Nice! Great selection of beers on tap. Hubby and I were bar hopping so we didn't eat but this place was our third spot. Glad we came by! Our bartender Tyler (I think was his name) very nice guy. Place wasn't packed but the orders were coming in left and right and he was working hard but never forgot us. Will come again to try the food! read more

Shame to see this place go. It was a spot I'd stop by in between my anime con or exploring sac. It was a cool vibe for sure however, being it was always in passing and never a grand stop. Makes sense? The caeser salad was good. You served a good purpose! read more

Have been coming here for over a decade now, maybe longer! My go-to is the chicken club half sandwich for lunch, with criss cut fries bc they're amazing! I also love the wings (sweet chili is my fave) and the giant pretzel! Tonight I ordered a full sandwich and the criss cut fries. Fries were a 10/10, but the sandwich although HUGE, was lacking in flavor this time and the chicken was super thin and the sandwich was 70% greens. I appreciate the reward points and the quick service. I sometimes go for lunch with co-workers and it's pretty great for group and not super crazy either to where we can still chat and get good service! I'll def be back. :) read more

We absolutely love coming here when we are in Sacramento for either an event or just visiting friends. The chicken wings are bomb. I mean bomb. The pizza is like a small pizza and it is combo half price on the appetizers for happy hour. We always extra-order food because we like it so much. The pizza is outstanding. If you could hear my voice, it was different tones, but it is so yummy. In the heart of downtown. Definitely a must try. They have fish and chips baskets, with fries Half off their appetizers on happy hour. We've been here when it's not happy hour and their salads are definitely scrumptious also. Our server was great. David was awesome ! Super attentive super friendly! read more

Ordered buffalo wings, an espresso martini, and an old fashion Buffalo wings 9/10 Pretty good! Large wings An order comes with 7 pieces both flats and drums We got bone in with buffalo sauce The sauce isn't spicy at first but gets spicier as you keep eating Comes with 2 sides of ranch and 2 celery sticks What was surprising is that the wings still had a crunch when you bite into them even though they're drowned in sauce which i appreciated. Espresso martini 9/10 It was light in the coffee, mixed well, smooth and you could still taste the alcohol Old fashion 7/10 It was pretty bitter Service was quick we were seated in less than 4 min and our drinks and food came out quickly Ambiance is pretty casual here, they have a pretty small menu when it comes to food. More of a bar atmosphere. read more

Very sad this restaurant is closing, but so glad I was able to get in for its final day. The staff was incredibly friendly. Our waiter was Calvin and he was so kind. They were running low on food options because they were closing, but we were able to get a giant pretzel. It was absolutely delicious. We also had the Truly Wild Berry from Boston Beer Co and it was delicious. read more

I'm here at least once a week (more during football season). The staff from hostess to bartenders to the manager are all very welcoming, and hospitable putting an emphasis on great service. Everything we've ever ordered has been tasty. They have delicious pizzas, very generous proportioned salads, good fries, great wings, huge nachos, tasty avocado egg rolls and an amazing brownie sundae dessert. They have a lot of tvs to watch any and all sports that are airing. We like going for trivia on Wednesday's the host Tommy is awesome and has a really fun version. read more

Great place to catch a game and have a cold one. Staff is friendly. Even when they're busy they still take the time to check on you. They accommodate to your needs. Pizza was tasty. Only complaint, for all meat pizza you expect a little more topping. Other than that, a pretty solid pizza. The vibe is friendly, definitely a good sports bar. Stop by if you haven't. read more

This is a great spot for a chill afternoon and a couple drinks with friends. Bartenders are super friendly and check in regularly without being overwhelming. Food is good! My favorite is the prosciutto pizza, which also has arugula, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and truffle oil! The truffle oil makes it, if you ask me. Perfect with beer or glass of red. If you're in the area for business or pleasure and need a place to hang, I highly recommend this one! read more

The dude and I went to the Public House on 6/27/23 and 6/28/23. We were in town for his job and me must to tag along and explore . We came just for happy which was the move 100% as I personally think they have the best happy hour in Sac! You can't beat the high quality food and drinks that are so mouthwatering tasting. Every bite we were in awe! It was probably the price that made it taste even. better ! Just some humor but the food was sooooo tasty! Our severs were so wonderful and knowledgeable about the menu. We jammed out to the music and the atmosphere was so delightful. We did patio and inside and both experiences we so lovely. The nachos were so good and the pizza was so tasty . I don't eat meat now but I would definitely get the pizza again ! Highly recommend. We cannot wait to come back soon! read more

The pizza was excellent. We ordered a pepperoni and the public house combo. Both were fantastic. My little loved the pepperoni pizza. They brought out a cute kids water cup for her too. They had happy hour until 6 and the pizzas were half off! The restaurant has more of a bar vibe. All the TVs were playing sports and there was music playing. Overall great experience and I would return again. read more

