Fun New Concept Restaurant Public School 702 Coming To Downtown Summerlin

Stuffed Pepper

Shrimp and Grits

As school lets out for the year, sessions begin at Public School 702 in the Dining Arroyo area of Downtown Summerlin this June. Locals and visitors will soon be able to eat, drink and play at the restaurant’s first Las Vegas location.

“We are so excited to provide Las Vegas locals with a new go-to place off The Strip where they can enjoy delicious food and beer all while having a great time,” said Restaurateur Bob Spivak.

The gastropub will feature lunch, dinner, weekend brunch and “Recess”, also known as happy hour. The menu, from Executive Phil Kastel, includes an array of eclectic American favorites with signature items such as Bacon Cheddar Tots, Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower, Colorado Lamb Burger, Crispy Ahi Tuna Tacos, Shrimp and White Cheddar Grits, Roasted Poblano with Quinoa and for dessert a Nutella Cookie Sandwich and Lemon Meringue.

In true Public School fashion, the bar will carry 24 beers on tap, 11 of which will rotate seasonally in addition to a selection of bottled craft beers. Exclusive to the Las Vegas location, the bar will include local brewery Tenaya Creek Brewing. Also available are 16 “on tap” wines and an array of artisan cocktails.

The 14,000-square-foot venue is reminiscent of the classic school house with touches of contemporary design. Communal tables and traditional booths fill both the dining room and large patio which looks directly out to The Strip. With a walkup bar, beer pong tables, shuffle board, over-sized Jenga and Connect Four, the restaurant’s outdoor area provides fun activities for all age groups.

Adding to the entertainment, Public School 702 will feature weekly programming that includes an industry night every Monday, lounge style karaoke on Wednesdays and a vinyl-spinning DJ each Saturday.

“We’ve anticipated the opening of Public School 702 for months, and have no doubt it will be an enormous success,” said Andrew Ciarrocchi, Senior General Manager for Downtown Summerlin. “As we look to provide a great dining and entertainment destination in the valley, off of the Las Vegas Strip, Public School’s fun and inventive menu was worth the wait.”

The restaurant will be open Monday – Friday at 11 a.m. with the kitchen closing at 11 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. with the kitchen closing at midnight.
