We decided to come back here and try it again. It is a very open air environment. Somewhat dimmed light but there was plenty of natural light. Tony was our superb server. Very helpful and answered all our questions. The food was good but I felt alittle salty which my sister liked. So really it's based on preference. The smash burger was just okay. Fries were good. Garlic aioli had lemon in it and it overtook the garlic. The pizzas were good and you can tell they make the dough in house. Beers were good. Overall we will be back when we are back in town. read more

Fantastic lunch! When our son graduated Missouri S&T the ceremony was in the morning and he selected Public House for lunch - great choice! Our son shared that the Public House owner has presented to his Entrepreneurial class, sharing insights into getting a company, getting a brewery started, including interactions with local government, etc. he and his friends have frequented and this was the first chance for us family to visit. Mutiny provided exceptional service! For food, we enjoyed: - charcuterie board - 600-day aged priscuitto and coppa; three cheeses from Wisconsin and France; mustard and a fog jelly - all good - house chips - salads - Rueben sandwiches For drinks we all enjoyed: - coffee stout (House) - IPA (house) - non-alcoholic: Elderflower and a cherry lime aide Great food and a great time. Thank you, Public House! read more

It was a very fun evening. Public house brewing was a fine establishment. While I was there was a beard contest. It was a hoot !!

The cream ale was delicious and paired well with my Reuben sandwich. My wife and kids also enjoyed their meal. The server was friendly and attentive. We will surely come back the next time we roll through town. read more

Food was great. Forgot to take a pic of my son's pizza. He liked it! Service was great as well! Ambiance is great. We stopped in on our way home for the holidays but seems like it would be a great place to meet friends and hang for a while. We'll def go back next time we're in the area! read more

My friends and i were excited to visit the newly renovated rolla location, and were unfortunately disappointed. For starters, we were sat in the tap room area on wooden benches, which are not comfortable for an hour long meal. I even saw another couple ask for folding chairs instead of the bench. Next, our service was not good, with our waitress not even telling us her name, and not being avalible/ checking on our table. 3/4 of our meals came out wrong in some way. Also, the menu is very limited and expensive. a small cocktail cost around $13+ and entree options were most $17+ for baseline portions. read more

Our favorite place to stop on trips to Illinois. Public House Brewery has a cool vibe and a great selection of craft beers and St. James wines. If you prefer a mixed drink, there is a selection to choose from. If you're hungry, the menu has a selection of unique sandwiches, salads, and small bites. My husband had the Italian sandwich prepared as a panini. You could also have it deli-style. My friend and I had the charcuterie board that we enjoyed. For drinks, my husband loved the Strawberry Ale and I had the St. James Velvet Red. It was as so good that I bought a bottle. My friend had a Moscow Mule. We were excited to learn about the expansion plans and we look forward to many visits in the future! read more

The goat cheese and fig salad was one of the best salads I've ever had. Their hospitality was top notch. read more

The restaurant was absolutely frigid. There is no excuse for keeping a dining room so cold. We had pizza. As my companion and I were looking for a restaurant we decided on pizza at Public House Brewing. Stating "who can mess up pizza"? Lordy, we found out. $18 for a mess of a supreme pizza. I have never had such a tasteless pizza. It had a minuscule amount of sausage on it that was flavorless as was the pepperoni. It was simply the worst pizza I have had. Our server was friendly and the restaurant was clean. I am usually on the hot side but could not wait to get outside to warm up. When most of your diners are wearing coats in June in your restaurant you maybe should consider turning the AC up a bit. I wont be back. read more

Food awesome ambiance awesome service sucks sucks sucks. A few of us from my combat unit (which I haven't seen some of these guys since the golf war) for lunch. Our average ages are late 50s to early 60s. After three beers served to us and we drank them rather fast. The waitress came over and said that she was cutting us off. Because she felt that we drink our beer to fast and then said at our age , we might not be able to handle beer. Lmbo since we all have had our first beer before her parents were born. Plus I think some of establishments, forget who's really keeping local businesses alive. It's not the kids they don't make the money that we do. Needless to say, we were gonna rent this place out to have them. Cater our huge combat reunion. Instead, they practice ageisms, so, we can't give them any business or support. We moved our rally to Branson. I had so many people's show up, I don't think this place could handle it anyway. Ageism refers to the stereotypes (how we think), prejudice (how we feel) and discrimination (how we act) towards others or oneself based on age. Shame read more

We had a retirement celebration at Public House last week for 100 or so friends and co-workers. The facility, food, libations and camaraderie was wonderful! The ownership and staff couldn't have provided better service! read more

We had a wonderful meal here for a group of 12. The staff was great and the beer and food delicious. They accommodated us by putting us in our own room with the brewing equipment which has a great vibe. Thanks so much. read more

We love Public House in Rolla! It is a must stop every time we are in town. The beer and drinks are fantastic, and every food menu item has been a hit! The staff is friendly and welcoming at every hour of the day and night. We can't wait to see how they continue to grow and improve the downtown Rolla area. Thanks for the table and conversation Tony! read more

Our experience was awesome! Service was great and they were accommodating to our large party! Thank you so much Tony!

