A Fulton Market Feast, Rooted in the Midwest

The Publican is a celebrated Chicago restaurant in the heart of Fulton Market, built on connection—between land and sea, farmer and table, guest and host. Our farm-to-table menu highlights what’s fresh and in season: oysters and shellfish from our raw bar, inventive vegetable plates, heritage pork, housemade charcuterie, and globally inspired seafood dishes.

Menu

Blending the warmth of a European beer hall with the energy of Fulton Market, The Publican pairs rustic cooking with a modern sensibility. Enjoy craft beers brewed in collaboration with local makers, wines with a story, and cocktails designed to complement every bite. Whether you’re gathering for a lively night out or planning a private dining experience, The Publican offers an unforgettable taste of Chicago’s dining scene.
