Casa Publica pays homage to Mr. Hugo A Chile, who thrived during the prohibition era. Born in 1905, he took over his family’s distillery at 15, mastering rum production and establishing a lucrative distribution network to LA. Today, stepping into Casa Publica is stepping into Hugo’s world of rule-bending, rum, and a quirky passion for women’s shoes.
