About Rye Republic

It is a local gathering place for all - the perfect place for Monday night football, girls night out, or a casual date night.

Rye Republic is the first concept from husband-and-wife team, Casey and Kaitlin Troutman, who met in culinary school and have since worked in the back and front of house of restaurants such as Gramercy Tavern, Union Square Caf , Lilia and Blue Hill at Stone Barns. The leadership team is committed to developing a culture focused on associate development, teamwork, integrity, and always delivering an exceptional customer experience.
