My best friend frequents this place and I can see why. The drinks were great and they have a large menu. I enjoyed the food although the meat could've been more tender. But there was lots of flavor. The waiter was kind and efficient. The ambience is upbeat. It's a cool spot to just get out the house for a moment.

Putnam's Pub is located in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn. We visited during Myrtle Restaurant Week 2024, which was held from 2/16 - 2/25. Myrtle Restaurant Week 2024 Participating Restaurants had specials that included multi-course prix-fix meal packages that were either $20, $30, or $40. Although we had to wait for about an hour for our table, they texted me that our table was ready. After going to Casa No No for pre-dinner cocktails , we returned to Putnams Pub and was seated. Putnams Pub gave us delicious food and a great dining experience. Putnams Pub is walking distance from the G, A & C trains. It is close to other eateries and shops along Myrtle Ave. Putnams Pub Myrtle Restaurant Week dinner special was 3 courses for $40 - an appetizer, entree & dessert. We both ordered the following: 1.) Appetizers - Roasted Beets of Fennel Salads (homemade ricotta, blood orange & pistachio vinaigrette). 2.) Entrees- Steak Frites (marinated hangar steak) w/ chinchilla sauce, mixed greens & mashed potatoes. We also shared an order of Cauliflower Fritters. 3.) Dessert - Raspberry Cheesecake (we were so gratefully stuffed and satisfied that we took our desserts to-go) All of the courses were delicious and filling, and were prepared and plated well. We enjoyed the Putnams Pub ambiance as they have simple decor, lighting, mixed style tables & seating arrangements, and also have booth style seating. There are cool stool seats along the bar area where one can also have full dining service. Great music was playing in the background. Special Shout-Out to Chyna, Dylan, Sarah & Shayna, as well as all of the other hardworking staff at Putnams Pub that ensured that we had superb customer service. Everyone was so kind and wonderful. Thanks for the fabulous cocktails! Website - putnamspub.com Instagram - @putnamspub Putnams Pub has lunch, dinner & brunch service.

Quiet Monday night meal with my lady and family. This is probably my 3rd visit. We have enjoyed many dishes. Tonight, I had the salmon. My fellow diners ordered the fish & chips and the double cheeseburger. My salmon was cooked perfectly as requested and served over a bed of wilted greens with some kind of base of i can't remember what and grilled cauliflower. I enjoyed it very much, as did the rest of our party. It's busier in the warmer months and weekends, of course. Solid menu that's not fancy gastropub, but not basic bar food offerings. The service is very good and they took care of an appetizer that just didn't taste good. And we had a different experience enjoying it on prior visits. From what i recall, I've definetely enjoyed the Scotch egg prior visits.

Went for the 20$ AYCE oysters, stayed for the trivia (only on Thursday!) The happy hour menu was really good - 6$ margaritas, 4$ snacks like the chicken liver mousse (amazing) and marinated olives (too mushy) The oysters were okay, not amazing, too much shell in some of them, but for 20$ for 90 minutes, what can you ask for

Such a cute little place. I love everything about it. The outside seating area is super cute, cozy and comfortable. The service is immaculate and their happy hour special is worth visiting. For food we ordered 2 orders of wings, 2 burgers (the Putnam classic and the French), truffle fries and my little one had chicken tenders and fries. The food was really good. Have nothing bad to say, the truffle on the fries was truffling. Lol. I will Definitely be back, can't wait to try their brunch menu. Must visit!!
