It depends a lot of where you are.

If it helps, at least in the UK, a lot of country pubs will let you rent a side room/back room for free, or close to it. They rely on getting you in and drinking and buying food.

Pub was my first thought too. Likely to be pretty quiet on a Sunday evening, and they'll be very happy to have a table of paying customers for several hours.

That sounds really nice. I used to play (modern) board games in a cafe, and it was ok. I'd feel weird with some themes in a public space. A semi public place sounds great.

It can be a good balance. It's private enough not to have random people just gawking at you, but public enough to meet new people, who might be interested. Easy access to drinks and bar food is a very nice bonus.

Why in public?

Some people play in bar/cafe(or some bar are more humer friendly) but ideally game shop or rpg club renting a dedicated space are teg way to go
