We tried PUBlic 74 last night for the first time and it was great! The service was exceptional and gets 5 stars. The drinks were great and also get 5 stars. The ambiance was great and gets 5 stars. The food was just okay though and gets 3 stars. The Hummus was just okay, not amazing. The macaroni and cheese I would not order again. The Ruben was very tasty which I would try again, and the fries there are actually excellent and were the best part of the meal! Definitely order the fries if you go there! All in all it is still a great place and would definitely visit again! A couple small tweaks to some of the entrees and this place would definitely be up to 5 stars!
Went for happy hour. Everything we ordered (hummus, sweetly spicy-style chicken wings, Mac, cauliflower, and Brussel Sprouts) was delicious!
I'm confused about some of the stinky/lukewarm reviews. Go for Happy Hour and try a few goodies and see for yourself :)
As for price points, the happy hour specials are Very Reasonable.
Great and really warm/friendly service from all (they work as a team)
We came here for a date night. Parking can be a little tight in the strip mall lot. Nice ambience inside. Vegetarian/vegan and GF options, which is a big plus. Good selection of local brews, generous tasting pours. Service was attentive and helpful. The price point is a little high vs. portion size on a few items. The Stuffed Zucchini appetizer was small, but very tasty. We also tried the Public Mac (mac-n-cheese) which was yummy, and a good size. The Kobe's Got Seoul burger was good, but a bit overly juicy at medium. Maybe go for medium well. The vegetarian Buffalo Chick-In Sammy was good, with a large veggie cutlet. Very filling. Overall, would definitely go back, especially as it has a nice diverse menu that would feed a group with varied dietary restrictions.
I really like the atmosphere and the food was delicious! Started with the tomato addiction, Soo good!! I had the smoked Ruben and chilli lime fries - fantastic. Chased that down with a large stout. Can't wait to come back and try more!
We wanted to try a new barstaurant. The food menu is filled with comfort food. We had the brussel sprouts appetizer and it was amazing, not too heavy or sweet it was perfect. The Herbed Califlower had a slight lemon flavor and is very light in taste. My husband ordered the Smokin Reuben. The corned beef was homemade , I think it's the best Ruben sandwich he has ever had. If you are into specialty cocktails you are in the right place. They have Whiskey, Bourbon and tequila drinks with lots of added taste such as spicy or sweet. The beer and wine list are extensive.
We will be going back and thanks Will for such great service 😁

I love PUBlic 74. Everything I have had from their menu tastes great and is fresh. I recommend the goat cheese toast or the grilled cheese with tomato soup or the French fries. Everything is good. I went for lunch and they had a taco special. It was two steak or pulled pork tacos with a side salad. I ordered the steak tacos and they had sour cream, cotija cheese, onion, and a slaw... they were really good. The meat had a good flavor.
Definitely recommend. Have great food from appetizers to entrees. Must try their Tomato Addiction and Gourmet burger.
Best whiskey drinks in South county! And if you are vegan like myself they have wonderful options for you! My latest favorite is their buffalo chicken burger. I could eat that every day. And all you meat eats don't worry... They got lots of great food for you as well 😁👍
Great service and good selection of beers. Foods are good portions and delicious. Will definitely come again. Remember to park on upper level. There's plenty of parking space
We have been here twice and we total loved service, food and wonderful signature drinks!!!
