Such a great spot for happy hour--I may have been a little overly ambitious with how much my group could eat, but we still had a great time. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the vibe was super chill and casual. If you're looking for something lighter like a salad, this probably isn't the place. But if you're here to indulge, don't miss the FRIED CHEESE CURDS, AVOCADO FRIES, FRIED GREEN BEANS, FRIED CHICKEN TACOS, and the PRETZEL with BEER CHEESE. We left with plenty of leftovers and definitely felt like we had to be rolled out! ENJOY! read more

It's nice to have a good neighborhood eatery, but the best part is the service by Sara. Always excellent

We went during happy hour, which all day Sunday is happy hour. We sat down right away and service was great. Food was super cheap, burgers for $9, Brussels sprouts for $5 and Caesar for $3. A ton of food and super cheap, tasted good. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a weekend...this is one of a handful of restaurants in the Bethany area. The food is here is slightly above average but not exceptional...and the menu prices are high. I had the lunch special of 1/2 sandwich and soup...soup was actually very good but the sandwich lacked any flavor sensation. It still ended up costing $15...which seems high for a cup of soup and 1/2 turkey sandwich. Drinks are good but also in the pricey side...not a bad spot but they seem to charge a bit more than they deliver. read more

We had a reservation for a specific date and time. When we came in we were told that two ladies sat at our reserved spot. We were then given a table towards the back. Okay! Our group started to trickle in, and we had mentioned to the server that we will order then. We went ahead and ordered. The food came. Portions were small for the price you are paying for. A child's grilled cheese sandwich with a side of mandarin oranges came out to $9.00. A side of fries, which was really a small order came out to $8.00. When the waitress was asked she said it was $6.00. No big deal. The fish and chips I ordered was from the lunch menu. It was $15.00. My only complaint is the coleslaw was stale. The fish, and fries were good. Deducted points because the server didn't come to refill water. She also made it hard to split the bill. She said parties or table groups can only have one bill. Since not everyone had cash on hand. She made it difficult to pay with a card. She eventually split it into three checks, but you can tell she wasn't happy about it. Given they weren't busy at all. The server could have been nicer, and more accommodating. With the experience we had here, I wouldn't recommend this place, nor would I want to come back. read more

We've had the pleasure of dining and drinking at the Bethany Public House a handful of times and always have a great meal. Today was bo different. The Fish and Chips is excellent and my son loved his cheese burger. Service with a smile and very attentive servers. Sports on the multiple TVs is nice on the weekends. read more

Great staff and food. Pretty good atmosphere and drinks. Appreciate the pretzel appetizer too.

I love this place!! The food was delicious and the service was wonderful!! Thank you Jordan! I

Would never return to this place. Took forever to place our order. Took even longer to get our food. Had to watch 2-3 episodes of "Bluey" on the big screen while we waited. Cheeseburger was flat, boring, and tasteless. Fries were soggy. I've had better food at Mc D. Never got water refills or acknowledgment / apology for the looooong wait and poor service. Terrible experience. read more

Cute, good food and good service I especially enjoy their happy hour. The menu is extensive and each item has been great so far. I highly recommend this place for happy hour. They also have a great bar selection and lots of beer on tap. Atmosphere is fun for a larger group of friends or family: read more

My family and i recently dined at the Bethany Public House. The staff was great, very enjoyable. The food is awful! Zero taste and poor quality. We all agreed that it tasted like "school" cafeteria food. The management is even worst; rude and unwelcoming. In addition, the food is very expensive. This was the first and last time trying this place. I do not recommend. I hope that they get bought out with a owner that cares about the food and community that lives near by. This was a huge disappointment. Most of the other restaurants/quick food in the village are great. Bethany's table a must, and the best burgers by Iron Strike. read more

Great burgers and onions rings. Felt cozy, family friendly and friendly service. They have good tap options and a small bar to the other side of the room. read more

