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. read more

My mom and I were in town for ChosenCon and staying nearby -- we wanted something light to eat before heading back in for panels, and online this place said it had wine and charcuterie which we thought would be perfect. We came in at a time when it wasn't really busy, but it took forever for our server to come around. Ordered two glasses of red and the cheese plate only to be told after we received the wine that there was no charcuterie -- at all. Not a "need to substitute" or "we're missing one of the items" just completely 86ed. Despite being prominently featured at the top of the menu! Since we already had our wine, we had to order something else. I went with the cheese sticks, and my mom ordered a hamburger based on what the table next to us had. When she got her burger though, despite us ordering the same as the table next to us, it was a completely different burger. She ate it anyway and my cheese sticks were okay for pub food. But overall, a really disappointing experience based on what we expected. And we had to hunt down the server to pay so we could get back to the conference on time. read more

This place is okay. I came here with some friends on a cold Thursday night and we were able to get a table with no problem. Service was friendly, although I would say our server didn't know anything about the beers but in her defense, they had a large variety of beers on tap. They are quick to mention that the food comes out when it's ready, so the food we got for the six people in my party came out over a period of about 15 minutes. Since that was disclosed up front, I didn't think it's an issue but if you're someone who wants to wait until everyone is served before digging in, you may have to eat cold food. I had mac and cheese and it was pretty good. Overall, this is an acceptable place to eat. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

The Public House - Peach Cider, not bad! - Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

Ordered drinks and food from the bar with my wife before a show. Started on our drinks and the food came. Took a few bites of the chicken bites and it tasted like they hadn't cleaned their fryers in months. Nearly made me sick. Then, before I can even say anything about it, some manager starts harassing my wife over an a beverage can (nothing alcoholic) she had in her purse and telling her she had to get rid of it. She actually complies and then he walked away without another word. Then the bartender comes over and says she can't serve us anything. So we tell them to take the food off because it was inedible anyway and we would go somewhere else. They refuse and of course they get a card when you order. We just walk out and I see later they charged us $77 far more than anything we ordered. Currently disputing it with Amex. This place must be in serious trouble and if this is how they treat people, then it's no wonder. read more

Never going back. Played literal bloody murder screams instead of just telling us it was bar close. "Manager" wouldn't even have a conversation that maybe there's a less sarcastic way to close down the bar, like telling us it was closing time instead of screams??!! So rude to my friends and I. Glad the "manager" can get out his insecure energy somewhere!! read more

We had really good food and service and the drink selection was great :) my buffalo mac and cheese was fantastic

Service was HORRIBLE !!!!! We had to order at the bar and pick a table - that's fine with me! I ordered a side of ranch, and it was forgotten. Since there were no servers (because we had to order at the bar) I stood next to the kitchen and waited for someone to come out. I asked the bartender that came out if she could please get me a cup of ranch and she was goes "ugh maybe I will get you one when I finish doing what I was doing" I was so caught of guard. Then she says I was trying to walk in the kitchen. Why would I walk in the kitchen. She was clearly delusional, she is clearly going through things and down bad and sad but that has nothing to do with me! After this you would think the Manager would offer me sometime of reimbursement for her trying to embarrass me for no reason, but he didn't do anything! Sucks cause the food was actually good, but it ruined my meal! -- If you do go there is a bartender with a lopsided bob and nose piercing nothing else physically rememberable but she clearly worships the devil. read more

After a night at the club down the hall... a great place to gather for some pub fare and extensive beer/wine/booze selection. Super friendly service - big shout out to JoJo in her I New York sweatshirt and great stories. Friendly southern service, priced accordingly, eclectic crowd... this visit an even fuller bar/restaurant- advised on Charlotte Marathon. Cool, laid back vibe. Little loud for this gals old ears but hey... you're in the of the Queen City. Enjoy. read more

Buyer beware - the place was so slow they let us pick out our own table. Service was terrible - had to keep waiving down the waitress and when food was brought out we were told to ask the server for condiments. But the worst part was a "mandatory" 20% gratuity because of an event. I get it if the place is busy, but the service on a slow night was a bit ridiculous . read more

The Public House - Showing not very busy - Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I had a lovely dining experience that I'd rate an 8/10. After a long day at work, I was ready to indulge, and the meal didn't disappoint. The chicken parm with pasta was flavorful and hit the spot. It was perfectly cooked, and the pasta complemented the dish really well. To accompany my meal, I had a glass of Single Post Ockfner Bockstein Riesling Kabinett, which paired wonderfully with the flavors. I also had their espresso martini, which was perfectly executed--extra creamy and just the right balance of coffee and alcohol. Everything arrived at a decent pace, and I appreciated that, especially after a busy workday. The service was attentive without being overbearing. I'll definitely be returning for another round of that delicious chicken parm and a perfectly creamy espresso martini. read more

