Public Records is a Brooklyn-based hospitality and cultural platform that blends sound, art, and ecological inquiry with plant-forward food and beverage experiences. The organization creates spaces intended to foster disconnection from the material world and reconnection with nature, community, and self, using sound as a universal language to shape perception. Its campus in the historic ASPCA headquarters in Gowanus comprises five venues—The Atrium, Sound Room, Cafe Public, UPSTAIRS, and The Nursery—alongside ongoing experimental design and ecological programming. Founded in 2017, Public Records operates at the intersection of sound, design, hospitality, ecology, and community, delivering diverse sonic and cultural programming for audiences seeking immersive experiences. It serves a culturally engaged audience drawn to innovative, community-centered experiences rather than conventional hospitality. In December 2025, the organization was tapped to build a brand-new 1,000-person performance space at MADE Bush Terminal, a city-owned industrial campus in Brooklyn being transformed into a creative district.
