PUBLIC eat+drink

“We stopped in for an early dinner and it was great. It started off with a nice welcome. Matt was our server and he was great. We both had burgers that were fantastic! This place did not disappoint and if we are ever in the area again, we would definitely eat here!”

“The butternut squash flatbread with a pumpkin beer is *chef’s kiss* for a New England autumn weekend. Really nice atmosphere: casual dark tavern with classy soft lighting and artwork. Very nice bar staff”

“Public Eat & Drink is nestled just a few minutes' walk from the vibrant Mass MoCA museum in North Adams. This industrial chic restaurant is a delightful culinary gem that encapsulates the essence of comfort food with a modern twist. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between rustic charm and contemporary style, featuring an array of talented local art that enhances the industrial aesthetic and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu boasts a range of American cuisine classics, but what sets this restaurant apart is their innovative approach. The standout dish for me was undoubtedly the fennel sausage mussels, which were hands down the best I've ever had. The combination of flavors was nothing short of spectacular, elevating a traditional favorite into an extraordinary dining experience. To complement my meal, I indulged in their crafted cocktails, each one meticulously prepared and bursting with unexpected flavor. The pineapple rice pudding, served as a delightful surprise, wrapped up my meal beautifully. Its unexpected twist was a highlight, showcasing the chef’s creativity and commitment to making comfort food exciting. The service was equally impressive; the staff were friendly, attentive, and exhibited a thorough knowledge of both the menu and the local area. Their passion for the food and the community was evident in every interaction. Overall, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in the North Adams area. With its deliciously creative cuisine, enjoyable ambiance, and top-notch service, it effortlessly combines the best of industrial style with culinary excellence.”

“Good food, nice atmosphere, a little pricey. My friend and I sat at the bar and split a Public salad. It was large enough for 2 and they kindly put it in two bowls. We each got the chicken breast. It had two sauces/marinades that conflicted a bit from a taste standpoint but were still tender and good. Seems like a solid spot if you’re looking for slightly upscale American food”

“Public Eat + Drink we visited as we were driving through North Adam's while leaf 🍃 peeping. It seemed to be popular and was a full house. The food was well made, and service was among the best 👌. I did not take pictures of the inside but the place has a trendy atmosphere. There is a full bar, plenty of seating. Took some food pics but did not take pics inside. I will next time! All in all a good experience! If in North Adam's Massachusetts stop in!!!”
