Editorial Review for Public House at Logan Square – by Hilary Mackler
The Scene
With a new, spacious design and modern-meets-traditional decor; you would never guess this used to be the old Dock St. Pub. Plasma screens abound in the bar area along with a huge projection TV in the dining area. Whether you sit at the bar or in the dining room the staff is eager-to-please and friendly.
The Food
Starters range from customary crab artichoke dip to fresh and flawless raw oysters served with a mignonette (piquant cocktail sauce promptly served upon request). Salads are enormous and meant as a meal or for sharing. The blackened steak on the salad was tender and seasoned well though "seasonal greens" came out as iceberg lettuce. The prime rib was accompanied by the "loaded house" mashed potatoes (literally, with Wisconsin cheddar, apple smoked bacon, scallions and sour cream) and perfectly done--fresh--string beans. A second try got the prime rib pink, juicy and tender.

The actual bar is very nice, however the service to get a drink was terrible. Seems like the bartenders only serve their friends and/or regulars. Its one thing to pay expensive prices with good service, but another to wait around and pay high prices for bad service. I wouldn't recommend this bar unless you are a designated driver.
Pros: Some nice looking women
Cons: high prices, slow service

Hamburger served on burned english muffin. C'mon even Burger King serves hamburgers on a nicer roll. Hamburger also contained a spice that is not usually added to hamburger because my wife got "hot cheeks" from the spice. Possibly oregano. Single slice of tomato was from top of tomato and was complete with core. Green beans were greasy. Read all fine print regarding coupons. Need to spend about twice as much as coupon for it to be valid and must only order entrees. Very limited selection of items without cheese, shellfish, and pork. No early bird specials. Good service. I liked the place better when it was the Dock Street Brewery. Has mostly a bar atmosphere and is for a young crowd. Waitress "Kelsey" was nice, efficient, and attentive. No problems there
