If you haven’t heard of Public House yet, you’ll probably end up there for happy hour or a lunch meeting soon. Open since November, the restaurant tags itself as South Florida’s “first sporting lounge,” with 30 high-def TVs, more than 100 beers and gastropub-style comfort food.
It’s housed in the same spot that once held frequently deserted bars Bourbon On 2nd and The Office Bar, but Public House seems to have what it takes to last in the spot. It has a great social media presence (use #publichouseftl, and there’s a good chance your snap will end up on the restaurant’s website) and a steady calendar of events (Wine Up Wednesdays, with $20 for all-you-can-drink wine and $5 flatbreads? Sign us up!). To top it off, the food is just plain good – we recommend the ahi tuna tartare and signature fried chicken – and much of the craft beer selection is from local breweries.
Himmarshee Public House is located at 201 SW Second St., Fort Lauderdale / publichouseftl.com
