The Publican

OUT Review

Following some trends—again with the communal tables and charcuterie?—but leading in some others. The Publican and its 90-plus beers have landed. Backed by those behind Blackbird, Avec, and Violet Hour, this expansive place wants you to ignore the volume and focus on the simple, yet confident, menu. Chef de cuisine Brian Huston offers a blood sausage dish, an impressive oyster menu and Buchot mussels that you won't shut up about.
