The Public Bar by Blush

The bar in Public Market has a large variety of drinks, and they're so delicious! The bartender has great vibes and he made a custom margarita for me. I would recommend the mango and guava margarita. You can make your drink into a double (which is the size in the photo) to have an extra fun night. The lychee martini is slightly sweet, but still good, and the sangria is also tasty. This is a sports bar and they play a lot of games on the TV. The bar is smack in the middle the food court, so it's not great for a romantic date spot, but it's a relaxing place to hang out with friends. I would recommend it for a casual night out.

Drinks are too sweet and over priced. I wouldn't trust the bartenders to make anything that wasn't on the menu. It irks me when one of the bartenders (probably the main or manager) asked me and my husband if I wanted a shot. I mean asking how our drinks are would be fine too. I think he just wanted to drink himself and thinking we'd give him extra tip. But I don't mistaken freebies for good service. I also recent noticed that they have such a ridiculous gratuity notice. I could understand for unclosed checks, but for drinks over $50 or parties of 4 people and more? I've worked as a server and bartender.. it's common for a party of 6 or 8 minimum people (8 being more common), you put the minimum 18% gratuity if they're being served at a table. Their minimum is ridiculous. Not coming here. I'd rather go to Paradita across the way.

I truly enjoy going here I was there delivery driver for about 3 years and I truly enjoyed going there always in great company there and the setting is so nice

Decided to come here on a hot Wednesday afternoon for some food and drank.The Public Bar. Bartender was SUPER nice. He was on his shit for sure. HOWEVER, he was NOT wearing his mask properly. His mask was literally below his MOUTH. As a bartender, how are you not gonna wear your mask properly when you're handling so many drinks??Other than that, the drink was poppin. Bartender knew what he was doing (other than the mask issue.) Me and my friend got Mango Blush Margaritas and one was enough to do the job!!Not sure if I'll be back here but the drink was good.

I was pleasantly surprised to see The Public Bar in the Public Market, especially since Public Market isn't fully occupied yet. There are a couple of TVs here, and even food menus! I didn't get the chance to order any food, but the option of being able to get other food from the other counters and plop yourself down for a beer, wine, or cocktail is an awesome and efficient use for this space.My partner and I happened to grab a late lunch, and once it extended into the happy hour time (3-6 pm, 9-close), we decided to grab some drinks. Plus, seeing the slushy machines... I'm a sucker for an alcoholic slushy drink!The bartender was awesome, he was manning the bar alone and was very kind to check on the various patrons on how the drinks were and if they wanted a (2nd, 3rd, ...etc) round. Plus $6 for select cocktails?! SUCH A STEAL. Drinks were strong and kinda fruity, and I'm super glad this place is here!And as always, don't drink and drive!

I'm ecstatic about this new bar at the Public Market. I work within walking distance so I frequent the market from time to time (like once a month, let's be real- prices in there are high as giraffe ass).I digress, this bar is what's been missing from the market all along and I never even knew! Nothing gets me in the mood of buying overpriced eats more than a little libation! Plus, I'm a sucker for a classy bar, and this place is just that! They've got an awesome Malbec and decent wine list to boot.The open air feel of the Market means the bar is quite inviting and accessible. The bartender matches the easy- going feel of it all and sports highlights are playing low enough to enjoy the ambient music. You can have your cocktail along with whatever you pick for lunch and enjoy the swankiest lunch break yet, I cannot wait to end my day here with friends at the happy hour soon!

The Public Bar by Blush in the Emeryville Public Market isn't the best spot to have a brew. it's very convenient. it's better than nada. they have many flatscreens to watch.....drinks: drafts, wines, cocktails, blushes....food..brew: drakes ipa (3.5,) HH, 3-6-not many drafts, this one is the strongest?-many bottles, can beers available.drips:-can bring drinks to other tables but what's the point?. -for me, bar is too "public" for me to repeat.

Waited over 10 minutes and the bartender never even came to take my order. I think this place is understaffed and staff likely lacks customer service skills. One and done for me!

The bartender, Todd, was so rude! He could not answer a question without being condescending. We had never been here before and we had a couple of questions about the drinks, he was rude. We were curious if we could order a mocktail for our designated driver and he was annoyed and said the slushee mix was just a base. We asked about ordering food, he was rude. We wondered if there was a way to order at the bar. He told us to get up and go order whatever we wanted. He never checked on us and did not ask if we wanted a second drink. When I told him thanks for my drink and that it was good, he gave me a head nod and walked away.

Worst Bar experience. AVOID. The bartender was super rude. His attitude was, " Don't expect any service until you leave a good tip." He literally threatened us for a tip. The only thing i ordered was a soda to go. That shows bad management too, if your employees are acting like this, it means there is no check on customer service. These kind of attitudes with no customer service and bully behaviors lead to business failures.
