I was incredibly disappointed, to be honest. This had to be the most uninviting trip to a bar I've been to in a long time. The door to enter was blocked by a group of people that were not eager to let us in. There was only one table available with one chair at it, which wasn't a big deal since we didn't mind standing. When i went to the bar to order, I had my I.D. and card in hand ready to order and had to wait for the bartender to finally come over even though we had been there for over 5 minutes, since I wanted to make sure we were ready to order at once as common courtesy. I was interrupted during my order by the bartender demanding I.D.s. I had mine in hand that I was handing over and he checked the two friends I had with me before bothering to listen to a word out of my mouth. Had to ask for my order again which was literally just a Vodka bomb. I switched to well over my preferred Vodka because i was not willing to give more of my money to such a rude experience. The bartender clearly didn't want us in there so we left, even after another table offered to buy us a round because I felt so clearly unwanted by the bartender. I have worked in dive bars from age 18-24 and I have never treated a random customer like that. This review is 1 star only because of the attitude we were given during our order by the bartender, everything else was just icing on the cake.

The guy that owns this bar that should be always full , but is always empty, has ZERO social skills and treats customers with no respect. The bar is closed half the time. Went on a Saturday at 8, and wasn't open. It's a shame because this could be a real cool spot, but the guy doesn't know how to run a business and has a dull and hateful personality.

walked in, everybody plus the bartender just looks at us and ignores us then carries on with his conversation. we sat there for a minute or two wondering if he’d at least walk up to or greet my bf and i. nope. he literally turned his back on us so we walked out. not as inclusive as they like to seem i guess.

I drove by looking for the local downtown brewery and decided to go to here instead bc tbh I wanted a light beer and a shot of liquor instead of a craft beer...anyhow. The bartender was profesh and prompt, the locals were so nice, and as a single lady I didnt feel the least bit uncomfortable. Also I can testify that unlike Annette, no one puked on me. 10/10 - dont sleep on the Public House!

Used to be amazing when Kimmie was the owner. Tonight I got put out and banned because I got thrown up on and asked for a paper towel to wipe off but was told NO by the bar tender “Train”. Mind you, he said i was too drunk to talk but I only had 2 drinks but he didn’t ban the girl who threw up on me!!!!

I got put out last night because I got thrown up on and I asked the bartender for a paper towel. I asked "Train" several times for a paper towel to wipe off and he told me NO. He then told me that I was no longer welcome back because I was drunk. I only had 2 drinks! But he never said anything about the girl who threw up all over me! I am so pissed and OFFENDED! I have been going there for YEARS...when the previous owners were there pre-COVID. I'm sad and PISSED! I hope the new owner reads this and contacts me!

Cute little beer place! Dog friendly. No food, but can bring in whatever you want. Good variety of bottles and draft (I had 2 great sours and my husband had 3 different IPAs) plus full bar! Its small but the bartender was excellent!
