The friendly, neighborhood bar and grill with that Cheers sort of vibe, “where everybody knows your name,” Pub Ten, is a cozy place to consider celebrating the season’s social events. Owner, Evan Hanson and I had a fun chat about just that. Evan also does the pastry work at the pub.

“I have a lot of regulars. They start to walk in the door and the bartender is making their drink before they even ask for it. Or we’re already ordering their food. I want everybody to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves. I want everybody to have great service, good food, enjoy the ambiance, and listen to some fun music,” beamed Hanson.

This craft kitchen and bar serves-up an elevated take on pub food, with a bit of a twist. They like their food to be a little bit crazy—like the lamb burger with banh mi slaw. Instead of nachos consisting of corn tortilla chips with ground beef on top, you’re going to get fried wontons topped with Korean BBQ brisket. Besides avoiding the traditional however, the old favorites are on hand, because plenty of people still enjoy a regular burger, and the comfort of a grilled cheese sandwich.

Evan serves up the best wings in town, in my opinion. They’re smoked, baked, fried, and then tossed in your sauce of choice. My favorite is the Sweet Chili Thai sauce, but their made-from-scratch 10 spice dry rub is popular too.

On the Pub-Tenth Day of Christmas…

A sit-down dinner, a buffet, or appetizers, all scenarios are possible here. “We try to accommodate the needs of the group,” said Hanson. They have both family and business events at the pub.

There’s a semi-private room where events are usually held, and the main dining area where the bar is located. Generally, people rent out the quasi-secluded room. If seated, 30-35 people can be accommodated. If it’s a standing/cocktail shindig, one can invite 40 to 55 guests.

If booking this semi-private room, there is a minimum dollar spend, depending on the day of the week and the time. You can also rent the entire space as long as the minimum spend is met.

Good News! Pub Ten also provides catering off-site for up to about 100 people. Hanson advises against certain items that don’t travel well, like some of the fried foods, although some of her customers insist on getting the Mac Tots delivered – in which case she advises they be kept in the oven so they stay crispy. When catering, all sauces are kept separate from the food to avoid anything getting soggy.

If you need servers, she’s happy to send her staff along to help you, and allows you to pay them directly.

How About a Holiday Party with Pub Ten?

It’s nice to have a space exclusively dedicated to your party. “We are so reasonably priced compared to some others in the area. Again, we’re that hometown, sit down and feel comfortable kind of place. You’ll feel like you’re at home. We’ll make sure we take good care of you,” vowed Hanson.

For the most part, the party food comes from the usual menu. You can also provide guests with a reduced menu if you prefer. If you want to go off menu, that is absolutely an option. A nacho bar, with all the fixings is a popular idea. That way everyone can create their own and get it just the way they like. Chafing dishes are used for a buffet style meal. “We try to make it easy for anybody to get whatever they want,” said Hanson.

Pub Ten can adapt the menu according to your dietary needs. “We can cater to any dietary restrictions considering what’s on the menu. If you need it to be gluten free, we can make sure it’s gluten free for you. If you need some vegetarian options, we have great vegetarian options. We have a veggie burger that’s amazing. I have a keto bowl right now that’s a spaghetti squash bake, no pasta, and it’s amazing, with chicken. If you need it to be vegetarian, we can just leave the chicken off,” said Hanson. 

Book it!

For larger groups, a week’s notice helps them to plan accordingly. For the holidays, Evan suggests starting to book in October, if not sooner, because several corporate events get booked here annually.

Hours

• Monday           5 p.m. – 9 p.m.
• Tuesday           11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
• Wednesday     11 a.m. -10 p.m.
• Thursday         11 a.m. – 11 p.m.
• Friday              11 a.m. – 12 a.m.
• Saturday          11 a.m. – 12 a.m.
• Sunday            11 a.m. – 9 p.m.

Instead of a room rental fee, you’ll have to spend a certain amount, depending upon the night of the week. A normally busy night like a Friday will be more expensive. If you reach that predetermined amount, there’s no extra charge. If you haven’t met that minimum amount, then your tab will be bumped-up. “I’ll make sure you get the best of the best. I try to be fair,” promised Hanson.

Pricing will vary between buffets and seated dinners.

• Low: grilled cheese sandwiches, burgers, and such.
• High: steak, Spanish bowl, Brazilian bowl, and the higher-end items.

Alcohol tabs for parties can be handled in a number of ways. Evan is open to what works best for you. For example, you may opt for an open bar scenario, minus one or two liquors that may be beyond what the agreed-upon price-point would afford.
