PublicHouse Celebrates 1st Anniversary
PublicHouse, one of the best new beer bars in the Northwest, is celebrating their 1st anniversary in Springfield, Oregon. The beer bar inside a former church is not only one of the most beautiful spots to enjoy a beer, but has a great taplist as well. In the same building as the beer bar, you can also find a whiskey bar, a beer garden, and a mini food hall. PublicHouse celebrates their one year anniversary this weekend with a fresh hop fest, Oktoberfest, and more from Friday, September 20th through Sunday, September 22nd.
Since opening, PublicHouse has not only made our "best new beer bars" list, but many other national publications' best-of lists. Public House was named the “Best Destination” for 2019 by Travel Lane County, “Business of the Year” by the Springfield Chamber of Commerce, and one of the “Top 10 Coolest Places in America to Drink Craft Beer” by Men’s Journal.
