Getting crazy in Summerlin? Enter party-friendly PublicSchool 702

The bar is packed and the staff is struggling to keep up, though still smiling. Groups of party peopleat high pub tables are tasting each other's craft brews. Tattooed girls and guys with shaved headsare playing a loud game of shuffleboard in the corner. That's just the activity in the bar ... there'salso a huge second-floor patio and another bigger, boisterous dining room where patrons arethrowing down ahi tuna tacos and bacon-cheddar tater tots. Where are we? Believe it or not, this isDowntown Summerlin. The 14,000-square-foot Public School 702 is the latest franchise to find ahome in the still-growing mega-complex, but it doesn't feel like a chain bar and restaurant. It feelslike going back to your favorite college bar for a meetup, only the beer is better (19 taps and animpressive list of bottles and cans). It's no nightclub. PS702 is super-casual, per the rules of goingout in Summerlin, but there's a lot more energy. It's even a little unruly, which is a refreshingchange of pace.