Myself & four neighbors came here Saturday evening at 5:30. We all stopped coming a few years ago because of mediocre food & high prices. We wanted to see how the new ownership had improved the restaurant. We all live close by and want to see this restaurant thrive. The food was a 6/10 - edible but nothing special. Our server was wonderful, the beer was good, one of us had a cider that tasted off, she mentioned it & our server just giggled (no replacement offered). The vibe was dead, the restaurant was empty. When this restaurant originally opened, it was vibrant, great food, fun atmosphere - we were so hoping to find this again, it sadly wasn't even close. read more

I really wanted chicken wings and I had seen some posts about Bethany Pub House on Nextdoor, so it was on my mind. It has a private parking lot and is across the street from a parking garage. The waitress was good and attentive. The young man that brought our food acted like he didn't hear me ask for ranch. I say "acted" because based on his slow gait and slight pause at my question, indicates a good chance that he heard, and ignored me. The mozzarella sticks were nothing special, on par with Costco air fried mozzarella sticks. I got the Thai peanut wings. They were pretty horrible. Seriously thick sauce, so you just get a huge mouthful of sauce with a tiny bit of chicken. The waitress took it off my bill which was incredibly sweet of her to do. I can't say I recommend this place. read more

I would not recommend eating at this establishment. We were seated right away and the restaurant was not busy. We did not receive our drinks for at least 10minutes which was disappointing. The food was moderately priced, small portions, and was of low quality. Unfortunately, the service was not up to industry standards. Our server checked on us at the very end of the meal to prompt us with the check. The lowest pre-select tip option was 20%. the card reader wanted me to tip 30%. read more

Service was great. The steak salad was horrible. I asked for medium rare. What I got was a cold steak that tasted and looked as if it was precooked hours ago. Definitely not medium rare and was COLD! Why ask me how I want my steak cooked if you are not going to cook it to order? It was served w/o enuf time to get cold - which means it was probably premade. It was very insulting. Won't be back. read more

New ownership and menu. Great friendly service and good food! Everything on the menu has been good so far. Kids loved the food too!

This is a nice spot where the service is fantastic and friendly and you get what you order within moments. Their food is pretty fast as well. I had a mule with berries and it was perfection on a hot night. I also had the Brussel sprouts after listening to an insistent Yelp review where someone said it had to be tried and they were amazing! The best Brussel sprouts I've ever had. Lovely spot. Check it out. read more

Solid Meh all around. I had an overpriced, over breaded, over cooked yet under-sauced "buffalo chicken" sandwich for $17. The meat was so small they must be cutting 3 sandwiches per breast at the least. It was more breading than meat and so overcooked parts were not worth the effort of chewing. I would guess it was frying the entire half hour we waited for it which was odd being a dead restaurant at lunch. My friend put it best.. "well, I dont need to come here again!" And please, get rid of the stupid rotating beer menu. Someone is gonna have a seizure looking at that thing. read more

Great place. Family friendly. Good food. Friendly service. Warm pub atmosphere. Fun trivia nights!

This place has very limited parking in their private lot. You will to park at other lots or find street parking. Pretty good beer selection. This location has free trivia night on Tuesdays at 7pm. You must order at least $10 and pay 20% gratuity. I feel like most people do this anyway. The food and service is great so why not spend $10 and tip well. You can win a couple free beers if you get the bonus questions right. The Trivia Hostess is really good at her job. read more

Service was fantastic! Really friendly engaging server. That's where the good stuff ended. Drinks were absolutely fine ....pizza was so much worse than it used to be. Tasted pretty much like MOD Pizza which I will never go to. read more

Been here a few different times as it's rather close to my work. The food and service is always on point. Def a place to come chill with friends, great for work outings as they do have a Basquet Room. Today I had been asked 3x if I had been helped, I was helped rather quickly, but I found that to be outstanding customer service. Whoever the management is great job, your staff looks happy and willing to help. Kudos to you and the staff who keep the place running. Thank you. read more

