Public Records is a plant-based restaurant, cocktail bar, and hi-fi music venue in Gowanus, Brooklyn, opened in April 2019 by musician Francis Harris, designer Shane Davis, and hospitality director Erik VanderWal. It occupies a 1910s building that served as the ASPCA's Brooklyn headquarters for decades, and the all-vegan kitchen nods to that history. The campus spans several spaces, including The Atrium restaurant-lounge, where the bar program runs alongside an extensive cocktail list. The Atrium menu carries a dedicated "Zero-Proof" section of fully built spirit-free cocktails rather than an afterthought mocktail or two. Current named options include the Palomar (NA mezcal, elderflower cordial, spiced grapefruit shrub, lemon balm, soda), Not For Rita (NA agave spirit, spiced grapefruit shrub, lime, agave, damiana), and Press For Time (coffee, cinnamon-lapsang-sorghum syrup, vanilla-coconut cream whip, reishi, orange), plus housemade sodas.
