It's always a friendly atmosphere. Dan and his entire staff are always point on. Over the last couple of years It's become one of my favorites places to eat. I've taken many family members and friends who also enjoy the food and atmosphere as much as i do. Their bacon wrapped scallops are the best I've ever had.Wheelchair accessibility: From the parking lot everything is on one level weather you want to eat inside or out.

Stopped in for lunch with my friend Blake from Black Widow Pest & Wildlife. Food, service, and atmosphere exceeded our expectations. Love a place where the owner visits tables…it’s obvious they care. Wishing them many more years of continuous success. Bob Scribner, Scribner Pest & Wildlife Control.

We passed by this place, looked cute and had above average reviews. So we said, why not, let's go in. Lovely atmosphere. Great service. Friendly and met allergy needs. Food was very good. I had the bean burger on a pita. Husband had grilled chicken sandwich. We both agree to back if we're in the area or just feel like going for a ride.

Bartender Mike is cool. Honey hot wings, French onion soup, and Spin Dip are fire.

Great pub with friendly bartenders and manager — and the fall Octoberfest schnitzel is one of the best meals you can eat anywhere and it’s very low priced for this area. We anticipate the schnitzel meal are are repeat customers from the time it’s first served in September until it ends in late fall.

Again, I rate places with deference to the type of place it is. Putnam House is not pretending to be anything but a great pub, with excellent food. It exceeds that goal, and its a great place to eat. I have had: steak, chicken, pasta, wings, any one of many beers and the fish tacos which are not always a special, but are fantastic when they have them. They also have this great artichoke dip appetizer. Service is excellent, the owner and workers take pride in this place and its a true icon in the town of Bethel. Crowd is mixed and all kinds are welcome - and they have outdoor dining in the good weather. The bar crowd is very friendly. There is a reason the Putnam House has been in business so long: people like coming here!
