Publico Street Bistro & Garden in South Boston is marking its fifth year in business with a “celebration of food” for the month of February.

The celebration will feature special events like a Publico birthday party and a month-long “5555” menu. (Each item is $5)

“5555” menu

From 4 – 6 p.m. at the bar for five days a week, special menu items will only cost $5. The special items include the “Hot Dawg,” “Arancini,” “Salt & Pepper Yucca Fries,” “Zucchini Chips,” and 5 oysters.

Publico Cafe is also hosting a “5555” menu. Their take on the event will be a bag of Nutella donuts — also for $5.

One-night-only events

Some of the celebrations at Publico will be held on singular nights this month.

The first will be a Winter Olympics opening ceremony “watch party” on Feb. 5. Next up is Publico’s official “birthday bash” on Feb. 27.

The event will have complimentary bites as well as themed cocktails. There will also be unnamed “special treats” for guests.

“Date specials”

Publico usually has a $38 deal for a three-course meal from their Executive Chef Joel Howard. However, for certain “palindrome dates” (2/2/22 and 2/22/22) within the month of February, there will be a two-course deal for $22.

To-go specials

The Publico’s “Lodge Tailgate Platter” will be available for pick up until the Super Bowl on Feb. 13. The total price will be $95.00 and will include “4 half hot dawgs, 8 arancini, pretzel bites, white flatbread pizza and 2 pulled pork grilled cheese sandwiches.”

There will also be a family-style pick-up special option. The options include the following:

Zucchini chips, two pizzas, and a salad ($49.00)

Meatballs, two pizzas, salad ($49.00)

Bolognese and Caesar for four ($80.00)
