About
Izakaya Publico is a stylish, modern spot in the Hotel Indigo, known for its fusion Japanese menu and cool atmosphere. It is a great place for cocktails and a fun night out. However, the food quality can be inconsistent, and some diners find the service to be lacking or the prices too high for what you get. It is a hit-or-miss experience.
