Nice little place to take the wife out to from time to time. The food is good- definitely interesting. Parking is legit-just be careful not to go prior to a baseball game...you'll get stuck in there for a good while🤣

Great hidden gem in Columbia! Clean place with a great atmosphere that they change with the seasons. The Saturday pineapple margarita and sticky ribs were fantastic and the bartender gave great service! Quiet at lunch, it’s still a great place to come by and chill while enjoying a good beer list and great food!

Publico is always a great experience. I love the drinks and atmosphere. Kate made our experience even better because of her attentiveness and warm personality. We will definitely be back
