Throughout the space of Public, a modernist sensibility is blended with a classic American, Newport mansion drawing room theme. It's design is inspired by the existing architecture of the Masonic Temple and it's Rhode Island Capital Statehouse neighbor. Public's masculine and warm setting will be a meeting place for hipsters and Senators alike.
Please keep in mind that we are next to a theatre and it greatly affects reservations and seating times.
If you have requests for dining please reach out to the restaurant for specific requests...

The food was excellent as was the service. I forgot my credit card and got a call promptly. We wanted to do something different this year for the holiday and this was a great choice. Much appreciated.

I love the setting here and I always make a reservation here when I am seeing a performance next door at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium. The host is a great guy and the food is very good as well. Great setting and very good food.

Great place to go before going to The Vets. No cheese on the charcuterie board, though, which was a surprise.

The lobster carbonara was great. The service that I get from August ( who I request every time I go to Public Kitchen and Bar) was first rate as always. And Christopher the manager always welcomes me with a friendly manner. Another great experience!!

Great service and several local brews on tap. The chicken sandwich tasted just like Chic Fil A (which is a good thing). Nice vibe.
