Reviews summary

Set inside a striking converted church, this lively public house pairs a rotating tap list and excellent beers with live music, a sunny terrace and market-style food vendors. Friendly staff and varied, evolving menus make it a favorite for groups and beer enthusiasts, though prices tilt high and mobile-only ordering, convenience fees and inconsistent vendor hours have led to service hiccups. Great for atmosphere and brews, less ideal if you want printed menus or full table service.

There is a great variety of foods to choose from and it is all in a excellent location right in the middle of downtown Springfield.

What Ryan Bennett dislikes about Public House:

Do not order from Pizza-Cue! They don’t even know what they have on they’re menu. Had to explain what we wanted and point to the sign and she said “I’ll make a note, because it doesn’t come up on here like it says there. The after an hour wait, I had to show my receipt to prove I ordered two, not just the one I was handed and he just said “I didn’t take the order”. When I got to the table, the chicken was under-cooke... View all feedback.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. We dined outside on the evening of November 8th, and it was warm and inviting. The food was delicious, and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely be returning! Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Great settings lots of food choices and all very good! Staff is detached perhaps because you line up to order and have little interactions. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

This place is really cool. It's an old church that's been renovated. Many seating options; upstairs, outside, lawn, balcony, bar or Whiskey nook.. . Seven great diverse food options. Live music. Fantastic staff. My only note would be on the platinum Whiskey flight. I would prefer to see something besides maker's mark or Elijah Craig for the most premium flight but definitely would return.

This is a fantastic concept! It's a beer garden-style venue that features a variety of food vendors. You place your orders through a single app, which automatically sends each item to the right vendor. The drink selection is impressive, mainly focusing on local beers and ciders, giving you plenty of choices. The food options are also diverse, including burgers, sushi bowls, and donuts. We had a group of 12, and everyone loved their meals. The setting, located in an old church, adds a unique charm. This place is definitely a must-visit for anyone in the area.

The irony of a church being made over into a bar/brew pub is entertaining. Certainly worth a visit. Welcoming bar staff. Serviced by several food truck types, harkens back to the days of mall food courts. Each has different hours/days when open. No paper menus, food is all ordered on line delivered when ready.Food: 3/5

If you're a fan of The Yard or Fork 40 in Salem, you're going to love this place! They offer a wide selection of beers on tap and a variety of food vendors, all set in a beautifully converted church. The seating is both stunning and comfortable, whether you choose to sit inside or outside. I tried the beef teriyaki, and while the beef was a little fatty (I ended up setting aside quite a bit that didn't have any meat), everything else was excellent. Overall, I’d rate the food a solid 5 out of 5!

The bartender Trey is very knowledgeable and generous as well. They had some great blues playing when I was there.

Was on vacation in Oregon and a buddy and I were tipped off to PublicHouse. Upon arrival a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I ended up getting the Ruben Tots from Pig and Turnip and was pleasantly surprised with the quality and quantity. I'd be remiss if I were to not give credit to our waitress Julie, for making my friend and I's experience so pleasant. Would highly recommend!

A lot of heart goes into this food, almost everything is made from scratch, even the ketchup! Great quality grass fed goodness, you’ll definitely enjoy your time here!

Another great location by the people behind T&G and Beergarden. If you want more of the same high quality food, beer, and service you won't be disappointed.

So happy to eat out after two months!! Very unique atmosphere; a converted church. Ordering and paying was all done on my phone. Beer was excellent, food was good. Comparing food pricing to other local places, this was a little pricey. Burger was maybe 1/4 lb, no pretzel bun. Getting a pitcher of beer was a better deal.

Great food, drinks and atmosphere. We came on a Sunday at 5 and had no difficulty finding a table. The selection of dishes and drinks was wonderful. They have a good outdoor terrace with many seating. Will definitely visit again

A place I visited regularly! Comparable with the Eugene Biergarten, but more spacious and more dishes. Large beer selection and usually 4-5 food cart options available. Recently the Indian fusion car had, and it was delicious! I'm looking forward to the next time.

There is something for everyone at PublicHouse. We’ve been twice and had two completely different and fabulous experiences. Great tap list and excellent cocktails at the Whiskey Lab. Love all the outdoor seating and live music. Overall, great venue. Shout out to the bartenders in the lab. They are competent and attentive. Fantastic libations.
