1861 Public House

What's not to share?Food was great with numerous options for pizza not to mention the wings. Man o man, let's add some outstanding beer selections as well. 20 taps available from all over the states. Top this with a warm welcome and great service, it is a keeper. We will return.

First time eating here. Friday night around 5:30pm and it was pretty busy already. Looked like some regulars were there. Was a little confused by the system (fill out the paper menu at the table and give it to the bartender) but got it worked out. Window was open and it was a beautiful day. Because it's a bar it's a little loud, but the food was good. Got the Naan with Spicy Feta app (really good) and the Starkey pizza. My husband got the Wing T pizza. Good crust and toppings. Worth the cheap price. We'll come back again.

Excellent location! Vibe of the place is busy and bustling! I loved their beer selections. A lot of local breweries! I had a wood fired pizza! Awesome doesn't fully describe my veggie pizza!

I had such high hopes for 1861 and it's cuter than cute IG-worthy quaint atmosphere , but alas, the "gas station" pizza and air fryer chicken wings were just too gross. This place has a great staff and very adorable bar, each earning a star for this review, but the food was completely underwhelming. Going to meet a friend for a drink? Cool. You'll love that.

Great staff, great bar food, fair prices. For being in the village you can't ask for much more than that.

Meh. Wasn't great but wasn't terrible either. Average. Hot feta was pretty solid. Pizza was ok. I'd go back for some beers and apps.

The positive- the bar tender was helpful and knowledgeable. That's it. You have to take your own order, go up and get your drinks. It's all self service. When you have a limited menu the few things on that menu should be outstanding. The pizza we had was both burnt and not baked until the cheese melted. It looked and tasted and looked like a frozen pizza. That's a one and done for us.

OH MY GOD BECKY! Look a 1861 Public House!The husband and I were vacationing Labor Day weekend in Olive Hill, KY and decided to hit a museum in Huntington, WV. He picked the museum and I picked the food. I saw 1861 Public House on Yelp and thought the name was interesting. I'm so glad I did! We arrived shortly after they opened, so there weren't any customers yet. The place isn't very deep or wide so the bartender greeted us and told us to "sit, fill out the order and bring it back." The ordering is done on a piece of paper. Write your name, choose, the crust, select the food and done. There are 9 house pizzas or you can build your own. If you're into wings, there are 9 flavors. Lastly, there are 3 house sandwiches. We went with the house pizzas. I got "The Pirate" with cauliflower crust and the husband got "The Statkey" with regular crust. I've often found that gluten-free pizzas aren't always good but the 1861 crust was perfect. As soon as I bit into the crust, I actually hummed! The sun-dried tomatoes on "The Pirate" gave the pizza a bit of sweetness that was surprising and pleasant. The husband is a man of few words and said, "the pizza was good."‍Although , we didn't drink alcohol, they had about 20 beers to choose from and a serious liquor selection. Try it out, I'm confident you'll love just as much as we did.

The food here is very specific, but also outstanding in every measure. Pizza and wings are there go to and it's obvious for they're fantastic with also weekly special that's random. Their beer rotation always has an option for you with 20 different taps in rotation. The service is outstanding and always Available to answer any questions you may have about the food or any beverage.

SO glad this place is in the heart of B'ville! Great apps (spicy feta and naan), pizzas and wings. Great place for craft brew as well with 20+ on tap. Fills up quickly Thursday-Saturday but that's for a reason. Highly recommend!
