Publico Street Bistro & Garden

"Southie’s Publico Street Bistro & Garden is one of the few places in town to find a European-style courtyard fully surrounded by a building. It features covered lounge areas, its own bar, and televisions, and you can enjoy Publico’s menu of hot chicken sandwiches and falafel bowls while seated outside. Courtyard seating is first come, first served, but you can note your preference with your reservation, and the restaurant will try to accommodate." - Tanya Edwards

"South Boston restaurant and bar Publico is serving up $1 oysters — and $1 shrimp cocktail — every Monday and Tuesday from open until they sell out." - Erika Adams

"Starting on Friday, December 6, Publico’s interior courtyard (covered by a retractable roof) will be transformed into its annual winter-themed pop-up, Publico’s Winter Market Holiday. The space is decked out to resemble European winter markets, complete with a 16-foot tall lit Christmas tree. A festive food and drink menu will also be available for lunch, dinner, and brunch. The pop-up is open Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 12 a.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. through the end of December." - Celina Colby, Erika Adams