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. read more

Do not, do not, do not, waste your time here. I promise. Unfortunately had to send my food back 4 times due to it being wrong each time they brought it out. When I reminded the staff for the 3rd time that I did not want ketchup on the burger, they attempted to wipe it off and still left ketchup all over it. Next time I sent it back to get a fresh burger, with no ketchup, it came back with a hair on it. At this point, I decided I was just going to not eat. When my husband asked the food runner to return the burger and to ask the cook to make a new one with no ketchup, the food runner said, "what? Is she allergic to ketchup?" The attitude was extremely unprofessional. Our waitress did not care about the mistakes that were made and actively ignored us when we were trying to express our concerns. Thankful for the sweet, sweet hostess that helped us get seating and got the manager for us. Additionally, two of our friends ordered fries with their meal and received 4-6 "house chips" instead of the pile of fries that comes with the meal. He also had tomato on his burger when he ordered it without. Overall, the food was low, low quality. The only reason I'm even giving 1 star is because I have to. Manager eventually came back and took the burger off our check and gave 50% off the rest of the food. read more

Hands down, a great choice in DT Charlotte! I wish I had taken pics!!! We were just so hungry and had landed off a plane and completely forgotten to. This spot is a true public house/ pub but with a modern twist! They had these beautiful lights hung up in the dining room ceiling to the left of the bar that were so pretty! The bartender said that the colors change based on seasons/ holidays too! Service was fantastic! There actually was no serving staff the night we were in so we had to order from the bar. BUT the bartenders were wonderful! At one point, some wine fell on the table and the bartender saw from a distance and already began to run over with stuff for us and the table! I barely had made it to the bar to ask for paper towels and she had a whole tray of stuff ready to help! She was also very kind in general, even outside of helping us with a mess. The beer list was extensive and there were even bottles of wine that were delicious and reasonably priced. The food was really good! I can't remember what anyone else in our group got but I got the PB&J Burger and it was epic! It even had a kick because of the jalapeños. I'd recommend this burger and this spot! Truly amazing! read more

We decided to go to Public House instead of a fan event for the game and we're excited to see a popping sports bar with plenty of folks and lots of games on tv. Unfortunately, that's where the excitement ended. Our server was super nice and somewhat attentive, but our food definitely ruined the experience for us. We ordered the cheese charcuterie board, fish and chips and the steak frites as well as a couple of drinks. The board was more like a plate with half the food on it. The fish was burnt to the point we couldn't eat it and the steak frites were painfully average. After 2 drinks, and 3 appetizers our total came to a whopping $107 without tip. Definitely would not come back. read more

Really enjoyed Public House. This is right downtown near the convention center. Great beer selection and a good menu. The nachos, chicken or beef, are great and not as traditional as most places.

I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place while visiting Charlotte. Every single staff member was just lovely and attentive. One bartender even offered to allow us to store our bags at the restaurant if we didn't want to bring them into a stadium. They have a long list of beers, wine, and cocktails. Tiki style cocktails come in fun, tropical glasses. I ordered a veggie burger and broccolini and both were delish. My husband loved his burger and the house chips are great. read more

Good location if you're walking in the area. We paid $25 to park around the corner. Service was fast. The host and waitress were pleasant. The food was good.

What a dump. Went with a friend on a Sun afternoon. Place was dark and dingy. We had to ask for menus twice because the waitress/hostess was very busy sitting down at the hostess stand. We finally ordered nachos to start. The chips were burnt and stale, the 1oz of taco meat looked like purina dog food and there was no queso. We paid the bill and immediately left. Never again.

Really good burger, one of the best I've ever had. And the second beer I tried was a winner. Bartender is very rude. At one point they brought out a big side dish well before the rest of the entrées were ready and there weren't any forks or spoons or napkins on the table so I walked over to the bar because I could see the rolled up napkins, and cutlery on a shelf behind one end of the bar. The bartender was on the other end. I didn't have any problem getting it myself so I just kind of got her attention and pointed or motioned towards the rolled up napkins and I stepped one step behind the bar to get the napkin and the fork. As I I could hear her say in a snarky tone from the other side "sure just go ahead and go behind the bar." no reason to be rude. read more

I was in Uptown around 9:30 pm and looking for a place to get something to eat. I tried a couple of places with no success, so then opened my trusty Yelp app and found The Public House was close by. When you walk in, it appears to be just a bar. There was no wait staff when I was there. You have to order from the bar. Despite having a good crowd that night, I didn't have any issues placing my order. Unlike some places where you have to fight to get the bartenders attention, the bartenders here noticed I recently came in and made sure to come over and take my order. They have a full bar, but the star for me was the huge draft beer selection. Local and regional beers on tap. The food is small plates and entrees. The entree menu is nicely diverse. I got a flank steak and throughly enjoyed it. Price wasn't too bad either. Highly recommend. read more
