Bacon Jam Public House Burger
Michelle R.

I had the Bacon Jam Burger...very tasty! The fries were "so so". Our server was extremely friendly and came by to check on us regularly! We were here when they first opened, so it wasn't too busy or loud. Not 5 star...food wasn't worthy of that rating. Also, they had no posted hours (on the door, website, or voicemail when I called in)...

The bartender was super friendly and gave us hotel recommendations. Food wasn't what I thought it would be. We were so excited to visit after seeing it on bar rescue and I was sad none of the sisters were there.

I heard the food sucks here. It's a spot to drink and not eat. :) chill spot tho!

What's not to love about this spot! It's at the ballpark and the food is delicious as always ! It's very crowded on game days just so you know and they get you drinks pretty fast from the bar, only deducted stars cause it's kinda a free fall when trying to find your own table, but a definite plus is you can enter stadium from restaurant! Go Giants!!!

A little packed but good vibes. My first time visiting. It's a first come first serve kinda place. You have to kinda wait a while and run for the first table that opens. We only waited like 5 min luckily. Our waiter was a little moody and non existent but the Manager was very nice. We ordered the nachos and they were packed full of flavor and the wings were just as good. The drinks were strong and delicious as well. I would definitely return to this place on my next Giants Game visit. Would have given this place 5stars if it wasn't for the service we got. Maybe it will be better next time ‍

Steak and Fries
Stefanie C.

It was a dark and stormy night. My friends and I had just wrapped up our Dungeons & Dragons campaign for the evening and wanted to go out to dinner... somewhere relatively close by and inexpensive. We'd gone to Epic Steak before, but it was a little too far to walk or bus in the rain. Someone suggested Public House, which was a brilliant idea. No one would be here during the baseball off-season. We walked in and found the place to be relatively empty, except for an alumni party happening in a semi-private section of the restaurant. Our waiter was super friendly and chill. He sat us at a giant table because why not? We ordered a pitcher of IPA, some fries, and dinner. I got the steak with garlic butter, which seemed appropriate for the environment. It was surprisingly good. I always assumed that "touristy" food would be subpar. Looking around, Public House is a great place to host parties or watch the game. I would never come here during a game day because I can't deal with crowds, but that's the perk of living walking distance from AT&T Park. Enjoy all the eateries when no one else is there. I'd definitely come here again!

Attached to the ballpark and probably packed on game days. Stopped by on a walk by the ballpark on a Sunday during nfl. You'd think with games on it'd be more crowded but it was pretty empty. Sat for a good 15 minutes with no acknowledgement. Our server was terrible, inattentive, a little rude. French fries were mediocre at best. After a few drinks it became apparent why nobody comes here. Would never stop in again unless I had to use the restroom.

The kegs and TV

Decided to come here in the off-season before the games start. Always such a crowd on game day that I don't even bother anymore. Amazingly on Saturday night we walked in to an almost empty place and sat down to watch a Warriors game. It was nice to sit down with just a few other patrons there, have a burger, some mini corn dogs, some beers and nachos. Now don't laugh, but I love their nachos. They don't drown it in salsa to the point where the chips get flimsy. It is mostly beans and guacamole and the nachos are served on a crispy baked tortilla as well. Really great! The burger and onion rings were perfect along with the mini corn dogs. What really works in the offseason is that you can watch sports on multiple stations just as if you were your own living room and not having to deal with too many people if that is your preference.