Came here based on the Yelp reviews and the fact I was craving some wings. Unfortunately, they no longer serve wings. The server informed me they were redoing the menu and several things were changing; which included the wings. A little disappointed, but guess I didn't need them anyway. Server was Julian and he did an excellent job making recommendations and taking care of my needs throughout the meal. I settled on the chicken tenders for an appetizer (had to get my chicken fix) and the cod fish and chips. The tenders were cooked to a crispy golden brown and were juicy to the bite. I would highly recommend. As good as the tenders were, the fish and chips were even better. The fillets were a nice size and the fish was white and flaky as it should be. The outside was cooked to a crispy golden brown and gave the fish an extra flavor when biting into it. The fries were an afterthought as the fish was my main focus, but they were very good as well. I will be stopping in again soon and would recommend others to try it as well. read more

BPH was our 'go to' . Then over time, we drifted away. Now with new owners, we're back!. Thai Peanut Rice Bowl is my fav on lunch menu. Fish & Chips and Chicken Pot Pie are top choices for spouse. Beet salad is good as ever! Pizza too! Close to home, comfy neighborhood vibe. Good food, friendly servers. Have you 'drifted'? Consider giving Bethany Public another 'go' read more

We just brought home a BBQ chicken pizza. It was the driest pizza we have ever eaten. There was only a drizzle of BBQ sauce near the top crust, and minimal cheese. Very blah flavor. Disappointed. read more

Very casual and nice neighborhood dining and bar. I will give them 3.5 if I can. Their service is good, and food is fine but it seems their portion is getting a little bit smaller over the years (which is not big deal for me). Grilled cauliflower and seared ahi salad are my usual, and they also have wings, burgers, and other dishes to fill your stomach! I usually sit on the bar counter but they have a large dining section that you can come as a group. read more

A few words about this place, to start it took over an hour just for our food to come out and it wasn't even that busy. And on top of that my southwest chicken salad didn't have enough dressing so I had asked for more. And now as I was in the middle of eating, my salad is beyond disgusting look at the dead slimey lettuce. I COMPLETELY LOST MY APPETITE!. Also the customer service by our waitress was not up to par, I'm beyond disappointed. On top of all of this we felt like we were getting racially profiled, and stereotyped! I spoke with Tyler who was the kitchen operations manager and he sincerely apologized and told us he was sincerely sorry for her behavior. Which we appreciate so much from Tyler. But besides that beyond disappointing. The steak was not well done and the asparagus was beyond burnt to the point where it couldn't really be eaten. The cali burger we got there was something sharp in it. And now we got food poisoning, our stomachs are so sick and we are throwing up and using the bathroom constantly read more

I have seen this place so many times for so many years, and yet, this is the first time that I have eaten here. With the pandemic, I did take out although there were some seatings outside. I had their seafood pasta and would highly recommend it again. Their seafood pasta contained squid ink noodles, crabs, scallop, and tomatoes. It was absolutely amazing. The noodle was perfect, the scalloped was not overcooked, and it had a well-balanced flavor. The side of bread and butter is also very good. The bread is soft and thick, butter wasn't salty. Would definitely come here again. read more

Stopped in for a pickup order of a cob salad and an iced tea on a lunch break. The prices are high but also understandable when you think about food costing. It had a hard boiled egg, bacon, avocado, grilled chicken, and an assortment of chicken (nice amount of protein) The iced tea tasted like Lipton, but again totally understandable since I wasn't at a coffee shop. Overall nice experience, but I would dine in in the future probably not take out. read more

My hubby and I eat at the Public House quite often. We first-time ordered a Cubano sandwich (appears to be a new menu item). I'm so very sorry to say we're both so very disappointed. The sandwich was okay, except that there wasn't any Swiss cheese and no condiments on the roll (condiments meaning mayo and/or mustard). I received one pickle chip in my half. It was definitely eatable and we enjoyed a filling bread/meat piece of grilled bread. Please tell your Chef about the discrepancy in a true Cubano -- internet is a great resource. read more

