The kitchen
Everything here gets made from scratch and cooked when you order it — that’s the whole idea, and honestly, it’s why there’s sometimes a wait. The regulars will tell you it’s worth it.

Rotating list — never the same board twice
Twenty local and regional draught beers, heavy on Maine craft. The list turns over constantly, so we don’t print it here — ask what’s pouring, or grab a flight and try a few.
Can’t pick from twenty? Get a flight and work your way across the rail.
There’s a mug club. Ask about it — that’s all we’ll say here.
Wine and cocktails too, if beer isn’t your thing tonight.

Excellent local pub. Usually has a bit of a wait but well worth it.

Springvale Publick House
481 Main St, Springvale, ME 04083
481 Main St, Springvale — on the village main drag.
Get directions →About
Two locals opened the Publick House in March 2012 — fourteen years of rotating taps and scratch cooking. Today you’ll find it at 481 Main Street in Springvale village, where reviewers keep mentioning the owner out working the floor with a smile.
When our kitchen hood failed in September 2025 and we had to post a closure notice, the comments filled up with regulars offering to help. That’s the kind of town this is — and the kind of place we try to be.
