Public House 131

My husband and I love Public House 131! We go for brunch every Saturday and I look forward to it all week. Literally all the food on the brunch menu Is great! They also have regular menu items if brunch isn't your thing. We also go for lunch and dinner when we can. They update the menu frequently (seasonally?), so there are new things to try, but also the popular items. Our new favorites are the Cobb Club and Mushroom Risotto, but I also recommend the Greek Wedge Salad, Buffalo Wings, Birria Fries, Pub Burger, Flat Top Cheese Burger, and Loco Moco. You really can't go wrong. And the people who work there are very welcoming. It's a great vibe. Casual and relaxed.

If you’re in the Scripps Ranch / Scripps Poway area this is one of your three neighborhood bar and grills, and the one with the most varied menu. They have a great selection of rotating beers and some decent cocktails. If you’re there for The Game they’ve usually got it on. Or if you’re like me they have some nice outdoors or rollup window seating. Most of the servers have been working here forever (hi, Dylan and Sydney!) and are as attentive as you need. I’ve been going here about once a week for years. Parking: Limited parking in the small reserved lot, but tons of mall parking nearby. Kid-friendliness: It is a bar and grill, but they do accommodate kids, there is a kids menu, and outside seating.

First time checking out Public House 131 and I’m glad we did! Easy reservations on OpenTable, although they weren’t needed for the timeframe we visited. Studying their menu in advance, I was impressed and had high hopes for some of their unique offerings. This family friendly establishment certainly elevates traditional gastropub fare. Service was professional and efficient although not overly personable or friendly. I think it may have been the manager gentleman. Restaurant is clean, spacious and comfortable. Impressive draft beer selection on tap. My wife’s margarita looked and tasted exquisite. I started with an order of Fried Calamari, which included poblano chiles, morita crema and lemon. It was outstanding and beautifully presented, although somewhat of a petite portion. My Flat Top Double Cheeseburger was excellent! Made with two nicely seared beef patties, double cheese, bacon, pickles, grilled onions and dijon. One of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time, that I can tell you! I had onion rings on the side and while they seemed rather institutional, they were fried to a perfect crispness and there was a generous amount. For dessert I highly recommend the English Toffee Bread Pudding (no raisins). While it was unfortunately cool in the center it still tasted great overall. I’ll be back!

We love the food and cocktails here! One drink and I'm in a good spot. Guavarita for the win! The grilled artichoke appetizer and pub burger are amazing. They even have a kid's menu. Sometimes it can get chilly if they leave the wall openings open but it's a cool vibe and great for dates.

Solid option for pub fare and watching TV

Food is very good with great service

Great local bar!

Inside a plaza, local crowd, nice seating. It's not usually busy, we went for dinner. Menu is cocktails oriented. Few wine or beer options. Food is decent, not great. Wings were good. Salmon was ultra salty. Good for get togethers! Vegetarian options: Few Dietary restrictions: They have few vegetarian options Parking: Lots of parking ️ Kid-friendliness: Very!

This is a restaurant with a bar.
