Huge screen and plenty of smaller flat screens. Perfect for a sports night out where you can SEE the game!

Came by taxi, took a second to find the "Public" on the door.

Half price burger on Mondays, great specials throughout the week for lunch.

Best Buy's flat-screen tv section should would be jealous of this place.
Brian BrandlerSeptember 17, 2011
Good vibe and roofdeck makes this place a must-visit bar.
Campbell BirdJuly 23, 2015
They have a bad beer selection and it's all overpriced. Lots of tvs though.

Nice roof, otherwise avoid at peak periods. They most certainly do not deserve to be charging a cover ... go anywhere else.

Discuss books and drink beer here with the Young Prose Book Club. Next meetup: Jan. 30. Discussing: 'From Hell.' http://ow.ly/gu4qS

Slow service. Nice place to watch sports. Many stairs!

Not very lively during Friday nights. However they do have quite a few tvs.

Always a good choice!

Sat at a table and no one came to wait on us. One toilet wasn't functioning and the other didn't have toilet paper. At 7pm. On a Sunday...

Very nice I go to come here

So they have these fried mashed potato balls that deserve a Nobel Prize. You should have one.

Great for soccer games

The bartender named "TOMMY", on the second floor, is an ASS - avoid him until he gets fired.
Liz MargolisJuly 19, 2010
Always busy, good happy hour deals, the roof deck is so much fun!

Looking for a place to catch you game of choice on a week night? Give these guys a try. Ask the bartenders for the sound from the game and they may just put your team up on the big screen for you.

Thought maybe I could come here and get a few beers and food for the Ravens' opening game. Not possible due to no service. Twenty five minutes and counting with no waitress.

The rooftop smells like cheeseburgers because of Shake Shack next door lol
Michael SimonJune 21, 2010
Excellent bar to watch the World Cup at during the week!

About as hip of a sports bar as you will find. Great music. Nice vibe. Read more
Jeb GavinMarch 26, 2010
Probably not worth the trip on weekend nights. Drinks are expensive (granted, it's Dupont) and the place isn't really a sports bar starting around 10 it becomes just another meat market.

Best MNF spot in the city!
Casey SOctober 16, 2013
I met the love of my life here.

house music played on rooftop bar + $3 bud lights = good times

One word: ROOFTOP.

Great spot for watching the Champions League final today. Should be a good spot for the World Cup.

Crowdedddddd
Alexandra GibsonMay 22, 2010
They reserve tables for bottle service (starting at $400). Just sit down, act like you own the place, and say that you're thinking about it; they won't enforce.

The $400 minimum on the second level is ridiculous! What kind of sports bar does that?
Doug DamronOctober 16, 2011
BDD Approved.

It has nothing unique to offer, no good cocktails or beers, and way too crowded on weekends. Stay away!
