Public Records

What a cool interior and pricey menu for fancy vegetables! The entrance gives off a record label vibe. The interior gives off cool, Brooklyn, artsy, plant vibes. All the dishes had beautiful presentation. We ordered four plates to share between two people.

This is *the* spot. Insanely good vibes. Vinyl playing. Cool people working. Coffee + pastries available when you walk in OR you can get seated + order a full meal. We came on a Sunday for brunch. Menu was 10/10. Will def be back. Apparently it turns into a club at night.

Public records a restaurant during the day and at night turns into a club. Beautiful sound systems and both rooms in the restaurant and in the main room. They also have a 3rd floor with a decent sound system as well. They booked tons of house d j's from all over the world. The pictures that I'm going to post are from the descendant party from Afro House

Great vibes, outstanding cold brew, and friendly staff. Public Records is an approachable and upscale hangout vibe for the culturally curious who also appreciate specialty coffee. The outside may be brick, but the inside is hip. The once animal shelter is now a green and chic coffee chop, restaurant, and bar. It’s spacious, plant-filled, and industrial-chic with background beats bopping from the bass-heavy sound system. Patio, plants, and presentation room with presence. Join the welcoming and eclectic mix of customers in one of the many seats simmered in natural light. The drip coffee is a subtle and balanced light/medium roast from Ethiopia. Highly drinkable, and approachable for those dipping their toes into coffee without milk. The cold brew is the clear standout. It’s delicate, light, and refreshing; perfect for a spring or summer day. Smells like a tropical, guava cocktail, and makes me feel like I’m on the beach. It’s hard to leave this place! Drip coffee score: 4/5. Everything else score: 5/5. Overall score: 4.5/5.

I was here for an event to listen to a new record that was being released tonight. It was a bit confusing once we arrived… there’s a restaurant, a club downstairs, a lounge/listening room upstairs. We initially went inside the restaurant and were told to go wait outside until a black door opened. When it opened, we stood in line to get our tickets and IDs checked but were told by the staff that we were upstairs, so we had to go back outside and enter another black door. We ended up going upstairs to the listening room that had a small bar in the back. It’s a nice area; brightly lit during the day but intimate once the sun sets but extremely hot inside (they only had the windows open). Got a couple of beers (from Threes Brewing) to drink while listening to the entire record. It was pretty cool since the artist, Eliana Glass, was sitting right next to us since her friends were sharing a table with us. We didn’t realize it was her until we overheard their convo. She ended up performing a couple of her songs live. Definitely an interesting experience that we would have no clue about if Spotify hadn’t informed us of the free ticketed event.

Great music, chaotic management. I went to see Muireann Bradley. Major kudos for booking her. Public Records did their best to detract from the experience. The show was announced for 7:00 with doors at 6:00. With no announcement, doors were moved to 7 and the show to 8:00. we weren't let in the main entrance but an unmasked black door in a fence. When they let us in and made the trek, it was a trek to the second floor we were surprised because they looked at but didn't scan our tickets When we asked where the stage was we were told we were in the wrong place. This was a room with a DJ that didn't require a scanned ticket so they should have told us to go back outside. They finally opened a second unmarked black door. By then the order we lined up in was meaningless. The room looked nice and had good acoustics but almost no seating. There were a few benches. I got in early and was able to save a seat for my friend with a broken leg. The artist had to walk through the crowd to reach the stage and leave. It was way too warm. She was uncomfortable.

I rarely say this, especially while I’m still at the restaurant, but I will definitely be coming back — and I want to show this place to all my friends. It’s truly a fantastic spot! I loved every dish we tried. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, the ambiance was wonderful, and even the background sounds added to the charm. There’s just one thing that needs improvement: the toilets are overloaded and have a strong smell.

I'm incredibly perplexed and confused about this incredible experience. having brunch at this place that I thought was just a music venue. this doesn't even give me a place to rate the restaurant menu. everything I had was delicious. utterly confused. ranking top to bottom, focaccia, tofu burrito, french toast, fries with aioli, mung bean bowl, burger, kombucha, vanilla latte. strangely, one thing is the vibe is spectacular without any lines and the food is well presented and taste good. it's just that the staff is a bit fashionable and not traditionally warm and service oriented. they're just a cool vibe so it's a bit different in that sense
