🍔 From Bowling Alley to Restaurateur: Local Success Story

Public House at The Alexander

🏆 The Alexander: Where Award-Winning Food Meets Small-Town Hospitality

What's the secret ingredient that turns a high school graduate into a successful restaurateur? For Matt McCartan, it's a dash of determination, a pinch of patience, and a heaping helping of entrepreneurial spirit.

Picture this: A young Matt, fresh out of high school, choosing to forgo college and instead diving headfirst into the world of hospitality (after a 10 yr stint in automotive.) His first stop? Bartending part-time at a local bowling alley. Little did he know, this would be the first step on a journey that would reshape Colorado Springs' dining scene.

When the housing crisis hit and the bowling alley closed, Matt saw an opportunity where others saw defeat. He purchased their bar equipment, tucking it away in storage until the perfect moment arrived. In 2013, that moment came with the opening of the original Public House, starting with just three employees and a dream.

Fast forward to today, and Matt's vision has expanded to three thriving establishments.* The Public House at The Alexander, which opened in 2021, stands as a testament to Matt's growth and the community's embrace of his culinary vision.

Step into The Alexander, and be greeted by Stephanie, the award-winning bartender and manager. She'll guide you through a scratch-made menu that showcases the best local flavors, from juicy burgers to creative weekly specials crafted by talented chefs.
