The Publican American Restaurant ·$$$

Located in one of the best dining districts in Chicago, The Publican is a restaurant and gastropub that offers beer-centric cuisine. Created by executive chef Paul Kahan, the creative menu pays homage to pork and seafood. Using local ingredients and sustainable sources of pork and fish, the dishes prepared here mirror the casual rustic décor of the place. With an extensive beer list featuring a fine selection of various ales, ciders, and lagers available by the bottle and on tap, a large communal banquet-style table that can comfortably seat more than 100 near their open kitchen, and portions that will eliminate the word hungry from your vocabulary, The Publican is the right place to go for an education in the art of beer and food.