So have you heard about the Impossible Burger? Well, Jamie W. read about it and thought we should try it here since we are on a continual quest to eat healthier. Sure, we've had veggie burgers before, some really good ones like the Black Bean Chipotle Veggie Burger at the Garden Grill up in Guerneville (photo: http://bit.ly/2sn9ifr) and our personal favorite, the Butterbean Burger at the Boiler Room Oyster Bar in Kinston, North Carolina (photo: http://bit.ly/2sAkJAS). So we were intrigued enough by this all-plant variation that we ordered a couple of the $14 ones they served here where our previous dining experiences involved jalapeno poppers, deviled eggs, their regular PH burger, and oh yeah, beer on tap to facilitate the guzzling of such cholesterol-infested grub. Well, apparently there is no cholesterol in an Impossible Burger nor antibiotics nor meat of any kind. What gives the burger its meaty flavor is heme, which is the non-protein, insoluble, iron protoporphyrin constituent of hemoglobin. Say what? I just copy-pasted that from an online medical dictionary, but that's what makes the patty look, smell, sizzle, bleed, and taste like a regular burger (photo: http://bit.ly/2rgs1pq). And amazingly it did. I was dumbfounded how a vegan burger could taste so carnivorous, but it did even if beef purists likely balk at the notion. It came with provolone melted on top with caramelized onions and a smoke & spice sauce to give it even more of a barbecue flavor (photo: http://bit.ly/2szkciw). Hell, I liked it. But it's not a perfect substitute since it has five times the sodium and more saturated fats than a regular burger. It's also about the same number of calories in case you are counting, about 220 calories for the patty itself. Give us credit though since we did add the $3 Mixed Greens as a side rather than the fries and ignored the free chips on our plates (photo: http://bit.ly/2rgljQn). We also went with a $6 order of the Crispy Cauliflower with Sweet Pepper Relish, which was a pretty healthy choice for a bar bite (photo: http://bit.ly/2t0UJvO). The vibe was still the same since it first opened, still an extravaganza of flatscreen TVs in a warehouse-size space with a lot of loud youngsters. Regardless, I'd still come back for the Impossible Burger. It was delish...and so good for me? FOOD - 4 stars...that Impossible Burger seems kinda impossible and a bit overpriced but the meatiness tastes real AMBIANCE - 2.5 stars...same loud, cavernous bar it's been since it opened SERVICE - 3 stars...perhaps tired from his shift, the first server seemed bored with us from the outset but the second was more enthusiastic TOTAL - 4 stars...definitely will come back for the Impossible Burger

Impossible burger and fries $17
Lexi R.

I came here to try the impossible burger. Walking in, I really like the ambiance of this sports bar. It's located right under at&t park. You can sit wherever you choose: the bar, the high top tables, at normals tables, or outside. There are TVs everywhere, so it's a good spot to watch sports. The impossible burger was just okay. Paired with sweet potato fries, it came it to $17 before tax and tip. Kind of steep. The consistency was a little closer to real meat than other veggie burgers I've tried, but the flavor was still off. Glad I tried it once though and at least the fries were yummy! I would come back to this place to watch a game and try some of the other foods they have to offer, but I probably wouldn't order the impossible burger again.

Roshni G.

Everything was 5 stars, Service, food, cleaniness, speed etc but I think it's wayyyyy over priced. Our lunch was over $75! Crazy! Just upgrade from chips to fries will cost like $3 extra smh. We came just for the impossible burger and it was good but a little dry. I wish I added avcado.

Marissa F.

Oh it was fine. The beer was good, it was quiet. Service was nice. The public house burger was on point!! The chips- delicious!!! I'm sure for game day it would be Poppin' Nothing that particularly stood out here for me. Overall good

mac and cheese fritters
Fred T.

We have been back and at the last game decided it was time to update my review. Public House was one of my first reviews here on Yelp........ Ah memories........ Its still holding onto its solid 4 stars. Its still pretty chaotic and they should perhaps explain the process better to people who have never been there. That being said, we did not have to wait long and soon found ourselves a table (carnival seating for those that have never been). Lots of draft beer to chose from and the food was good as always. For this meal: Truffle Mac and Cheese Fritters: The only letdown. I know better and always order it, but the cheap truffle oil is always a disappointment. The fritters were well fried but the mac and cheese was mostly mac and needed more cheese. It was also a bit bland. We asked for a side of BBQ sauce and that kicked them up. Corn: The Elotes was good, but I would prefer it grilled instead of boiled but perhaps that is more of a personal taste thing. The PH Burger: with bacon and the works it was really good. Cooked medium rare as requested it was juicy. The bun did not make it through the meal. The side salad was perfectly dressed and had really fresh greens. My son also had a burger with fries and the fries were well cooked and properly seasoned. Again the big plus to this place is that the beers are better, cheaper, can be put into a plastic cup to take into the stadium, and they have an entrance right in the back of the restaurant. The only caveat is that if it is a giveaway day, you do not get that item at this eneterance.

I think it would also be great to catch Sunday football since their TVs are humongous. The service here was top notch. We snuck in on a Friday at 4:45 and were able to order really quickly before happy hour ended at 5pm. Happy hour is a bit pricey, but the food was good. We had the following: - poke nachos 5/5 - margarita pizza - 4/5 - pepperoni pizza - 5/5 - popcorn chicken - 4/5 - truffle fries - 5/5 Cocktails were great at $10 for happy hour. The espresso martini and banana daiquiri slushee were delicious. I heard the banana hammock was a bit strong. Love their mushroom CBD drinks too!

