Do you love a good hamburger? Well, since May is National Hamburger Month, we thought we’d bring one of the most unusual offerings on the Las Vegas Strip to your attention. And it’s not one hamburger, it’s four cheeseburgers. Four double cheeseburgers.
The Do It In Public Challenge at Public House requires you to down four double cheeseburgers, plus a loaded fries and 22-ounce milkshake in just 30 minutes—and you’ll get it for free (plus a T-shirt). However, that’s easier said than done, and in addition, you’ll find a very strong disclaimer on the menu: “Participation in the Public Challenge is voluntary and at your own risk.” This is a bet that you might not be able to win and no shame there! Even if you only eat one, and the fries and shake, you’re gonna be satisfied.
However, even if you’re not trying to ace that test, you’ll find plenty of other options at this lively restaurant with a sports bar vibe. There’s a great selection of local and nationwide beer offerings, including some international choices as well in a variety of styles, plus the Happy Tap, with a rotating selection on draft.
Most good sports bars have good nachos, and Public House is no exception. The Public House chicken nachos are a multilayered marvel of tortilla chips, cheese sauce, sour cream, green onions, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, cilantro and guacamole. If you prefer seasoned ground beef, you can always upgrade. And speaking of upgrading, the tuna poke nachos do that, adding marinated ahi, pico, avocado, sriracha aioli, sesame seeds and eel sauce to the chips.
The Standard Burger is the go-to for many diners here, with double patties, caramelized onions, American cheese, lettuce and tomatoes, but there are plenty of other specialty burgers and sandwiches as well. Try the Big Texan with cheddar, bourbon barbecue sauce, double patties and bacon, or the mushroom and Swiss, which features beer-braised mushrooms and a steakhouse aioli. Or try a Philly cheese steak or a chicken BLT with chipotle aioli and pepper jack cheese for spice. All the burgers and sandwiches come with fries.
Chicken wings and chicken fingers are available in several styles, with carrots, celery and your choice of sauces like buffalo, bourbon barbecue and honey-mustard and mango habanero.
For even more variety, you can get fish and chips, a staple at the pub, with stout beer-battered white fish, slaw and fries; a ribeye steak with an IPA butter; or a half or full rack of barbecue spare ribs, coleslaw and jalapeño cornbread.
Round it out with a cheesecake or the Public House brookie (a fudge/chocolate cookie combo, ice cream, caramel and chocolate sauces, and whipped cream, ooh la la) and you’ll leave fully satiated.
