Public House Temecula

We were on a trip back from Arrowhead when the lady suggested this place, let me start off by saying if you want some of the best food you've ever had - come here now. The menu is stacked with incredible bites. We started with the Shishto Peppers and Goat Toast, both phenomenal. The cocktails were top notch, our mixologist Ariana was so good and kind with recommendations and customizations. We had so much fun here, the food, the drinks were incredibly great. Can't wait to come back, I wish we had food this good in Del Mar or a mixologist like Ariana! I'm a spicy heat fiend and she curated multiple cocktails to accommodate me.

We arrived without reservations and didn't have to wait to be seated. Unfortunately, no seats were available in the back, only at the front, which was fine. I ordered a strawberry salad, and my companions ordered hamburgers. However, everything tasted very bad, including the salad. The drinks were also poor in quality.

Friday night... group of 7...It Took a long time to be seated because only 45ish people capacity inside. Sheriffs arrived to enforce it while we were waiting & check there were no minors drinking. Live DJ. Food was good. Drinks were delicious.

I’ve been coming to Public House for years, and it’s still one of the most reliable spots in Old Town Temecula. The food is always solid—doesn’t matter if it’s lunch, dinner, or a quick bite during a night out. Stopped in for happy hour recently and was reminded why I love this place. They’ve got a great beer selection, good vibes, and I was seriously stoked to see they now carry Happy Dad Hard Seltzer (my favorite). Huge win. If you’re looking for a go-to Temecula bar, gastropub, or a chill spot with consistently good food and drinks, Public House is still one of the best.

Came here for breakfast with a few friends from out of town last weekend and it was fantastic! We had incredible service from Taylor, the corned beef hash was out of this world, and we were seated immediately on a Saturday! That’s unheard of in Temecula. We will 1000% be back soon, as this is a hidden gem for breakfast in town. Ask for Taylor as your waiter and don’t pass up on the corned beef hash!

This place was good a couple years ago, but not so much anymore. Service was non-existent, food was mediocre and way overpriced. It's a shame because I really liked it the first time I visited years ago. I would definitely not recommend. I can see why there's no wait when dining in. Spend your money elsewhere.

Public House in Temecula is a true staple that never disappoints. Known for hosting lively events like drag brunches, this restaurant offers a welcoming atmosphere and outstanding service that makes every visit feel special. Though the menu is somewhat limited, every dish is prepared to perfection, ensuring a consistently delicious experience. However, I have noticed a significant increase in wait times for food. For a party of three, it’s not uncommon to wait 30-45 minutes for an entrée. During a recent visit with a group of four, we ended up canceling our order after waiting about 40 minutes. The staff was very understanding and had not started our ticket yet, so they were able to close us out for just appetizers and drinks. While the food and service remain exceptional, I truly hope they address these wait times moving forward.
