"The Publican has been in the West Loop for ten years, and since keeping up with all the new restaurants in the neighborhood is like a game of whack-a-mole, people tend to forget this great place exists. While everyone else is down the street trying to get into Duck Duck Goat or Au Cheval, it’s likely you can just walk in and get a seat at The Publican. Sure, it might be at the giant communal table at the center of the restaurant, but if anyone in your group has an issue with this, they should have had an opinion earlier." - adrian kane
