Public House

It's packed for happy hour. It's crowded on the weekends. And it even brings in a steady trickle for lunch. The glitzy sports bar from the Bull & Bear folks is a hit—and why not? The food—pretzel with cheese fondue, burgers with crispy fries, desserts by HotChocolate's Mindy Segal—is as good as you could eat while Sugar Ray is blasting. The awesome beer list makes the extensive offerings accessible via icons that even denote what kind of glass each brew is served in. As for the much buzzed-about table-taps and wall-taps (yes, that's beer taps built into the walls), our server was so on top of her game, we'll gladly leave those to the high rollers.
