Cynthia R.

I went before a show at Middle C Jazz, great place to grab a quick bite or drink before or after a show. I wanted something light yet filling so got the tomato soup added grilled cheese. That soup was so delish. Grilled cheese was good but I mean it's just cheese and bread so not much to say there lol. I sat at the bar and was served immediately. The place seems to be extremely popular for the after work crowd since they are right below Wells Fargo. Only thing I wasn't a fan of with their menu is that their sandwiches don't come with a side, In this expensive day and age, selling a sandwich and fries separately is kinda ridiculous to me.

Food was good. My favorite was a house made potato chips, freshly made and packed with flavor. Staff was nice. A cute Sports bar theme. Walking distance from our hotel - conveniently located and worth the walk. The weather was beautiful

Great late night find if you're looking for a spot where the kitchen keeps up with the bar - no "kitchen closed" signs here even well after midnight. The beer list is legitimately impressive; easily one of the most extensive and well curated selections I've seen in a while. Whether you're a crisp-Pilsner purest or hunting for something obscure, they've got you covered. Food wise, solid overall. The Brussels sprouts were on point unfortunately the chicharrones fell flat as they were drowned in hot sauce which made them soggy almost immediately. Tip - Try them with the sauce on the side. Spot was quiet on a Wednesday night and the vibe was laid back and unpretentious. This made for efficient service. Not sure how a busier night would unfold. Give this spot a visit simply for the late night beers, bites, and chill vibes.

The Wedge

The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming. The balsamic drizzle on the wedge salad really took it to the next level!

We were looking for a cheaper restaurant in the area verse some of the other restaurants in the area. Our hotel mentioned this place.. it was very good and drinks were outstanding.

This restaurant is walkable distance from Nascar hall of fame, excellent for hanging out with a group and to watch sports on giant TV. They got a huge bar and a massive dining area. The restaurant in general has dark ambiance lighting with some sunlight from the front. I got the waffle and chicken from brunch menu. The waffle was really good but the chicken could have been more moist. The hot chicken biscuit was a good sandwich. We switched my fries for a salad, but then later found out I was charged for it. The staff were friendly. Food didn't take too long to come out. It was a decent place to grab a casual quick bite.

Peach Cider, not bad!

How can you NOT give a spot that serves an excellent Grilled Chicken Sandwich and beer till 2am?! I wish every major city had a spot like The Public House. That's coming from a person that lives in Chicago, an amazing food town.

Expired lime
Anna R.

This was a bad experience, plain and simple. My friend sent her burger back because it was wrong. When it came back, it was clearly the same burger with something scraped off -- and now it was overcooked on top of that. On top of that she is allergic to the thing the scraped off. That is completely unacceptable and honestly gross. If a dish is wrong, it should be remade, not altered and re-served. I also ordered two beers and the limes that came in them were old and expired . I do want to note that the hostess was the only bright spot. She genuinely tried to make things right and was apologetic, but there's only so much she can do when the kitchen handles a situation this poorly. Between the food safety concerns and the lack of basic quality control, I won't be returning.

Brownie dessert

Brownie was stale and chalky. Staff were inattentive despite it not being busy. Did not bring water even after being asked. Disappointing.

Tomato soup
Santos J.

We were beyond impressed!! We flew from Los Angeles to Charlotte and I would go back again just to eat here !! Everything and I mean everything was absolutely delicious!! I took a bite of my wife's burger and wanted to order another one to go just to take it back to LA lol . My tomato soup was perfect. Chicken parmigiana was fresh , hot , cheesy and scrumptious! Would give 11 stars if I could ! Well done Public House

Highly recommend! Came here on a Sunday evening before flying back home to Michigan. Plenty of seats to choose from but that might have been due to the rain. Located on a well-lit corner downtown is this bar/restaurant. The bar has an inside portion, as well as an outside bar rail that opens to the patio. TONS of alcoholic & non-alcoholic drink options. Vast food menu that will leave you indecisive. We are gluten free and we still had a ton of options. The bartender also has allergies, so she understood the assignment. Casual attire. Street or garage parking. Good for groups!

Old fashion
Sara W.

We came in on a Thursday at 10 pm, and it was dead, but only for a short while. There were no table service, I appreciated them telling us we needed to order at the bar; thus, we sat at the bar. The bartenders were wonderful and very helpful. Their old fashions were awesome. It was nice to find a place that knows how to make them. My partner got the wedge, which he really liked. I got the parmesan chicken sandwich, recommended from the bartender, and fries. That sandwich was or as he called it . It was amazing. I wish I hadn't shared it with my partner. It was so good, I woke up thinking about it this morning. The fries were also REALLY good. They had the perfect seasoning on them you didn't even need ketchup. Overall, this was an awesome place to eat I would go back here in a heartbeat. Tip : after 6pm parking on the streets near it is free.

This is a bar for the GIRLS I was so pleasantly surprised when my partner and I came here and it…read morewas just the cutest little bar We came here to pre game dinner and it was a great experience the seating in here is limited but we had no problem finding a seat on the weekend. They have a bunch of different weekly things that go on here such as movie nights and so on. This is not a bar where guys can be dude bros this is definitely where the girls come to gossip and have little snacks and I love everything about that. The only men I saw here were with women and I think that was 3 including mine ABSOLUTELY coming back with friends and ordering a bunch of appetizers and drinks everything here looks as good as it tastes and the drinks are strong! The staff here is super sweet and just lovely

Found this gem of a cocktail bar last minute. To be honest, I feel embarrassed that I haven't come…read morehere yet. They've been here 2.5 years and from my first experience , they are absolutely crushing it. Dim lighting, beautiful bar design in a smaller space, and 90's-2000's hip hop was the perfect mix for a chill Friday night. Niaget took care of us at the bar (please forgive me if I got the spelling wrong!) and she is clearly a well trained mixologist. Cocktail menu is unique and the ingredients might seem a little far out, but trust the process. The drink pictured below was a bourbon-based (Old Forrester) custom cocktail that Niaget threw together. Hints of pineapple & mint mixed with my favorite brand bourbon made this an honest treat. I will be tossing this cocktail bar onto my favorites list and can't wait to go back.