Great beer, great food, great atmosphere. They are even expanding the building for more space. But already a great vibe! My wife and I took our son for a short 21st birthday toast during his busy school week on a Tuesday. Tony was fantastic, too. This is a perfect place, all around. read more

I really like this place. The food, service and ambiance are all enjoyable. I love their forest mushroom pizza. It's like having an arugula salad on top of your pizza. Nice and healthy! :) My friend got the flatbread with gigs and prosciutto and said it was amazing. Love the live music. read more

winter and Tony here great host. beer, food, and cider were all fantastic. great environment to have a couple brews with the fellas.

Great drink options, except I wish you could select which wines you wanted for the flights. Great food, great atmosphere, and usually good service read more

I am a sucker for a brewery and this place is a gem. I absolutely loved the decor of the place. Cool mod inspired art work in the main area and even better maximalist art in the bathroom. The beer was delish, pizza was great and staff was super attentive. Wouldn't hesitate to come back here again and try some more pints read more

Food is good, drinks were great, and karaoke night was entertaining. There's a great atmosphere in Public House and the drink selection is varied + tasty. My primary complaint is that Public House charges some steep rates for it. $6 (if I remember correctly) for a pretzel and some cheese? $9 for a basic Italian salad? And you're looking at minimum-$11 burgers for mediocre serving size. Point is, drinks will already be more expensive in a restaurant, and Public House's food selection is pricey for what you get, so it's very easy to rack up a significant bill without realizing it. read more

A great find while diving cross country. Great atmosphere in a repurposed building that we enjoy. Beer selection was varied and tasty. We had a beef panini we liked. As a bonus it was happy hour with $3 pints! This is definitely a place to stop. read more

Not a wide variety to do in Rolla at night, so we normally end up here for a microbrew. Rods Cream Ale is our favorite. Grab a board game, jump in a booth and you'll enjoy the Public House. Nice laid back setting. Live music occasionally, but the stereo background music is just fine here. read more

Really good!! The Hummus was delicious! I got the Caprese Flatbread and it was SO good! My husband got a pizza with jalapeños on it so I wasn't about that but he tore it up! Some of the beers are funky but they are pretty good. I got a Moscow Mule and it was pretty good!! It's a super chill environment and the service was excellent, although we did sit at the bar... will def. Go back! read more

Very good food and beer. Awesome service!! And cool ambiance. Will definitely be back.

Stopped in after dropping our kid off at camp nearby. Super friendly service. I had the mushroom pizza and it was excellent. My wife had the Reuben sandwich. It was well balanced with a perfect balance of meat to sauerkraut. I had a couple of cream ales and they were delicious. Nice atmosphere with live music and interesting art. May just stop in again next Saturday when we pick the kid up. read more

Well crafted beer, local wine and local spirits. Can't go wrong with anything on the food menu, either. Sausage pizza and house salad are my faves! Local art and musicians, friendly staff, and a cozy, comfortable atmosphere round out this pub experience. Highly recommend! read more

We've passed this little place many times and finally decided to give it a try last Sunday. The 3 stars are because we waited over an hour for 3 burgers, nothing special, just 3 burgers. They were good, so was the beer. They had several servers, but we had to stand up and wave down a different server to get a refill, our original server never came back to check on us. We had to ask for someone to go find her for our check. It wasn't busy late on a Sunday afternoon, only 3 other tables. Everyone seemed to be concerned with whatever was happening on the outside patio area. We will be by there again, probably several more times, we might stop again. But we'll likely order something other than a burger and if it takes over an hour to get our food, well...we will already be out the door and gone. read more

If you like craft beer and very good food coupled with a hip, unassuming pub this is your place and you wont be disappointed. I have been here twice in the last two weeks heres the skinny: Great beer, tried the flight first time and drank the "Creature Beer", actually a barley wine this time...incredibly delicious. I bought a bottle to go and am checking my bag at the airport so I can bring it home to Grand Rapids (beer city) Had pizza last week and a reuben tonight. Both were very well prepared and I truly enjoyed both. I will be back read more

I love this place!!!!! Not only do they provide plenty of seating room, yard games, water features, and an all around amazing patio... but the FOOD is fantastic and the beer is just as great! I didn't stray from the strawberry beer which I am guessing is seasonal. It was a wheat beer that wasn't too heavy but was oh-so-delicious! My meal mates enjoyed the cider and the cream ale. Both looked tasty. We nibbled on the kiddos mac and cheese which was creamy and topped with Franks Red Hot (just how I like it), and we each got a burger. I was traveling from out of town and the brewery said they were out of all of their special sauces that usually come on the burger. My friends said I am missing out and were disappointed I didn't get the full experience, however, I thought it was pretty tasty slathered with ketchup and mustard. The pretzel bites are also a must and are served with yummy fancy mustard and some sort of cheese sauce. I look forward to coming back here during my next visit! They have plenty of stuff to dunk in some sauce and provide refreshing beverages to guzzle while you do so. read more

So we know there is a pandemic and all but I feel refusal of table service is both cheap of the owners and fails to support the staff I know that is affected. Due to this we have deemed the establishment unfit for our future visits. Table positions made it so you sit two feet from table. Decor is basic dumpster art. Beer was good. Food was simply standard fare. Nothing to write home about. read more

