“ Another (semi-perm) food truck style place to gather in lane county! The benefit the public house has over other establishments is that this location and building his historic, beautiful and HUGE. The variety of food is nice and the fact that you can also get beer AND alcohol makes this place more varied compared to its "food truck" competition in the area. They also have a pet friendly seating area and love music on some nights as well as over a dozen beers in tap. Food service is convenient as you can physically stand in line at a food vendor or conveniently order from your table with an app that has all the food vendors and drink vendors in one place and items will be brought to your table. ”

“ This space has the food truck/fair food vibe that we love! The brew portion had flights available and a wonderful selection of local beers. We forgot to take pictures of the burgers we tried, but they were fresh and tasty! Highly recommend. ”

“ The whole place is super cute, an old church turned into a food hall with many restaurants. I always eat from the poke place and their poke bowls are huge and the only one in Eugene that I feel does justice to a poke bowl. ”

“ Kind of a unique place in an old church. Went in to beer hall for our first round of drinks. It was very warm in there and they were playing bingo. We went over to the whiskey lab that was nicely air conditioned. I ended up ordering an old fashioned that was good. For food we ordered spring rolls that were ok. Later ordered a salmon burger, fried tofu with Japanese noodles, and fish taco. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We also ordered chips and salsa. The salsa was almost too hot to eat. You don't have one server but whomever is available. All were good. ”

“ Sure, it used to be a church. And they serve up beer & other spirits whilst you sit on the repurposed pews. The stained glass might conjure memories of Sunday sermons, but the message that is really being served is COMMUNITY. There is no shortage of choices if you want to go enjoy a glass of craft beer or Oregon wine in the Eugene/Springfield area. But Public House offers up over a dozen styles of craft beer and marries that with a space that is fully utilized, both inside and out. Add in a small handful of separate 'food kitchens', large, picnic-style tables that can be shared amongst friends or new friends-to-be, and the community aspect just gets brewing. You can saunter up to the bar and order a glass of beer on tap, a craft cocktail, or a fine glass of Oregon wine. The choices of beer are both local and non (hello, von Trapp from Vermont) and range from dark to light with everything in between. If that is all you're there to have, then find a seat inside or out and enjoy. You can also scan the QR codes that are at the tables, view the food and drink menus, and a server will bring your selection(s) to your table. I would suggest anything from Shalosh or Pizza Cue (pizza in cast iron!) but the vendors are varied. The 'outdoor' areas are sensational, covered and heated for weather's sake, or able to be opened on comfortable afternoons or evenings. The nooks that a church offers could make it fun to explore, like 'The Study', which sounds like a Clue room ('so the suspect was Colonel Malt, in the Study, with the hazy IPA'). There is even a Whiskey Lab, which seems curious and daunting all at once. But the overwhelming sense of *community* is infused throughout Public House. Like German bierhalles, the community can gather, sit with one another, and enjoy. Isn't that what a church often brings, a social fabric that can be woven and remade time and again? Pets are welcome, mostly because dogs are better than a lot of humans, and all ages are allowed because, hello, community. Find your neighbor or even complete strangers, introduce one another, find commonality, or just enjoy discourse. Now more than ever community should hold great importance as we navigate division. I would bet that we could solve any number of world problems with lively conversation over a glass, or several glasses, of beer. ”

“ I thoroughly enjoyed coming to public house! It's a food hall type place with some great restaurants to choose from as well as a bar area. Me and my friend got a burger and pizza to split. Both were amazing. Definitely would recommend getting food from those two places. Nice because there's something for everyone! Would recommend. ”

“ We thoroughly enjoyed are time here. The food was very good. The ordering system was easy and the whole concept is cool. I wish I had something like this near where we actually live. ”

“ It had been several years since I'd been to Public House, and I was excited to discover the expansions, including the whiskey lab and the salon area. Both are cozy spots. The signature cocktails at the lab are pricey (mine was $14 including tip) but it was tasty and nice to sit and sip it slowly with my date. And the bartender was unpretentious and friendly; happy to answer my questions. ”

“ One of the coolest places in America to drink craft beer (according to Men's Journal) is right in downtown Springfield! In fact the Public House, a former church, is number eight on the list! This unique gathering place is made up of various independent food vendors (or "pods") within the overall structure. You can choose from several different cuisines and then enjoy your meal either in the former church sanctuary (highly recommended for the soaring exposed beam architecture and beautiful stained glass windows) as well as a outdoor (enclosed) courtyard. Current food vendors as of this review: - MOI POKI GRILL - NORTHWEST BURGERS - PIZZA CUE - TONALLI LATIN KITCHEN - SHALOSH (OPEN FRIDAYS- SUNDAYS ON THE LAWN) Be sure to also check-out the Public House website for various events like Cinema Nights, Yoga in the BeerHall and open mic nights just to name a few. I love "Third Places" and the Public House does it well! What's a third place you ask? It's a term coined by Urban sociologist, Ray Oldenburg, in his seminal text "The Great Good Place." They are the places between where we live and where we work. They are community gathering places for organic in-person connections. Hope you make a point of spending some time at the Public House...you'll be glad you did! ”

“ I love the concept of Public House. It's an old church that has been remodeled/revitalized and turned into a huge gathering space with multiple restaurants inside with a big focus on craft beers and cocktails. Restaurants themselves and customer service are hit and miss, and I've reviewed each that I've tried on their own pages. But definitely do your research on them. My favorite part about Public House is the outdoor space. For being outside, it is pretty much completely enclosed, warm, comfortable, and actually a pretty perfect place to grab a drink and get some work done if I don't want to work at home. It is rare I've found a place I actively like working at that isn't home, and this is it for me. Would I return? Yes, definitely. The only reason this place gets 4 stars is I'd like to see better/different restaurants there. Past that, it's a great place to gather with my husband and friends and enjoy some great drinks, visit, work, and relax. ”
