Love Public Records for both food and music! I've been here twice for dinner and throughly enjoyed both times. Delicious vegan food and fun wines! Definitely get the oyster mushroom enchilada tacos, roasted carrots, and heirloom tomato cashew burrata. They have great natural wines to pair. Oyster Mushroom Enchilada Tacos: Amazing texture with crispy taco shell and soft mushrooms, we loved the flavor and cilantro crema. Roasted Carrots: Never thought carrots could taste this good. I normally don't enjoy carrots but I could have this everyday. The kombucha glaze is sweet and umami while the black garlic mascarpone adds a creamy yet smokey flavor. Get it! Saffron Rigatoni: This was maybe 30s to a minute undercooked. Some pieces were perfectly al dente but there was one or two noticeably undercooked pieces. Would not get this again. Heirloom Tomato Cashew Burrata: So refreshing yet creamy. The pepper herb oil is such a nice touch, I wish I could have it on every burrata. Mole Brownie: Interesting texture, I wish it was slightly less crumbly and a little more fudgy as a personal preference. Berry compote was nice, but the horchata was a bit too strong and off balance for the brownie. At around 11, the restaurant turns into a music venue which we thought was super cool. If you want to stay to explore the 3 different rooms of music, you have to exit and line up to enter through a separate entrance for security and tickets. The host was super nice and let us check it out while we were there. Will definitely be back for the music on a night out!

This is a review of the music room, not the restaurant. I walked into the restaurant first and told them I was there to see a show and they politely sent me back out to go two doors down. I was bummed there weren't mocktails on the music room's menu, but luckily there was a non-alcoholic beer. The 7pm show didn't start until around 8pm. There were a few benches in the hallway to sit but otherwise the venue is standing-only which is kind of a bummer for anyone who might not be able to stand for an hour or more. When you walk in, someone scans your Dice ticket or can look it up for you. They also offer a coat check and charge $4 for every item. Coat is $4. Purse is another $4 etc. for such a nice high tech place, the bathrooms are still punk bar grody. Music played before the bands was kind of not great. I loved the band I went to see. There's wifi. No one really danced for the first band who was actually pretty danceable. Kind of a funny vibe, but again the band I went to see was great.

A deep, soulful cup of black coffee in a lovely hidden café with beautiful plants and natural lighting made my morning peaceful and restorative. A great spot to check out when you are in the neighborhood. About a block away from Cliffs/Movement Gowanus.