I need to start with Brandon, the bartender who attended to my thirst. He displays excellent customer service and very informative of the joint. The Burger and pizza are moist and delicious. The brew, amazing!!! From Flynn's Irish Red, to the Hef (Hide and Seek) and the seasonal Giddy goat coffee milk stout. A place to stop by and hang out, check out, with your friends or at the bar with Brandon. read more

Had a couple pizzas and beers at the Rolla location. Pleasantly surprised with both! The beers were solid, the pizzas were creative and tasty. Will definitely hit up PHBC again next time I'm in Rolla! read more

Probably some of the best pizza I have had in Rolla. Had their Margherita and veggie pizzas, both were cooked well, not greasy and well seasoned. Their beer samplers are always fun as well. Their house flatbread and pimento cheese sauce are great as well. read more

Great local spot! Excellent selection of brews and super food choices. Highly recommend their Rueben and locally sourced Ozark Forest Mushroom pizza. read more

We love literally everything about this brewery. They have a respectable selection for all tastes. I happened to love their hefeweizen and the 66 but the cider was great too- I don't normally like cider. Apparently their Session IPA is really great. They offer two types of growlers. One is a double insulated one with a very cool logo and attached top. The food was surprisingly spot on. They recently started offering all their sandwiches as paninis. Yum. Warm and fresh. We loved it. Thank you for great service, great food and GREAT beer. read more

Public House Brewing Company - Turkey panini with tomato, lettuce and pesto. =D - Breweries Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

Have eaten here a few times since living in Missouri and each time have not been disappointed. Food is always good and service is usually good unless they're busy. When busy it seems as though they don't have enough help, or just become overwhelmed and cannot stay on task. We've done a date night here as well as a family meal so it is versatile. Great selection of beer and also love their deviled egg sampler as it is always changing with creative new ideas. Would recommend to friends or family. read more

Somehow I've skipped writing a review about Public House. I'm here to tell you about all the painful hours of hangover that public house has caused me in my life because it is just so damn good. I would say PH has single handedly (Or multiple hands if you know those frisky owners) saved my lively hood when I visit Rolla. There isn't much going on in the town, but if there is this is where its at. Good music and good beer, and the people are acceptable as well! Now, if you like a peppered, dry hopped, lager-ale that's been fermented for 45.3134 days at 40 degrees C while monkeys fanned it with banana leaves, this is not where you will get it. While the staff may be kind enough to fan you with Banana leaves the beer is focused around keeping it simple. Public House is indeed a brewery, but the beer plays somewhat of a small role in the success of this place. You see, the beer is a catalyst to keep you engaged in conversation, thus the name "Session Beer". You'll get a beer that's good, you can drink a bunch and not get tired of it. But at the same time your beverage will be big and wonderful enough to keep you coming back for that one go-to beer (for me its probably the mild). If you still don't understand, let me put it in terms of tacos. You can be blown away by a duck tongue taco with fancy cheese and pickled onions on top but you will always want that taco you have learned to love. Sometimes that taco just has chicken, cheese and lettuce and comes out of a shady cart from a guy who you can't understand but you just know you give him a dollar and he turns it into a taco with his magical cart. And when the night comes to a close you can get a growler to go! Please, drink and ride. Don't drink and drive. Food you say? They've got that too. Local cheese and meat trays that are ballin'. Even though Rolla is a small town I frequently see a lack of businesses teaming up with other as well as public house does. They know they've got their own beer but they love to bring in other places too. They work with local wineries, chefs and restaurants to bring in food on the weekends. Also, if you've got a thing for wood this place is wonderfully decorated and designed with tons of hard wood and lovely grained surfaces for you to oodle your eyes over. check it out and caress the wood. Rent the balcony for your own crew, or catch an event. Whatever you do, just drink the damn beer and have a good time! If you still aren't convinced let me tell you this. I lived in Rolla for several years and Public House was my go to place. Once I graduated and moved to Kansas City I figured there would be tons of options! 2 years in an I'm still looking for my go to brewery that I enjoy as much as Public House, and trust me I've been working hard and long at finding one. read more

While I was visiting my always lovely in-laws in Rolla, we decided to check out the town's (only) brew pub. We decided to check it out after a rousing dinner. While I am not a beer expert, I have been known to enjoy a brew or two in my time and I was pleasantly surprised at what I saw here. First off, the decor is pretty impressive. You can tell that the owners really want to make sure that this place looks good. It reminds me of a Bridge in St. Louis except the wood is a bit darker. Also the layout is pretty neat as well. However we were there for the board games and beer. I ended up with a sampler which was served with paired with chocolate. I suck at pairing beers with food so this was pretty neat. I really enjoyed the Mild and Hefeweizen selections. Next time I visit Rolla, I'll have to stop by there with a growler because it was worth it. I really didn't get any food but from what I could taste, the beer was pretty good. Nothing too overpowering, just good beer and a relaxing atmosphere. Next time I'll have to get some food but from what I saw, it warrants 4 stars. Definitely a place to visit if you're in Rolla! read more
