About Republic
Where Great Food Meets Great Company
Republic opened in 2012 in the heart of Bloomfield Center as a new kind of gastropub within the MRG family of restaurants. Chef Steven Wolf, a Culinary Institute of America graduate with experience in kitchens from New York to Las Vegas, returned home with a simple idea: pair chef-driven food with the comfortable, social feel of a neighborhood pub.
The concept brought craft beer, boutique wines and small-batch bourbons together with elevated pub fare โ familiar dishes approached with creativity, quality ingredients and a chefโs perspective.
More than a decade later, Republic continues to evolve while remaining rooted in that same idea: thoughtful food and drink, genuine hospitality, and a neighborhood gathering place that is proud to be part of Bloomfield Center. In 2024, Republic expanded with the addition of The Porch, a private dining and event space designed to bring that same experience to larger celebrations and gatherings.

Love this spot. Really great vibes, food and drinks all around and a great location. Top tier chefs, bartenders and management here. The drinks are perfect every time and the beef stroganoff is to die for. INCREDIBLE spot and highly recommend.

Just moved to Connecticut a couple of months ago, several people told us we needed to come here. Wow, they were right. We came for my Dad's birthday dinner. Restaurant itself is cool, has a rustic vibe, we sat inside but also has a very nice large patio. Service was great, staff is very friendly. Food was excellent, no one had any complaints about their food, we will definitely be coming back again and again, can't wait to take other friends and family here.
