No, it also applies to private establishments like restaurants.
One might think that "private / public" would be an easy distinction to maintain, but for a long time courts have waffled on what exactly constitutes a "public" place. In one American case, some guys set up a booth at a mall to promote their political ideology. The mall owners ejected them, but then the guys who set up the booth sued and won on First Amendment (freedom of speech) grounds, in spite of the fact that the mall was private property.