The Christmas decorations was a nice touch for the holidays and the amount of screens around the bar make it a nice place to sip on a beer while watching a game. The parking lot across the street is convenient and the service was friendly, but the food was just alright. Every item I got was fried terribly, some over done and some just overly thick. The Nashville Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich was not spicy at all and the chicken was fried till it was dried. The fish tacos would have been decent if it wasn't smothered in sriracha. My fiance and I ended our meal with the OMG because it sounded good, fried carrot cake with ice cream and pecans.When it arrived, it looked like a hot mess. Again, the batter was too thick and carrot cake was thin and just broke apart. I much rather have a regular carrot cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled on a pecan caramel sauce. read more

"oh, no! What could improve?" Everything! lol Food is typical bar food, nothing bad but nothing to rave or go back for. The service was the worst part. It wasn't busy, but there were empty tables left dirty, and the staff just didn't seem attentive. We didn't get waters, the kids' drinks were never refilled, and our server asked if we wanted another round until after we were done eating. Best to sit at the bar for a quick beer & that's about it. read more

This place is definitely a go-to when in the city for a conference. Service is top notch and the ambiance is fun. It can get loud and packed when there's a game on; however, this place is big enough to accommodate large groups. The food is delicious! Their pizzas are delicious and worth it!

Great place for happy hour! Value 10/10 - 1/2 price pizzas about $8-10 after the discount Food 7.5/10 - my parents shared a burger and the meat was dry, the skinny fries are good. The HH pizzas are good, the crust is thin, crispy and chewy. The HH wings sweet chili is better than the buffalo wings. The buffalo wings were too salty. The avocado egg rolls were just average. Service 8/10 - Server was nice, but it took a while to get refills and my check Ambiance - 8/10 - it's pretty dark inside, so my aging dad had a hard time seeing. read more

I've popped in here several times before catching a show at Crest or play at SAFE credit union. There's a lot of parking options nearby, including street parking. I have walked in several times, without much of a wait, but reservations are available on resy.com. They have a rectangle bar in the middle of the restaurant with seating surrounding. There are TVs on the bar for easy game viewing. They also have several booth tables along the walls with a select tables on the far side. They also have a decent size outdoor space that you can utilize during the hot summer nights. We always start with the large soft pretzel, because how can you ever pass that up on the menu? It truly is massive (big or bigger than a head) and can feed 3-4 people as an appetizer. It's nice and soft and comes with two dips. They have a lot of beer on tap and indicate the local beers on their menu so you can try something from nearby. They have preselected beer flight options to take out the guess work. They also have several cocktails (and mocktails), and a variety of wine. The spicy chicken sandwich was delicious! Perfect amount of kick without making the entire sandwich overwhelming. The slaw helped offset the spice, and provided a fun crunch. Every time the waiters are very attentive and great. They come and check on you for refills or more food, but I've never felt rushed or bothered by them. read more

TDLR: Food & drink as excellent the kitchen really knows what they're doing! The wings and fries are some of the best I've had in Sacramento. The ambiance is nice and the place is well kept up. Comfortable spot for drinks with friends. 4/5 stars due to the service severely decreasing at shift change. The first bartender was very friendly and accommodating with great recommendations. The second bartender who was servicing us completely ignored us and seems generally annoyed to with us being there. Full Review: The drinks and food here are excellent. Stopped by with my out of town friend for a catch up session. We both really enjoyed the fries and lemon pepper wings. The fries are well seasoned and crispy, some of the best I've had in Sacramento. The wings were juicy, pipping hot, and perfectly fried. The ambiance inside is really nice with a midtown feel. I love the way the place is set up and the bar has hooks for your bag, which is always appreciated. The service here started out really great, we were greeted and directed to the bar for self seating rather quickly. The first bartender attending us was very friendly and made easy conversation. He offered great recommendations and offered alternatives when we couldn't decide between lemon pepper and buffalo wings. He let us know we could get the buffalo on the side for dipping instead. At some point he must have clocked out because the next bartender was much less responsive and over all seemed bothered that we were there. Our wings came out wrong initially with all buffalo, so we politely let the runner know who then reported to the new bartender. After this we were pretty much ignored having to flag down the bartender for any request. We wanted to order more food and drinks but honestly couldn't get her attention for longer than a few seconds, if that. When checking out we had let the previous bartender know we would be splitting the check when he took my card to open a tab. This seemed not to have been communicated at his leaving because when we asked to close the tab the girl walked away so fast my friend couldn't even open her purse before she charged my card for the full visit. At this point, we were fed up with the treatment and flagged down the bar back to explain we wanted to split the check. He let her know, luckily she was able to reverse the charge and split the check. read more

