Excellent Food! Great Musicx3 And the drinks are on point im really feeling the vibe is! Great name i see alot of peeps here from the area "public" huh? Lol bartender is cool and has great convo here! Love how the jalapeño wings are spicy but good

My bartender, Edra, was just delightful. She was fast, charming, prompt, and just great. I will be back!

Best Buy's flat-screen tv section should would be jealous of this place.



They have tv's. Lots and lots of them with many different games on at the same time. This is what a sports bar should be. Each booth has its own screen that they can control. If that's not enough for you, you can look on the walls behind the bar and find any game you want.

Ive always been a fan of Public. The roof deck provides a nice alternative to the sports bar. It's a good chill spot for hanging out with friends. The lower levels are great for watching sports and then convert into a dance floor late night. The bartenders are awesome! They do it right and reminded me why I used to enjoy bartending. They talk to you, joke around, and are attentive with your orders. I'm a fan and will be back

Best place to start or end the night. Always our go-to spot! 3rd floor at the rooftop is always packed but 1st and 2nd indoor bars are fun too

Public Bar isn't such a bad place for an after-work Happy hour - especially if you're looking for cheap drinks, bar snacks, and an rooftop seating that tends to go away rather quickly in DC.

My husband & I were looking for a place to watch the Stanley Cup playoffs and we were at one place and I wasn't a fan of the food options so we wound up here and it was a fantastic place to watch the game

Just went to this place last night and it was surprisingly good! Early in the night the music was awesome on the first floor and there were an unusually large number of attractive men, far outnumbering the women. Everyone seemed to be in mid 20s to early 30s, which was nice because I prefer to avoid the young scruffy college kid scene. The bouncers do get a little zealous at times... my friend was thrown out just for "looking too drunk," but at least that keeps the people who really do need to go home from getting sloppy drunk on the dance floor. My drinks were strong but I was sipping patron, $10 a drink, not too bad. By about 2:30 am the music wasn't as good anymore, but we only made it to the second floor, maybe it would have been better another floor up. I had a really fun night though!

The rooftop bar is awesome when the weather is nice. Drinks aren't too expensive, this place gets the job done for a night out in DuPont

My favorite was the top floor. It seemed bigger and they had better music playing! I had a great time after finding a small area that was behind packed.



Drinks or normal priced, around $10 each. The crowd was mid to l ate 20's, perfect for my group of friends. There was no cover when i went on Saturday night!

Prepare for an old timer post, where I rattle my cane and yell at the youngsters who blah blah blah don't know any better. Public Bar used to be Five, a legendary club where I even DJed. After Five shut down and it was converted into a sports bar I stayed away.



The main room has a crazy amount of TVs and so getting your team's game on shouldn't be that much of a problem, if any problem at all. The bartenders that we had were quick to get us our beverages whether they were beers or shots.



The rooftop is home to Sunglass Sundays, which ironically means that even though the club shut down and a sports bar opened up that the roof still continues to have parties and DJs. During summer it seems that a lot of people check the place out.



I still miss Five though. When I was in the main bar area drinking I had flashbacks to the days where I used to DJ in the main room booth that's no longer there. However if you never knew Five, then you'd probably enjoy this place. if I was in the hood I'd probably go there.



I'm going to go have some Metamucil now, this old man needs his fiber.

Nice place to eat, drink and watch games. Food was good and drinks were pretty good. Service was alright. Just make sure you don't get too intoxicated lol

Great little roof deck for a few after work cocktails
