Vanbarry's Public House

The Write-Up

The full story

Vanbarry's Public House on South Orange Avenue in SoDo starts with a jar of house pickles on the table and a covered patio facing Lake Jennie Jewel. Guests settle into relaxed, chill vibes with the Bare Naked Burger, Boomin' Shrimp Tacos, Fig and the Pig flatbread and bacon caramel fries, plus table side s'mores around the fire pit. Board games, dogs on the patio and kids at the table keep it feeling like a local hangout, even when service stretches at peak crowd.