We will start with the good...if you're interested in watching a game, they have TVs and a large selection of beers on tap. Everything else, not so great. We ordered the prosciutto pizza and Cobb salad. Domino's Pizza is better! And I don't even like Domino's. The Cobb wasn't terrible but the chicken that came with it was dryer than....dry. The bartender, Ariana, was very busy because nobody else was doing much. They need to hire more bartenders and less wait staff. There were about five people standing around chatting or on their phones while Ariana was helping the people at the bar. No, I don't know Ariana. Just looked at the receipt to get her name. The hostess sat in the back by the kitchen with the rest of the crew and waited to see people walk in then go to the entrance and assist them. One couple came in and were looking around and then she asked if they needed something. The management appeared to be there which is concerning. I guess they are fine with this type of service. I say go if you have low to zero expectations or if you are a regular. read more

We dined here on a busy Saturday night with a small group. Our orders were taken fairly promptly. Although we ordered first, our food arrived very late. They seemed to have forgotten our pizza as the other four people we were dining with all had drinks and food by the time the server noticed we didn't have food. The drinks were great for most of us. One of the drinks for our group arrived with unwelcome guests, gnats in the ice cubes. The server promptly removed the contaminated drink and provided another one, comped. When our pizza finally arrived, it was just average. The mushrooms were a little off putting for my taste. They had a weird consistency. We probably wouldn't come back here if we were in the area. read more

Rating 4.2 Great spot to watch the game and hang out downtown. Variety of food options, I went with the Famous Brandy Chicken wings...and I will say they looked great and crunchy. The taste aka flavor was lacking big time. Each bite I took, I was hoping for some seasoning, flavor, taste, but did not get it. Though, the crispyness and crunch was undeniably delicious, the wings lacked flavor. Old Fashion drinks was spot on sith the big ice cube..iykyk read more

Good spot for food, drinks, and sports! Staff wasn't the most attentive. Our waitress seemed a bit stressed and forgot a lot of our items. Happy hour was only mentioned after we ordered, which was unfortunate. Food: -steak sandwich -kids chicken strip -public house burger -chicken caesar salad I can only speak on the chicken caesar, but it was standard, as expected. Off the HH menu: HH nacho tots HH pesto pizza HH avocado eggroll All three of these were good! Definitely come back here for their HH! Street parking only. read more

I was visiting friends in Sacramento. During that weekend, our group visited "Public House Downtown" twice. On the first trip, we had beers (only) at the bar while watching sports. On the second occasion, we had beer, pizza and salad--while at the bar watching sports. Food quality is better than "pub grub". It's real restaurant food. The service was really good. The bartender/waitress and food runner/busser were really on top of things. I do not consider this place a "sports bar". It's a nice restaurant that happens to have some really good TVs and is a booster of the local sports teams. By the way ... I think this restaurant may have once been branded as "Firestone Public House". read more

It was just okay. It's been along time since I've been here. The food was good, the drinks were not, and the service was good, but it was so busy our waitstaff didn't check up on us. We waited a long time to get our check and had to ask someone to go get them. I will say that they were very accommodating when I sent my drinks back because they did not taste good. I did not like the peach mule or apple cider. The sour patch cocktail tasted a little weird. It does not taste anything like sour patches. The Reuben was really good and so were the waffles. They serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday along with lunch/dinner. They played music kind of loud, but not so loud that you can't comfortably talk to the person next to you. I like the vibe. read more

Public house is my go-to spot to watch sports in midtown! They have a great happy hour until 6pm which is half off pizzas and appetizers and drink specials. The service is generally good and bar tenders are always very friendly, especially Chris. Wednesday they have wing specials. My favorite things here are pizza, wings and their brunch. They have decent bloody Mary's as well. During a big game or football season you have to go ahead and it can get packed, but generally I've always had good service here. They always have a great selection of beer and drinks too! There is plenty of metered street parking however can be hard to find a spot sometimes. There is indoor and outdoor seating, but since so many windows I enjoy sitting inside so you can watch all the tv and there's still great lighting! read more

The Bavarian pretzel is a great appetizer, boasting a perfectly golden-brown crust with a soft, chewy interior, served with a cheesy pimento and a mustard dip that complements its salty flavor. The fish and chips impress with crispy, beer-battered fish that flaked easily accompanied by criss-cut fries and a tangy tartar sauce, making for a satisfying classic. Meanwhile, the BBQ chicken pizza balances sweet and smoky flavors, featuring tender pieces of chicken atop a well-cooked crust with mild spicy BBQ sauce and a medley of toppings that provide a delightful contrast in texture and taste. Overall, each dish was satisfying. I like the entire vibe of the place with pretty eclectic music playing and a lot of TV's around the restaurant. Our server could have been a little more attentive but all were very pleasant and helpful when you needed someone. read more

