disappointment. The meat is very old and rough, requiring tons of chewing! Finally, the berry pie just doesn't taste good.

Overall, I got full from the meal but I was not impressed with the food at all. Service was good and it definitely has a vibrant bar scene. I would suggest skipping the food here!

Reliable Spot for Drinks and Food

by a Tooch , Citysearch Contributor

Public House is a fairly new spot, with lots to offer. The happy hour prices are fair, and the giant space is filled on Thursdays and Fridays (er, and Mondays/Tuesdays too actually...) with young professionals working in the area. The crowd is a bit older than nearby McFadden's, if you are familiar with what a Friday happy hour is there...

For the ultimate hangover cure try the grilled cheese, served extra greasy on thick bread, with a side of tomato soup. Other favs include the spinach dip and nachos.

If you are looking to have a group birthday outing, Public House also runs the all-too-familiar 2 and 3 hour open bar deals. (Although at $40, I'm not sure how much of a "deal" it is.)

A great spot if you're in the neighborhood.

• Pros: Decent Happy Hour, Good Bar Food

Love PH!

I come here often for lunch & happy hour. Bartenders are always super friendly and the food is great! My group is always made to feel welcome and we love the ambiance.

A little crowded after work, but what can you expect - few places in Midtown are this cool.

• Pros: Friendly staff, great food

I say...find another bar.

Spacious. However, Happy Hour is INTENSE and super crowded. I went there after Happy Hour, to visit a friend bartending. Total B&T crowd, and my friend's Louis got stolen FROM THE BAR COUNTERTOP after she paid for a drink .Sketch, sketch, sketch.

Total sausage fest, but unless you're into the whole B&T thing, don't go. And no offense if you are...that's just what it is.

They do carry Basil Hayden's and Van Gogh Espresso Vodka...two plusses.
