PUBLIC HOUSE 124
Located on Main Street in downtown Walla Walla, Public House 124, is in the heart of it all. This craft cocktail bar specializes in seasonal beverages with fresh ingredients, and they make a very mean Negroni if that’s your beverage of choice. It’s a favorite for locals not only for imbibing but also for noshing. The eats here are just as good as the cocktails; favorites include the truffle fries, wings, and fried chicken sandwich.