My first time at public house and I don't think I would come here for anything but drinks. My friends and I went during happy hour (Monday -Friday from 3pm to 6pm) which has great prices. We ordered a pizza it had a good flavor but the crust was so hard it hurt just to bite into it. The pizza was a good size more like medium size, payed no more than $8. Also, ordered the public house wings it comes with a choice of three different dipping sauces for 10 pieces of wings. The wings cost $6.25. I liked how crispy they were but had no type of seasoning. I ordered a cocktail which was $3 off. The service is good. Our server was very attentive. We were seated right away for it being a Friday. I was not a fan of their nachos they put ranch on them. The nachos cost $7.50. The nachos had pulled pork and the meat was good. I thought the tater tots had a good flavor too them as well and a good size portion. The tater tots were $5.75. If you're looking for a place to watch a sport game this is a great place they have multiple tvs. read more

Super mainstream and the wings were a little dry. Beer was moderately cold maybe need to clean the lines. Don't plan on coming back.

A bit pricey but it's worth it for the quality of the food which was excellent. Elevated pub fare but they are not a one trick pony. In fact I got the skirt steak with enchiladas and was some of the best of both I've eaten! FOOD: The food is delicious! The skirt steak was cooked perfectly (I asked for it medium and that's what I got - can't tell you how many times that is not the case) but the flavor was also excellent. And the cheese enchiladas hit that balance between red sauce and cheese and tortillas just right. And what a great sauce. Flavorful and bold. The chili was delicious. Not thick but full of flavor. And the wings were from a mutant chicken they were so big but good. SERVICE: Definitely on the higher end. My food came out cold at first but they got me a fresh plate right away. Wish they had checked up on us a little more but when they did they were helpful and super polite. COST: Honestly not bad at all. Again a bit pricey but not out of line for the area. We are in the middle of convention central! read more

Stop in with some friends after watching the World Cup earlier that day. It was pretty busy here at the time, because morning football was on at the time. So we stood around the bar for a few minutes white a table opened up in the back of the restaurant. A table opened up maybe 5-10 minutes after we arrived, so we asked the hostess for that table and seated a few minutes later. So waited maybe another 10 minutes before a waitress came to take our order, probably due to the restaurant being pretty busy. After our hostess greeted us we all ordered a beer each, my friends friend order a wing appetizer and I ordered the BBQ pizza. I'm not sure how long we waited, but with chatting and a number of games on. It didn't seem like it took long at all to get our meals and drinks. The pizza overall was pretty good; decently sized for 1-2 people, not overwhelmingly in pizza thickness. read more

We arrived at 3:45 to enjoy happy hour. The hostess came after a few minutes and seated us at a booth. The hostess did a good job providing water and lemons. Initially, there were visibly three employees with two behind the bar. Also, not a lot of patrons so once someone directed Alyssa to our table we were able to order immediately because we knew what we wanted. After ordering we were able to get fresh pizzas, boneless wings, avocado egg rolls, and waffle fries. Our waitress, Alyssa hardly paid attention to our table but only came twice. I also had to ask other employees to get her attention to provide us to go containers. Since there was hardly any customers I felt that if Alyssa was more attentive to her customers then services would have been 5 stars. In short, food 5 stars highly recommend. Services with Alyssa 1 star because as a customer I should receive stellar service. Do better. read more

Came here with a friend tonight during happy hour, which is 3-6 Monday-Friday. They have lots of great deals for happy hour, like $5 well drinks, $7 cocktails, and half off of most of their pizzas and appetizers (except for the shrimp pizza and spicy edamame). I ordered a couple of cranberry and vodkas, and he ordered a couple of tall beers. We shared the pulled pork nachos and the barbecue chicken pizza. The nachos were amazing. I think these are my official new favorite happy hour nachos. They were piled high, and smothered in toppings, as they should be. The pulled pork was very tasty, and the guacamole was fresh. We didn't even finish them all, but they were so good. I would absolutely come back to order those nachos again. The pizza was good, but not great. The combination of fontina cheese with chipotle barbecue sauce was nowhere near as flavorful as expected. It wasn't exactly bland, but it lacked pizzaz. I would definitely not order that pizza again. For a Thursday night, it was pretty noisy, although my friend informed me that it gets much noisier on the weekends. The TVs are very well placed, so that no matter where you're sitting, you can watch whichever game you want. The ambiance is sleek, clean, and modern, for a sports bar. Overall, great food, great service, and great happy hour prices. I would definitely like to come back here again. read more
