Late nite find after kids sporting event in the area. They got us seated right away. Very friendly staff and lively atmosphere. Plenty of street parking. Good options on menu and everything we ordered was delicious, but the nachos are a must try with lots of guacamole! Noticed a lot of young teens eating in groups without adults, which is encouraging to the safety of the place/neighborhood.

My sister and I were looking for a place to have a drink and food.We went to Publicans and it was great. My husband passed away recently with ALS . We were looking for a place that the service was warm and attentive. Kaiser and Johanna did everything to make our experience special. When you lose your husband after 44 years you need a place to give you a warm hug. The drink was mixed to perfection and Kaiser was so attentive. All of it was just what was needed. Great drinks , great food, great customer service . Please when you come and you should , have a drink for my husband Lou. Thank you!

Phenomenal food and service! The lovely Chloe took care, and I enjoyed the Publican Burger... Cooked too order, and perhaps one of the best I've had in quite some time. Absolutely excellent, and I'll certainly be back!

just had the Martini and Steak dinner special on Wednesday... Fiona made the most incredible espresso martini, and the chef made the most incredible shell steak!

Stopped into Publicans (Plandome Rd, Manhasset NY) for a drink and early dinner. I LOVE this place - so welcoming (Manager Kaiser is super cool, professional & customer focused), atmosphere is fun and comfortable, music is great, drinks/food selection so good (insanely delish General Tso cauliflower app), great service, clean restroom and very fair pricing. You will feel like you just walked into a friend's home when you visit Publicans. I didn't want to leave...and will definitely be back.
