I recently had the pleasure of dining at Public Tavern, nestled at 565 Broadway in Somerville, MA, and boy, was it a lively experience! 🎉 This sports bar offers a fantastic blend of entertainment options, from arcade games to karaoke, making it the perfect spot for a Wednesday night out with friends. 🕹️🎤

We kicked off our evening by trying a couple of their cocktails, and let me tell you, they didn’t disappoint. 🍹 I ordered the lemon drop cocktail, and it was a delightful balance of sweet and tart. On the other hand, the margarita, while enjoyable, was a touch sweeter than my usual preference. But here’s the kicker – both drinks were only $10 each, making them a fantastic bargain! 💲💲

Moving on to the food, we decided to go all out with a variety of bar bites. The nachos were an absolute standout; priced at just $10, they were generously loaded with peppers, cheese, jalapeños, and came with a side of salsa that added a delightful zing. The value for money here was unbeatable, and I’d easily rate them a solid 8/10. 🧀🌶️🍅

Next up, we dug into the turkey club, which came with three slices of bread, lettuce, tomatoes, and crispy bacon. The accompanying fries were well-seasoned, and while they were good, they didn’t quite reach the same level of excellence as the nachos. I’d give the turkey club a respectable 7/10. 🦃🥪🍟

Finally, we tried the potato skins, which were served in a set of three. They were pretty standard but managed to pack a punch in terms of seasoning. My only quibble was that they were on the smaller side, but they did hit the spot taste-wise 7/10. 🥔🧀

Overall, Public Tavern is a gem worth checking out, especially if you’re a local looking for a great spot to catch a game, enjoy some arcade games with friends, and indulge in reasonably priced drinks and delicious bar bites. 🍻🏀🕹️
