The Monday Room is a new space in an ante room at Public. They won't let in more people than they have seats, so you need to reserve a spot, but this means it doesn't get overcrowded. It's very civilised, and does great cocktails.

The Monday Room is simply The best "wine lounge" ever. I have been in many wine bars around the U.S.,Italy and France. I have not been in a place like this. Great atmosphere, unique sommelier and unique selecction of wines. The little plates that they serve are marvelous. What else...do not miss it if you love wine and you have good taste.
