The Publican Details PleaseOpen 4–10PM Monday-Friday and 10AM–2PM, 4–11PM on Saturday and 10AM–3PM, 5–10PM on SundayWhat Our Friends Are SayingThe Infatuation: "Food is a subjective thing. Two people can interpret the same piece of pizza on a spectrum of “this pizza is a religious and philosophical inspiration for both my soul and baby elephants,” to “dude, that pizza sucks,” and in some situations, they can both be right. But every now and then, there is a restaurant where people of all tastes and perspectives can agree, and The Publican is one of those places.When it comes to agreement, it helps that The Publican specializes in beer, pork, and oysters. If you dislike more than one of those three things, then we probably can’t be friends. Honestly, you probably don’t deserve friends at all. Chef/Owner Paul Kahan kills it with all of his restaurants, including Blackbird, Avec, Big Star, PQM, Nico Osteria, and Dove’s Luncheonette. And as much as you may be enthralled with one or all of these places (we see you Big Star cult members), we think The Publican evokes the spirit of Chicago so well."

There’s not a lot of variety on the menu at The Publican, but that’s OK because everything they do have on the menu is done extremely well. The menu is separated into the three main food groups of beer, pork and oysters, so obviously you can’t go wrong. If you’re not a fan of any of those categories don’t fret, there’s some other options, too.
