We went here for lunch. Pizza and cheese dip were great. The beer and service was good. They didn't have wings unfortunately. The place is a nice place to hangout.

Good place to eat. Nice patio. Cauliflower bites and Grilled Calamari over pineapple slaw.. so good! My friend said the Funghi pizza was one of the favourite pizzas she's ever had. Wood fired and light and crispy. Gluten free options !

I had the pleasure of attending two different events at the Publican House. One was in the morning with coffee and pastries provided while the other was in the evening serving beverages and appetizers. The food is very tasty and there is a variety to choose from. The bars are both gorgeous and the bartenders are excellent. Shout out to Josh! He made Lavender Mojitos that were pretty and refreshing! The patio is a wonderful hideaway on a busy street that you don't notice. The entire restaurant is beautifully decorated too. Amazing atmosphere for any event. The brewery is next door and offers beer for purchase

We had a larger party of 10 and with a reservation had no problems getting a table for that size of group. Staff were friendly and quick to respond to requests. The beer choice here is great, and it's a nice change force you into trying something new. Would recommend if in the area.

We went for the first time on the weekend and I was blown away by this restaurant. The atmosphere is two-fold: a friendly yet rustic-chic bar area when you first walk in, and then a cozy back area to dine at the tables. The kitchen is partially open giving you access to see the large wood oven where they make the pizzas fresh. The menu was great! Lots of options but not overwhelming. We ordered two appetizers: the dip trio and the Cuban egg rolls. The portion size is amazing and just the apps alone were phenomenal (I've never had Cuban rolls like this). We ordered the Nashville Hot Backdoor with a Moroccan salad (best choice) and the Brussel Sprout Steak Salad and it was literally likely the best dishes I've ever had at a restaurant. The Moroccan salad alone was so flavourful, not packed with a ton of different random ingredients so you could truly enjoy the flavours, sauce, etc. My sandwich felt like it was 4lbs and my husbands steak salad was crazy good and amazing portion size!! Our server Magda was so sweet and friendly, and made the experience all that much better. Honestly if you've never been to this restaurant this is your sign to do so. Will be back again (and again)!
