Public Tavern

Public Tavern is a great spot to grab drinks and watch your favorite game. We usually go for Trivia Thursdays, which are always a fun time, and the $3 appetizer deal is a nice bonus. The mozzarella sticks are surprisingly good and definitely worth ordering. It can get busy, and with usually only two bartenders managing the crowd, service can feel a little slow at times. That said, the staff handles the rush as best as they can. Seating can also be a challenge. There often are not enough chairs, and if you arrive late to an event, you will likely be standing since someone else will have already taken the available seats. The cocktails were somewhat hit or miss. The caipirinha felt a bit watered down and lacked the punch I was expecting, though the espresso martini was solid. Overall, it is a fun, lively place for trivia nights and game days. With a bit more consistency in the cocktails, it would easily be a five-star experience.

Awesome little pub on the 1st floor of my apt!! Great service and great beer options. The nachos and cheeseburger are awesome options. Pool tables and air hockey. Karen, the bartender is great and works hard!!

Great prices for beer and food - it’s so refreshing to see! A plate of nachos absolutely stacked to the brim for $10, I couldn’t believe it! Pint from as cheap as $4. Incredible. Looking forward to being a regular here

If you remember Goodtimes in Somerville, Public Tavern is like a mini version! I literally had flashbacks of going there in the 90s with my friends, whether it was to play pool or just hang out and watch a game. Wings, nachos, Buffalo egg rolls and burgers round out great options for karaoke night or watching the game.

Cheap, quiet, quick, affordable, and great service. Common bar food and The cocktail drinks are only $10!

Super fun, chill and spacious corner bar, perfect for happy hours. They make mad cocktails (tried both their Long Island and espresso martini and you get your money’s worth!) Also their bar food specials on Thursdays look and smell amazing 🙂

Cruz and Jen are the best!!!! This is the most welcoming bar. I only come to bars for the bartenders and I come back from them. They are the best!!!!
