Editorial Review for The Publick House – by Eric Grossman

In Short
Area professionals young and old flock to this inviting pub for its beer selection and romantic, relaxed atmosphere (lots of candles, a pair of fireplaces). With a full bar, more than 20 beer taps and a varied food menu (pistachio-crusted scallops, mussels and frites), patrons won't find themselves lacking for options. The taps feature several hard-to-find microbrews and imports (several more are available by the bottle).

User Reviews for The Publick House

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

01/30/2008 Posted by specialkaj

We live a block away and go out to eat at least 4 times a week. Between my husband and I, we have had 4 episodes at Publick House. All with at least a 30 to 45 minute wait for food, and that's not even at a peak hour. These attempts to enjoy a local restaurant were about a year or more ago. We decided to give it another try. How could they stay in business with such bad service. Things must have changed, we think. It was Friday night at 5:30. The restaurant is 25% full. We both ordered a beer and a salad. The beer came quickly. The salad came in 45 minutes. The waitress said it takes a long time to make the zuchini salad. What!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The stuffed zuchini salad was cold and so was my husband's calamari salad. Well, Publick House has not changed. Go across the street to the GT for a much better meal and great drinks.

Pros: a block from where we live

Cons: horrible service and cold food

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

PlatinumElite is obviously a D-Bag. And a whinny little girl at best. On another note, I recommend the elk chops, New Zealand antelope, and alligator tenderloin.
