I may not get to Manhasset often enough, but when I do... Publican's is a must!! Mushroom Flatbread Truffled ricotta, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, mozzarella. Paired with Local Bedell cellars Rosé was exactly what I needed in on this chilly spring day. Service is always super friendly, and attentive. Food is fresh and delicious! Super clean atmosphere with a rustic vibe. Highly recommend read more

If you haven't been to publicans already you are totally missing out! We would recommend making a reservation on the earlier side of the evening, late evenings tend to be more busier and way more crowded. Publicans on a weekend night is the place to be to hang out with some friends and grab a bite to eat! Their menu is phenomenal so many great options such as the General Tso's Cauliflower, Giant Bavarian Pretzel, and Publican Burger! read more

Great place to meet up with friends. I would go for the appetizers. Brussel sprouts were good. The General Tso cauliflower was sweet but delicious. Tuna tartare was mildly spicy and perfectly balanced with tortillas. Nachos grande... we added steak.. was impossibly too grande. The steak was a bit too salty (don't add it!). Loved the wings...can't go wrong with that. Publicans burger had too much going on. My kid had the fish and chips was... too bland. Mac and cheese was also ordered bc my kid loves Mac. It was perfectly cheesy. The cheesesteak was ok. It's a great place to run into people. read more

We were visiting from out of town and wanted to try a local spot. This place did not disappoint!! We went for brunch, but the bar looked amazing and definitely something I'd want to come back to try. The food was delicious! We had the American burger, breakfast tacos, and bagel French toast - and we'd order all three over again if it weren't for the rest of the menu looking like super tasty! Also, our server, Mike, was awesome and hilarious! Would 100% recommend!! read more

I ate here tonight and loved it!!! Mike was our server and was so great, food came out on time and was delicious. I will come back again! read more

Drinks, so yummy!!! But felt like we were bothering the bartender all night... not a good feeling, and deff did not feel friendly and welcoming. read more

It is pub food. That is fine if that is what you want. Prices are fair. We had burgers which were good. We had the huge pretzel also very tasty. read more

Publicans was a burger and tavern that's been in the neighborhood for as long as I can remember; Safe and predictable. It closed and new ownership, so we figured we needed to give a try. Our waitress, Lauren was an absolute delight. We started with some amazing appetizers, General Tso's Caulflower, A large pretzel with horseradish sauce. and guac. All done perfectly, delicious. Then a long wait for the food occurred. The owners and staff did everything they could to make up for it. First offered free drinks, (we were fine and told them no need). Then another round of apps on the house. Finally the food came and everything was delicious, I had the porkchop which was done perfectly. My friend had the roast chicken and told me it was excellent. Another guest had the impossible burger (keep meaning to try that), and was happy with his selection. This could have been a 5 if the kitchen got it's act together and served on time. I will definitely give them another try in a few weeks to see if things have been ironed out. read more

You've got to love all these shill reviews, especially when they say things like "Chef Ben is making it happen in the Kitchen" This place is no better than shortly before it closed. They can't even get a simple medium rare hamburger right. (Medium well is NOT medium rare) Wine was OK, though a bit overpriced. I heard from the bartender say that the owners also own Brixx & Barley in Long Beach, the place that was closed by the Health Department this summer because of a Salmonella outbreak. Though I live within walking distance, I will not be coming back anytime soon. Sorry, this place is doomed... again. read more

Solid neighborhood bar. Which basic drinks and solid bar food. Not everything on the menu is fried stuff which I appreciate. Been here about 4 times and each time it has met my expectation. read more

Tried it twice since it reopened under new management. I was really hoping food would be better. Had the burger and it was ok but too salty. The carne asada tacos were pretty bad. The seasoning was not good. Should simplify the menu and focus on having a quality burger. The original Publicans was known for simple food and best burgers in town. I'd rather go to Louie's for a burger. Please do better. Manhasset desperately wants you to succeed! read more

Today was USA vs Iran soccer game. My friends and I were looking around the area for a place that was open showing the game. Took us about 10 min drive, when we got there we were surprised to see so many parking spots in the back. We sat at the bar and our bartender was Ari. Ari was a great bartender. She had a crowd here watching the game. I asked her what her favorite food was and she recommended the general TSO cauliflower, she said every table loves it. She was right, it was delicious. She was attentive and definitely helped us decide what to drink based off our preferences. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

Lets start with the hostess, she took 5 minutes to sit us down when we had a reservation- no greeting (faint smile too...) off the bat not too welcoming. Our waiter had a little attitude but i was willing to walk past it, also the water jug was dirty and so nasty i literally couldn't but like it was fine but no. the appetizers on the other hand were amazing! props to the chef. for my entree I had parmesan crusted salmon with mac and cheese side replacement- salmon was salty and dry but it was alright, mac and cheese was ok. The dessert was a disaster. it took at LEAST 25-30 mins to get dessert out. we had ordered cinnamon and donut holes and the donut holes were for a birthday. it was so bad the second hand embarrassment i got from the waiter was so bad. he even knocked over the glass while putting the happy birthday plate down. He was a grown man too, i cut slack but i mean hey after 30 mins of waiting thats the last thing i want. overall if i could give a 2.5 i would have. - your best yelper juliet read more

Best bar for Sunday day and Monday night football. You occasionally run into New York islander players.

