Shoefly Public House was opened by Craig & Kati Mariutto who moved to Fall Creek Place in 2008. They quickly discovered that the dining options were limited in the area. As they got to know more people in the area, they found out they weren’t alone in wanting a “neighborhood haunt” they could call our own. Thus, the concept for Shoefly Public House was born, officially opening its doors on September 28, 2013.
Shoefly is a unique and note-worthy gathering place serving modern, approachable pub food with international flavors in a relaxed casual setting. It reflects the eclectic nature of King Park and features locally produced products.
