Highly-Anticipated Republic Opening Pushed Back to Friday [Updated]

According to previous accounts, chef Kate Williams' Republic was supposed to open today, but it looks like fans will have to wait another 24 48 hours before descending upon plates of beef tallow fries and house-made sausages.

The most recent Facebook post from the restaurant states, "Waiting for us to make you a cocktail? The wait is almost over! We open Thursday. See you then!"

Keep an eye here for the latest information on when the doors will unlock.

[Update: A representative for Republic reached out to Eater and said they will be closed on Thursday, but "definitely, for sure, officially Friday and Saturday are the big days!!!"]
