Bru's Public House

Loved this place. Service was spectacular and the food is amazing. We were seated and were approached for our drink orders within 2 minutes. I ordered the Cuban sandwich, and it was one of the best I have ever had. The food came out rather fast, and just as I finished my last sip of soda, someone set a new one down on the table. The service was incredible as it seemed they anticipated our needs before we asked. They were the perfect amount of attentive. We will definitely be back when we come back to Raleigh. If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I would.

I ordered the white pizza, chicken wings and their version on Caesar salad. The pizza was delicious . The dough is made in house fresh and you can definitely taste the difference. The salad was delicious and the wings not too bad, they come dry, wish it was an option to add sauce and toss them. Otherwise service was good and no other concerns. PS: they sell pretzel bun burgers, I was eyeing others table and it truly looked delicious. I’ll be back 😊

Went here for the AFC Wild Card game last weekend AND a little early inside tailgating for the Hurricanes since Bru's is close to PNC Arena! Got there at 12:45 and it was about a third full. Not bad we thought, as we ordered our beers from the tap. I got a delicious Guinness and my wife got her go to Blue Moon. Both were fresh and cold. Since it was lunch, we decided to start with their Bru's Sliders. They were delicious, especially the fresh jalapeño slices! I'm getting more next time!! Pretzel buns were fresh and a nice addition. Classic Pep pizza was next. Sadly, underwhelming with average pepperoni, a very thin crust that had no flavor, and the usual sauce and shredded cheese that were not very good. The pizzas LOOK good, but they are probably frozen and/or pre-made. I'd pass on those. Our friends arrived about 2 hours later, just in time to see what a zoo Bru's became as people started arriving for the Hurricanes game! They ordered Crab Cake egg rolls, which were interesting, but still average. This place got busy to the point that groups were circling the restaurant looking for places to STAND! Lots of TVs, a combo of bar seating, bar tables, and normal dining tables were scattered in good enough locations to see at least several of the mounted TVs. Service was excellent! Only two young ladies were serving everything when we arrived. Our server Keri was outstanding and kept her cool and friendly demeanor despite the explosion of guests arriving! The interior is nicer than your average pub/sports bar. So, 2 stars off for some of the foods that were completely average, but an additional star added back because of the awesome service! Come early if you plan to get a place to sit.

Hockey game night and seat yourself policy? This may work any other night but it was chaos. People grabbing wherever they could sit. I stopped a waitress and asked if we could sit at a barrel for 2. We had 4 but willing to stand. Was told no. Then a group came in after us and took over the couches and were served. Seems like a cool place but we won’t be back.
