I’ve been coming to Public House for years, and it’s still one of the most reliable spots in Old Town Temecula. The food is always solid—doesn’t matter if it’s lunch, dinner, or a quick bite during a night out.
Stopped in for happy hour recently and was reminded why I love this place. They’ve got a great beer selection, good vibes, and I was seriously stoked to see they now carry Happy Dad Hard Seltzer (my favorite). Huge win.
If you’re looking for a go-to Temecula bar, gastropub, or a chill spot with consistently good food and drinks, Public House is still one of the best.

Went here for dinner and drinks. Was very surprised to have live music playing as well! It was a very good vibe between the great food and drinks and music! Popped in on a weekend night and had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated- not too bad for a weekend. We sat outside and there was a great young band playing. My fiance and I both got the cheeseburger which was delicious! The meat was cooked perfectly and the bacon jam was very complimentary. I don’t remember the drink I got but I had 3 so they were definitely good! We will be back for sure!!

We were on a trip back from Arrowhead when the lady suggested this place, let me start off by saying if you want some of the best food you've ever had - come here now. The menu is stacked with incredible bites. We started with the Shishto Peppers and Goat Toast, both phenomenal. The cocktails were top notch, our mixologist Ariana was so good and kind with recommendations and customizations. We had so much fun here, the food, the drinks were incredibly great. Can't wait to come back, I wish we had food this good in Del Mar or a mixologist like Ariana! I'm a spicy heat fiend and she curated multiple cocktails to accommodate me.

The hostess was super friendly. The waitress staff was spot on on the recommendations and super accommodating with our two dogs.

Some of the party arrived early. They sat us immediately. They had heaters to keep us warm. Food was pretty good. Server was attentive. Had a great experience.

Can’t really report on the interior as we sat outside. Their outdoor dining space is off-street, spacious and very pleasant. The drinks were well-crafted and our server was very personable.
My only complaint is that they offer a burger made with Impossible Burger and even a homemade plant-based dressing, but the bun has egg in it so they had to serve my burger on lettuce leaves which weren’t up to the task and I ended up eating it with a fork and knife.
We chose Public House specifically for their vegan options.

We have Public House 2nd try because they source their food from places I can eat on a certain diet I'm on. The service was really good & we enjoyed our night out. It was a lively Sat night. My chicken dish was just ok... kinda dry. But my husbands steak was very good!

We sat there for 20-30 minutes and not 1 waiter came to our table to ask if we wanted to order drinks or food. There were 2 waiters that helped the tables next to us and not once did they ask if we've been helped nor did they ever say “hey we'll be right with you.” We ended up getting up and leaving as we were celebrating our anniversary with a sitter at home and didn't want to waste our time or our money waiting. Very disappointing!!

Great place and location with the City Hall parking structure within walking distance. There was a a great vibe here, although it was a little hard to have a conversation with the band playing. Music was good and the service was great.
