Amazing spot! Great food. Neighborhood local feel. Great drinks. Come for brunch (and ask for the hot sauce!).

The Ahi Tuna Burger was good... HUGE and a bit messy. Good beer selection and service.

Fantastic experience with Lauren Brooks-Soloman at Present Company Public House! She responded promptly to my questions, reached out numerous times to assist me with questions and provided outstanding customer service. I would work with her again at ANY time!!!

We’ve been hosting an annual event at Present Company for two years now and will continue to come back in the future! Planning the event has been a breeze every year with Lauren’s help. She is incredibly responsive and made sure all of the details were taken care of. The event itself was fantastic. The food was great and the staff made sure there was always enough of it. The bartender was also a pleasure. The location itself is also perfect for an event—the space was intimate and fun and all of our guests had a blast!

I love coming here - great specials. I really enjoy their Ceasar Fries. Every time I go, I order something different. Always tasty menu choices. Friendly staff, very nice. Laid back pub atmosphere is great before or after a game, to wind down after work, or to relax after a visit to the portrait gallery.

Present Company is one of those places where everyone knows your name and it can provide you that essential comfort food on both the good days and the not so good. Staff is amazing and personable. Can not recommend this place enough.

We recently hosted an event at Present Company. The staff were beyond amazing! All our guests commented that the food was incredible and the best reception they had attended at this national conference. Lauren was extremely responsive to requests and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Present Compnay for any future events. The old firehouse has an amazing bar upstairs and down. The atmosphere and vibe in this location can't be found anywhere else.

We were in town for a few hours and Lauren made this place home for us! Such a great vibe!

Bianca is the best thing about this place! Service is great, food is solid. Only issue was they were out of the skirt steak dinner 1 hour after they opened and it is a regular on the menu?

Tuesday trivia date night for two was fun until we were told there’s a $50 minimum on trivia Tuesday’s!! We’ve never been to trivia where there was a minimum spend, let alone $50!! I can understand there being a minimum charge for a big group, but for two people? Come on… I wouldn’t be so upset if this was clear up front before we started playing but we were told halfway through the game. And I checked all over the website and nowhere was the $50 minimum spend disclosed. We definitely won’t be coming back to trivia for date night.The server was really friendly which was the one saving grace.

My friend and I visited here twice in our weekend stay, unfortunately we arrived late in the night the first go so we didn’t get to try the food but our cocktail (The Fearless) was amazing! I’m a pretty picky person and Siobhan our bartender was very kind and tweaked it to my liking!Night 2: We made it in time to try dinner! We ordered the crabby tots and a Cuban. Definitely the best we’ve ever had! It was out quick and YUMMY! Sunday night happy hour made it even better!!We also wanted to shoutout Siobhan again for being such a kind person during our visit! We had an unfortunate personal experience(nothing to do with the bar at all!) while at the bar. Siobhan was very thoughtful and concerned. They made us feel safe and taken care of during the time we were there and even so kindly offered help if we needed anything after hours.It was also a very calm environment. Not too noisy or crowded, just what we were looking for! We will most definitely be back!

We went on a late Saturday night after walking all around the city. They have a great patio. Was very inviting and comfortable. Also dog friendly which we love. The food was really impressive. Went for a juicy burger. Another at the table had some amazing pasta. The waitress was really personable.

If you want to bring a group larger than 10, get in touch with Lauren. She is great! Won't charge a silly amount just to let you know they have space for you.