** ONE STAR -- WOULD GIVE ZERO IF I COULD! WHAT HAPPENED TO SPLASH? FROM MY 5-STAR EXPERIENCE IN…read moreMARCH TO THIS COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT!** I am genuinely questioning what is going on at Splash at Thrive City! On **March 1, 2026, I visited Splash and had such an outstanding experience that I gave the establishment a FIVE-STAR review.** The experience was positive enough that I looked forward to returning. Fast-forward to **Saturday, October 17, 2026, for the Louïe Brunch event**, and I honestly cannot believe this is the same establishment! **WHAT HAPPENED TO THE QUALITY, SERVICE, AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL?** We attended expecting an enjoyable afternoon of food, cocktails, music, and the special experiences advertised. Unfortunately, this event did not come remotely close to meeting expectations! **FIRST, THE FOOD WAS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!** We were served UNDERCOOKED CALAMARI! After bringing the issue to their attention, we received a replacement burger and fries. **THE FRIES WERE ICE COLD!** Seriously, Splash? TWO opportunities to serve an acceptable meal, and BOTH were disappointing! Where is the kitchen oversight? Where is the quality control? How does an establishment that previously earned five stars from me fail so miserably at something as basic as preparing and serving food? **AND THE DISAPPOINTMENT DIDN'T STOP THERE!** The Louïe Brunch advertised brunch bites, Aperol Spritz cocktails, promotional merchandise, Polaroid souvenirs, and entertainment. We expected TWO souvenir pictures, one for each of us, and did not receive them! We also witnessed promotional towels being handed to certain guests while others received nothing. No clear explanation, no apparent consistency, and certainly not the organized experience we expected. **THE EVENT WAS OVERPROMISED AND UNDERDELIVERED!** We made plans and dedicated part of our Saturday to attending. We expected an event worthy of Splash's location at Thrive City. Instead, we received undercooked food, ice-cold replacement fries, unfulfilled souvenir expectations, and inconsistent merchandise distribution. A colorful Aperol Spritz and attractive venue do not compensate for a disappointing experience! **THE BEST PART OF THE DAY? THE GOLDEN STATE VALKYRIES WON GAME 1!** Thankfully, the Valkyries delivered something worth celebrating, because Splash certainly did not! **WHAT MAKES THIS EVEN MORE DISAPPOINTING IS THAT I KNOW SPLASH CAN DO BETTER!** I gave Splash FIVE STARS on March 1 because that visit earned them. This time, ONE STAR feels generous! I am not sure what has changed with management, staffing, kitchen operations, or event execution, but something clearly needs attention. **SPLASH MANAGEMENT -- YOU NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER!** Whatever standards were in place when I visited in March need to be restored. Customers should not have to gamble on whether they will receive a five-star experience or a complete disappointment. I have photographs documenting the food, the replacement meal, and the advertised event. **BOTTOM LINE: SPLASH WENT FROM A FIVE-STAR EXPERIENCE TO A ONE-STAR DISAPPOINTMENT IN JUST OVER SEVEN MONTHS!** I previously recommended this establishment. After this experience, I cannot do so with confidence. **Unless Splash makes meaningful improvements, I WILL NOT BE BACK!** The Valkyries earned their victory. **Splash lost a previously satisfied customer.**

It also gets pretty full before Giants games since the bar is only a few blocks away from the ballpark. It's also a great place to meet people too... I've met individuals from all over the world including Peru, Argentina, Germany and Japan just to name a few. First off, you cannot go here without trying the Wisconsin Cheese Curds. I have personally been to Green Bay and I must say that these are the closest I've ever had to the real thing, no doubt. They're crispy, soft and oh soooo cheesy!! I also love how for every Packers touchdown, us real fans get jell-o shots! Fun fact: The tradition of the shots was started by a lady named Jackie... Real sweetheart! Well, she sadly passed away about two years ago, but they still continue that tradition and even dedicated her a nice plaque that's proudly displayed on the wall. Also, if you're a fan of bleu cheese, you'll definitely want to try out the NY Steak Sandwich as it comes with a yummy bleu cheese aioli! Even as a regular, just know it's kind of hard to get the bartender's attention if you want to order a drink or food as it gets kind of hectic around the bar area on game days. Don't be shy... Just wave em down and they're super chill and happy to take your order:)
