Food was so very scrumptious! Fun rooftop too. Great spot to have in Portland
We stumbled upon this gem in Portland Maine.
Place is beautiful inside. With the rooftop patio also a highlight.
Most importantly is the food. Limited menu for brunch but enough to fill our bellies with excellent quality food.
We got the Canoas with lentils, Yucca puffs, Empanadas, Plantain tostones with a delicious pico de gallo on top.
So yummy. Service was top notch. We will be back.
Dog friendly on front patio.

This was our first time, and we had a lovely experience. Food and drinks were exceptional, the balcony upstairs was the perfect atmosphere. Ava, our server, was unmatched. She was calm, accommodating, kind and funny. It was my mom’s birthday and she made it such a lovely experience for us all.

Bar Publica is a trendy spot with great cocktails and an inviting atmosphere, perfect for group events and parties. The space is welcoming, with a potential for improvement in the food department. While some dishes have received mixed reviews, the bar itself has a cool vibe, especially on weekends when it transforms into a night club. With a balcony offering bar seats and upcoming additions, it's a great new space worth checking out for drinks and a fun atmosphere.
