PUBLIC

Public isn’t just one of the best bars in Sheffield, it’s one of the best in the world. The awards say it. The bartenders prove it. But their digital presence hadn’t caught up.

They came to us with a clear ask: build a website that felt like the inside of Public: immersive, dark, tactile and self-assured. No trends, no gloss. Just something that lived up to the reputation.

We built a site that leads with visuals, high-resolution, full-bleed imagery that does most of the talking. Navigation was stripped to the essentials. Every page feels designed for someone who already knows what they’re looking for. The brand is layered in: bold typography, confident pacing and no unnecessary explanation.

Functionality came first. We integrated e-commerce to support their small-batch bottle drops, designed to sell out fast, with the backend built for ease when the team decide it’s time to launch. The store can go live or offline without fuss.

Public punches well above its weight. Now their website does the same.