Apparently the owners switched around May of 2024. This used to be our go to place because we could sit outside on the patio with our dog and the staff would often even give our dog a treat and bowl of water. Today, we brought friends in with us and we both had our dogs. However, they said it was too cold to serve us outside (sunny and 48 degrees). They have heaters out there and we've eaten outside several times over the years even during the winter. But today it seemed they were simply too lazy to serve us outside and merely offered for us to come in and order drinks to enjoy on the patio, but that they wouldn't let us order food unless we sat inside. This was extremely upsetting and we decided to take our service elsewhere. Likely won't be coming back anymore, which is a huge bummer considering this was one of our favorites and is so close to our house. read more

Bethany Public House is now serving breakfast on the weekends from 9-12. This is good because there is a lack of brunch choices in my neighborhood. I do not like Biscuits, Golden Valley Brewery stopped doing brunch unless it is a holiday, and sometimes the Meating Place (the default go to) is closed. Today, Easter Sunday, I dragged in a dining companion at 9am.That is a little early for me but I did not know how crowded it would be. The menu has a few choices. I would love a couple more scrambled egg offerings to choose from ( Denver? spinach, feta, and mushroom? salmon? fajita?) but I settled for good old bacon and eggs. My eggs were pleasantly fluffy and everything else was done right. The plate was warm. I love that. My coffee was good. That is huge. Dining companion ordered a Public House omelet. It was more like a fritatta with ingredients mixed into the eggs instead of inside an egg envelope. It had brown crispy edges and he felt it was overcooked but tasted nice.This is why he thinks breakfast was a strong 4. He also thought $3 for coffee was high. I think he is just old. Things cost more now. Our server Alex was personable and attentive. He gets a 5. This is a good local breakfast option. There are pancakes and french toast, a fried rice with egg and sausage, and egg benedicts available as well as $5 mimosas. When the weather is a little nicer there's sweet outdoor seating. Something for everyone. Oh and curling on tv! 4.5 Give it a go! read more

The last few times we have eaten here it's been a little lackluster. Paid around $20 for the pesto pizza, and I feel like I could've made a better one at home. The tomatoes were not cooked on the pizza but seemed like they were thrown on there last minute because they just fell off whenever I lifted up a piece. It also did not have much flavor for some reason. My husband got one of the chicken sandwiches, and the chicken was very dry and did not have any seasoning on it. I also got some horrible food poisoning from a salad that I ate there about two months ago. We do love this place, and love how close to home it is, but sometimes I just feel like the food is not made with a lot of care. read more

Worst customer service. We simply came by for lunch to ask if the patio was dog friendly. The bartender was obviously upset people were coming in for lunch as he just looked at people and shook his head. Once we were able to ask him a question he simply stated yes then walked away from us not asking to seat us or anything. We decided to go somewhere else. read more

Came for brunch on a Sunday and they do not open at 9am as stated on their yelp page, they actually open at 10am. So that was a great start to the day. First let me say that our waitress was less than attentive. She came by to take our drink orders and it was probably about another 15 mins before we saw her again to order food. They have their breakfast items on a separate menu and it's very confusingly worded as the top of the menu notes that items come with a choice of tater tots or red potatoes and your choice of bread. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and my friends got the French toast, neither dish came with any of the aforementioned sides. There were only about 6 breakfast items so I'm confused as to which ones the sides are available with... As I said, my friends got French toast and they never brought over syrup for it and they also didn't bring sugar when we ordered coffee. It was exhausting having to flag our waitress down to get these items that should've been brought over from the start. The biscuits and gravy were ok. They came with eggs which I had ordered over-easy and they came out sunny side up. Not a big deal but didn't help the already poor experience we were having. read more
