The Publican is a boisterous beer hall-inspired restaurant from the One Off Hospitality group, known for its whole-animal cooking, oysters, and exceptional charcuterie. The long communal tables and cathedral ceilings create a festive, communal atmosphere perfect for groups. Pork-focused dishes and the rotating oyster selection are perennial highlights. It can get very loud and crowded, especially on weekends.
