The Public House West Texas - Midland (TX)

4 /5 Ronald Gumm: Pretty awesome place, our first time here. It’s open seating / seat yourself. The atmosphere was really pleasant with classic rock being played. The food is hot, fresh, and tasty. The portions - perfect size that you can actually eat in one sitting without having to waste a lot of food or get a to go box. The cocktails are good too. Will definitely be back. One last thing now that I’ve gotten my receipt, the drinks are EXPENSIVE. EVERY COCKTAIL comes with an extra charge for specialty drink or double pour. Nothing on the menu indicates that you’ll incur these extra charges and the servers don’t tell you either.

4 /5 David Thomas: Well, what can I say. We went in with high hopes of it being somewhat of an Irish pub. I guess when you see the name, you tend to think so. Overall, it was a decent experience, but it could have been so much more with just a little work. Pretty well everything they did was domestic. They said they only had 2 types of Irish whiskey. The " bangers and mash" was some kind of regular smoked sausage, not at all an UK style sausage. It was served with brown gravy, not an onion gravy. So very untraditional. Dont get me wrong, it wasnt bad, just not right. The shepherds pie was about the same. I can allow ground beef to be used instead of the lamb, but again, brown gravy, not tomato and red wine. Again, not bad, just not right.

2 /5 Lindsay: I was really excited to try this place for a pub-style dinner, as I love traveling through the UK. We ordered three appetizers: the pretzel, bruschetta, and caprese salad. The pretzel was good. The bruschetta felt more like a deconstructed version, and the caprese salad seemed fine for those who ate it. For my main course, I ordered the chicken sandwich. First, I was disappointed to see there were no fries on the menu—what pub that serves bangers and mash doesn’t also have fish and chips or at least chips (fries)? The food took a long time to come out, and when it finally did, the bun on my sandwich was cold. Our server rarely checked in on us, and since I was hungry, I ate some anyway. Unfortunately, the chicken tasted off, so I stopped eating it. A few hours later, I became very sick with food poisoning. I was the only one in my group who ordered chicken and also the only one who became ill. The space itself could be great, but the acoustics made it extremely loud. The. concrete floors and walls just had people yelling over each other. The menu also needs serious improvement. Honestly, I’d recommend grabbing food somewhere else and only stopping here for a pint. This place had potential, but between the poor menu curation, long wait times, inattentive service, and food safety concerns, I will not be returning.

5 /5 popofabulous: This will be the second time Ive been here. The first time was Saturday night and today for brunch. I absolutely love this place! The food is great! I havent had anything I dont enjoy yet. The staff are friendly and do a great job of keeping up with you. I really enjoy the laid back atmosphere. You can order and enjoy your drinks at a table, the bar or even couches. Everyone who frequents this place seems to be laid back regulars and not the rowdy types you find at other establishments. Overall, I have haf a great experience here and would highly recommend it to anyone.

1 /5 Kobie McCalister: Insanely overpriced. I was charged $48.80 for an old fashioned with Penelope Architect Bourbon, which is a roughly $55 bottle. When I asked about the price, I was told that old fashioned cocktails are charged as doubles. Certainly will not be returning.