Just tried the 'general Tso's cauliflower appetizer and OMG so game changing. I didn't realize they had vegan options here. Commendations to Alex (our server/ bar tender for the great drinks and recommendations! I highly recommend this place. It's clean, cozy and full of friendly people! read more

Publicans - 24 tap forged cast iron beer tap system - Burgers Near Me - Manhasset, New York

Rude staff, very inexperienced and unaccommodating waiters and waitresses, overpriced menu of undesirable items, food when it finally came was bland and tasteless, very noisy acoustics resembling the noise in a gymnasium. The one star rating is for the bartender who was the only on that knew what he was doing. Sorry, My friends and I will never patronize this place again. read more

The food is ok, salty but decent and the service is ok ....until you pay your bill. And once you pay your bill, watch your back! Even if you bought a 25 dollar glass of whiskey, a 30 dollar salmon dish, dessert, appetizers AND gave a great tip, you'll be asked to leave! knowing this now, I do not recommend taking the chance. Wish I'd read a review like this before attempting to enjoy my Saturday evening there. read more

The food servings were tiny. The beer selections were typically available at any grocery store. The place was very nice though.

Nice spot. The server was very attentive, but needs to learn the wine list . The burger was good, not amazing . The one critique was the choice of fish ...sole...is to delicate for that preparation . It got a bit lost in the batter . Why not local flounder or stick to Cod . Despite this, thoughtfully preparation of the food and a very good wine list . I would be back read more

The food was passable, but nothing like when it was Edison's. The worse part about this restaurant was our server. When she came to take our order we didn't see her for over 45 mins. When a person asked for something that was part of the dish, she responded with "you want more", 2 of us told her, it never came with the dish per the menu. We were there for over 2 hrs & finally got up & someone else got what we needed. Maybe if she spent more attention to the customers before she started wiping glasses, it may have gone smoothly. I was tempted to speak to the manager, but decided not too. read more

Staff is not attentive. A few young girls on their cellphones, not paying much attention. No greeting upon walking in or directing us where to sit. Food was mediocre at best. Chicken fingers were over cooked and dry - cmon. It's chicken fingers. Our sandwiches were dry and not well made. Decor and ambience are nice but basic food items were just not good. Won't be back. read more

I think publicans is a great sports bar with a fun and entertaining vibe. The food is solid and is definitely not heathy, but you only live once. The service is great and they even do quiz games to win a gift card. Overall I would definitely recommend the restaurant read more

I went Saturday night and it was quite busy. The food and ambience were good but our server Skylar was the highlight! She was immensely accommodating, friendly, and went above and beyond to take care of us! She was really knowledgeable on the beer selection and was a delight!! read more

Great place for dinner and/or drinks! I love the modern and laid back atmosphere. Our served, Mackenzie, was very sweet and attentive. I loved my drink, the Red Oak. I also enjoyed the Chopped Greek Salad with grilled chicken. My boyfriend enjoyed the Pubs Cheesesteak sandwich. It definitely had an unexpected kick to it. We are looking forward to going back to try other items on the menu. read more

ITS AND AMAZING PLACE!!!!! Loved this place, food is great and customer service is definitely top shelf managers and the owners are amazing and very nice. Owner abs staff are great!!! This place is 10/10 in all aspects!!!!! read more

Awesome staff and food is off the hook. I thought the Best Philly cheesesteak outside of Philly until I recently went to Philly and had one and was craving the publicans instead. They nailed it, you can tell Chef Ben hand curated everything down the perfect bread. Awesome beer menu and the rest of the menu is super solid. I love consistency being a chef myself and this place has never disappointed. COVID measures are also very respected here feel safe and eat amazing food while being treated like a king or a queen by the amazing staff here. What could be better than that? read more

After driving hours to visit friends my family and I arrived at Publicans famished. Inviting atmosphere as soon as you step in!! We were seated immediately quickly were able to order some appetizers while perusing the vast menu. Appetizers were delicious Buffalo wings were perfectly spicy but not too hot for the kids, General Tso's cauliflower was excellent. Entrees were delicious I had the spicy shrimp tacos so fresh and spicy aioli was ever so tasty. My son had the All American burger and it was perfect! I wish they had a Publicans where I lived- Chef Ben even came over to greet our table! Be sure to save room for dessert - donut holes and chocolate cake can't be beat! Run don't walk to Publicans asap. read more

Great food and ambiance. The Sunday brunch is great and the service is great. Taco Tuesday and Wednesday burger night are a good way to try them out. General Tso's cauliflower is a must have. I would highly recommend Publicans! read more

Bad food and bad service. Not very clean. The place needs a total overall. Poor quality ingredients. Expect to have a decent burger and more burger selections in a pub of this nature read more

Very disappointing dinner I ordered the chicken that was bland and incredibly overpriced for a quarter of a chicken. Brussel sprouts were soggy and tasteless. The beer was excellent and delicious. Will not return. Very underwhelmed. read more

We had a blast today for a little Sunday fun. Today was their grand opening since new ownership and the change was apparent. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious with a lot of great options for all members of the family (vegan/GF/meat lovers/ children/ allergies etc.) The waitress Maria was kind and attentive, the place was packed and we got our food quick and didn't feel as we were being rushed out as we were enjoying some football. My son actually ate his food (never happens). I'm excited to return to explore their extensive bar and tasty menu. Overall it's a relaxed classy atmosphere and I will definitely be returning! read more
