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...
