We stopped in here for a quick bite before attending Blue Man Group at 7:00. When we arrived at about 5:00, there were plenty of empty tables, but over the course of our meal the place quickly filled up. This Public House is in the Luxor and is not to be confused with Robert Irvine's Public House at the Tropicana...across the street. Yeah, I don't get it either. Public House in the Luxor is pretty much right by the entrance, which I appreciated after days of wending our way through enormous, maze-like casinos to find our destination. It's a cute little sports bar with a dozen or more flat screens showing sports. The staff all wear tee shirts that read, "Do it in Public" on the back, a mild little double entendre. All of the staff were really friendly and energetic.
We got two dozen Buffalo Wings for the table and the wings were meaty and perfectly cooked, while the memory of their Buffalo sauce is making my mouth water as I write this: It was delicious. I tried the Public House burger and ordered it medium and it was closer to well done. But the "three hour onions" (carmelized onions) and aged white cheddar were delicious toppings. That brioche bun, though! Holy cow that is a huge bun. Delicious, but there was no way I could finish both the large burger AND the enormous bun! My daughter had the Turkey Burger and she said it was delicious. My son had the Philly Cheese Steak and said it was really well-prepared, with the roast beef nicely seasoned, tender and thin, and the gooey melted cheese and carmelized veggies were perfect. They got fries, crispy and well-seasoned hand-cut fries, and I got a side salad (because it's tough to get your veggies in when dining in Vegas). Mine was a delicious, crisp little salad with a nice vinaigrette, just the right size.
This was a pleasant sports bar experience and the food was just right for a pre-show bite.
