Is it possible to have entries only visible to logged-in users?

Question

I want to have a public and private (logged in users) section on the front-end. Is that possible on craft?

Yes. You need to build a frontend login form and then block non logged in users from seeing the entries with something along the lines of this:

{% if craft.session.isLoggedIn %}
    {# put content here #}
{% endif %}

You can also check if the user belongs to a specific group with isInGroup('groupHandle') (more here)

You can also use {% if currentUser %} , which will return false if the user is not logged in. – Lindsey D Aug 10 '15 at 17:56
any difference between this and {% requireLogin %}? – cmcjane Aug 22 '15 at 22:03

{% requireLogin %} will redirect you to your loginPath if you are not logged in. More here – megatrond Aug 23 '15 at 07:10
Something seems to have changed. None of these seem to work anymore in Craft CMS 3.3.16.3 {% if craft.session.isLoggedIn %} or {% if currentUser %} - Mr. Sadface. – Josh Coast Apr 13 '20 at 17:42
{% if currentUser %} should definitely still work: https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/dev/global-variables.html#currentuser There's also the page-wide {% requireLogin %} tag, but that probably doesn't prevent the entry from showing up on listing pages. – Sandwich Apr 13 '20 at 18:06
