Great rooftop bar experiences, the service was excellent and there was plenty of seating. The bar area downstairs looked to have plenty of comfortable seating as well. Only critique would be food prices. For portion size it felt a little overpriced. The food was delicious. A good vibe to get a drink.

We stumbled into Bar Publica for brunch while waiting on another local spot—and wow, are we glad we did! The empanadas and sando were absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The frozen coquito and Bloody Mary were top-tier, easily some of the best we've had. Special shoutout to Chef Ronnie for the incredible dishes and to Evelyn behind the bar for crafting such memorable drinks and making us feel right at home. Their warmth and talent truly elevated the experience. Bar Publica turned a casual wait into a highlight of our trip. Can’t wait to come back soon!

Excellent indoor/outdoor (rooftop) atmosphere with comfortable seating, extremely pleasant and attentive staff, and really good food. We had the empanadillas, the smashed cake salad (add the avocado on the side and cut it in), the queso, and the loaded tostones (not to be missed)! Prices are GREAT, portions are exactly right. Don’t miss this place.

I'm from out of town and found this place accidentally just by walking around. The inside has beautiful decor and lighting, great Latin music, along with strong and tasty drinks. And the service is very attentive. There's also an awesome rooftop that recently opened up!

Cool bar in East Bayside. Great rooftop space. Good interesting food.
We only had drinks here because the kitchen was closed when we arrived, but our experience was awesome!

Atmosphere was fine. Food was ok. The online menu to inform us of what the food was to be like was completely different than the one presented to us upon arrival. Caused a bit of chaotic ordering. Shocked that a $90 bill included ritz crackers…? The margarita wasn’t made as described on the menu. Kind of a mess and rip off for a destination restaurant.

What an amazing experience we had at Bar Publica last night. We drove 2 hours to celebrate a birthday at Bar Publica and we can’t wait to go back. The drink menu is one of a kind. But the food and service were the highlights of our night. Chef Ronny is phenomenal with his creative take on authentic Puerto Rican food. The appetizers were delicious and the main courses we had were amazing. The chuletas, short ribs, steak and chicharron were fantastic. Everything was a hit. And as great as the food was, the service was second to none. Thank you to Chef Ronny, Evelyn, Nick, Nate, Izzy and everyone else for taking such good care of us. We will see you again soon!
