About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for happy hour
  • Great for craft beers
A comfortable room where fine spirits are drank, laughs are had, and stories are told. A public house for travelers and locals alike. Cold beer, classic cocktails, and familiar faces are just the start of it.

We strive to offer Old Town Bluffton, SC a timeless neighborhood watering hole just a couple blocks from the bluff. Paired with a chef driven menu of southern plates, thoughtful service and comforting lowcountry classic food.

After a swell day on the river or a rough one at work, bring a friend or come alone. Whatever you do... pull up a stool and stay awhile.

You are home.

    The service was great! We went for a late lunch and they were not busy. The food was amazing. Loved the fried green tomatoes and the chicken and waffles. Will be returning.

    First visit. Sat inside, very noisy. Food and service were both pretty good. Maybe should have gone outside, had live music and seemed less chaotic.

    Oh wow. I have been here at least two times before but this last trip has changed my view entirely. I will NOT be back. First off, our waitress was rude and short from the very beginning. There was only three of us. Were not loud, obnoxious etc. so the attitude was completely unwarranted. We felt like our mer presence was annoying to her. She took our drink orders, I asked for a water she barked at me that " its coming". Ok, well you asked what I wanted to drink? It also took us 45 minutes to get our food. The restaurant was almost empty inside. The outside was busier but thats a little ridiculous. NOW, heres where it gets wild. Not only are the staff or people who work there but are off sitting at the bar chatting the entire time, they are vaping inside as well! Staff members were also in pjs while working? I'm sorry.... what???? In addition, one of the bus boys / food runners slammed accidentally into the host stand while carrying a sign. Swearing up a storm right next to our table. Just looked at us and kept going. No apology, completely unprofessional. To make it WORSE, he then turns to leave and accidentally kicks/falls into my chair as well! Enough to move my chair. It wasnt subtle. He kept walking and shouts over his shoulder, "my bad". DUDE WHAT IS THIS PLACE. The waitress saw, no one said aything to me or my table. No real apology. When my mom is relying this to my boyfriend who had been outside on a call during all this, the food runner overhears and yells at us, "I said I was sorry!". I mean it was the craziest most horrible experience here to date. WE are NEVER COMING BACK. I would never recommend this place, the food is only fine. The service is terrible and it seems everyone is very unprofessional. YIKES RUN.

    First time there and it was great. The chicken sandwich and the creamy collared greens were each some of the best the I've had anywhere. Linda our server was fantastic and made the best recommendations. It's a really cool place with a nice local vibe. We will be back!

    We sat outside. There was a two person band who was perfect for the setting not too loud. Great mix of music. We had our dog and they were very accommodating. Put us in a perfect table and the food came out quick and delicious.
