About Longmont Public House

When a fine dining Chef decides to take the edge off and open a classic Public House:

 

For years, I have worked and thrived in fine dining restaurants, and during the last few years I knew I wanted to open my own place. I dreamed of a restaurant that combined all the types and styles of food & beverage, as well as overall restaurant brands that I frequented the most – restaurants and pubs that provided excellence in consistency and quality at a fair price based on the overall experience and environment.

 

I knew I couldn’t’ let go of all the detail and intensity of running a fine dining restaurant, such as my love of the freshest product available, carefully cared for local ingredients and an educated staff to execute my service vision. I wanted to keep the things I liked about fine dining (service excellence, outstanding food quality, specialty cocktails, local craft beer, a thoughtful wine list, etc.) and dump all the stuffiness of fine dining; reservations, stiff, coarse service and a menu that requires exhaustive explanation with shocking prices.

 

The result is Longmont Public House, a Longmont restaurant and Longmont bar, named for the traditional pubs and local restaurants as a place that serves as an extension of our community gathering places for anyone seeking house made food and hand-crafted drink. The Longmont Public House menu plays to good food, delicious drinks and a warm, comfortable environment while applying the philosophy of top quality food products to a more casual dining setting. We present to you what we believe will take its place as the best restaurant in Longmont.

Tonight was unusual all around.  First of all, only two teams showed up; yours truly misses one week and everyone bails! There was some controversy around a couple of answers, which was in every case amicably resolved.  And finally, one team jumped out to a big lead, was overtaken and then rallied to win at the end. Mainstays The Kids Under The Table and #momjeans made it an entertaining night. Both teams went for the double-or-nothing right out of the gate, and #momjeans protested (after getting a zero) that there is a Picasso museum in Madrid.  They were right; there is a MUSEO Picasso in Madrid, as well as one in Malaga (and there is a Musee Picasso in Paris).  But the MUSEU Picasso is in Barcelona.  Kids Under The Table were off to an immediate 12-0 lead.  Both teams completed a successful double-or-nothing in Round 2, and each scored 5 (of 6) in Round 3.  #momjeans correctly answered the 10-point clue in the Guess Who round, and halved their deficit to 6 points; when they successfully converted a double-or-nothing in the very difficult Round 5 theme round (and made 15 points all at once), they went from 6 points behind to 9 points in front.  It was at this point that The Kids Under The Table went for broke, converting double-or-nothings in Rounds 6 & 7; #momjeans posted respectable scores of 8 & 9 in those rounds but had to settle for 2nd place as The Kids jumped from -9 to +14 to take the honors.

With only two teams participating, the rounds flew by quickly, allowing for more time to breathe and ponder the questions; that said, we look forward to another full house next week!
