Public House Logan Square

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Business and pleasure mingle in an upscale location with a laidback atmosphere at Public House, Philadelphia's newest dining and nightlife destination.Located in the heart of Center City's financial district, Public House is a conservative setting for power lunches or office happy hours by day and, by night, is a fun place for the young professional crowd to step out for drinks and enjoy a late-night menu and weekend DJ.Owners Brian Harrington and Gary Cardi came up with the "sophisticated yet fun" concept paired with an American comfort food menu to appeal to all ages and tastes.DAS Architects, a nationally recognized architectural and interior design firm who have created some of the most memorable dining settings in Philadelphia, most notably Le Bec-Fin, Novelty, and Pod, captured Public House's conservative, contemporary ambience by layering modern accents over traditional design elements.Exposed brick walls and rich, earth tone woods are set against retro accents like sleek metal chandeliers that hang from the 16 ft. high ceilings. Columns throughout the space have been transformed into abstract works of art by using washed-out red and white hues combined with metal grating and accent lighting, resulting in a subtle yet unmistakable American flag theme.Away from the 70 ft. granite bar, the focal point of the space upon entering Public House, an elevated dining area with butcher-block tables and upholstered booth seating offers a quieter setting to enjoy lunch or dinner. Slip into the semi-private side lounge area to relax during late night hours or share appetizers. A fourth dining area beyond the bar is reserved for private parties.HDTV plasma screens throughout provide exceptional viewing canvases for sporting events or other interesting content.Public House is located at 2 Logan Square (between Arch and Cherry Streets). Parking is available at 18th Street Friday and Saturday nights. Public House is open daily for lunch, dinner and late night lounging. Catering, take-out, and delivery services are available. Private dining areas for parties and corporate functions. For more information about Public House, call 215.587.9040.
