The Publican

Planners enquire with The Publican's private events manager, choose a space from the bar to a full buyout, and pick a family-style or reception menu with a beverage package. A signed contract and deposit hold the date, and the menu and final guest count are confirmed 7 days before the event.

Vibe

A busy, loud European-style beer hall with high ceilings, globe pendant lights, heavy wood tables and shared seating. Events feel social and communal rather than hushed.

Space layout

The main dining room has a long communal table, high tops and enclosed booths. For events, a section of the dining room is stanchioned off for one group, the Front Kings Table seats a group at a single long table, and the bar hosts standing receptions. Outside, a fully covered patio on Fulton Market can be booked whole, by half or as a smaller semi-private section. A full buyout gives a group the whole restaurant.

Private events

Private and semi-private options include a stanchioned section of the dining room, the Front Kings Table, the bar, the patio in three sizes and a full buyout. Enquiries go to the private events manager through the private events page. A signed contract and a nonrefundable deposit are needed to book, and contracted events carry a service charge, sales tax and an administrative fee. Menu choices and a guaranteed guest count are due 7 days before, and the bill is for the guaranteed count or actual attendance, whichever is greater. Decor and entertainment need the event manager's approval.

Food & drinks

Seated dinners use a Classic or Deluxe family-style menu with a choice of first courses, mains and dessert. Family-style lunch and brunch menus cover daytime events. Receptions get passed or stationary hors d'oeuvres on Publican Quality Bread crostini and stations such as charcuterie, oysters, a seafood tower and a live carving station. Beer and wine, standard and premium beverage packages run for a two hour minimum, or drinks are charged on consumption. Most allergies and dietary restrictions are handled with individual dishes.
