Putnam's Pub & Cooker - Brooklyn, New York

Putnam is one of my favorite pubs in the area. They really got it all. Never had been disappointed with anything I got. Great food, amazing service, and a very cool vibe all round. I recommend the spinach dip and the calamari for starters for sure. The Steak Frites is a favorite of mine! I was a bit disappointed with the wings but overall, a 10/10 place to eat!

Pub has decent food and cocktails to wines. Brunch, dinner and even kids menu. Staffs are super nice, thanks Jennifer for being so attentive. And the bar staff is super friendly too. A lot of seats with nostalgia decorations. I would recommend everyone.

Great neighborhood spot. This has been our go-to option for the past 2 or so years. Whatever the casual occasion, Putnam's has got you covered. Brunch, dinner, drinks, it's all good. I consider myself to be a Bloody Mary Expert and Putnam's Bloody Mary is top-notch. Supremely flavorful, decorative, and packs a punch. We also got the nachos but ate them too fast, couldn't grab a photo in time 🙂 There is truly nothing bad on the menu.

Happened upon this place through a Google search: wanted to find a spot that was a pub in Brooklyn and not in Manhattan. Decided to make it a group outing with The Crew. Reservations are recommended. We had a choice of seating arrangements. Service started out slow, but eventually it picked up.

All the food we tried was fresh and simple (not overly complicated). Salmon on their salad had crispy skin along with the roasted chicken (you don't really see that often anywhere). Mac n cheese was also another hit. Other highlights were the cheeseburger spring rolls, braised short rib (comes apart like nothing), and the lava chocolate cake. Drinks were on point too. Can get a bit pricey though, so beware of that. Definitely gotta come back to try other things on menu. Thanks again for a great time.

The online order and check system feels very fast and smooth! Max n cheese tastes quite good with a hint of truffle flavor on top. Although Bloody Mary feels like drinking diced tomato in water, the elements inside didn’t blend in well and beer tastes a bit flat. Putnam burger was cooked a bit over so it tastes dry even though I ordered medium. Very friendly to dogs.

This was our favorite spot to go as a big family. Food and service is great BUT please make the salt & pepper shrimp how you used to. The last time we came we were excited to place a bunch of orders of it and it was not the same as we have always ordered. That was a staple in the past.

Definitely one of my favorite bars while being in Brooklyn. Great food, great service, friendly staff, great draft beers and cocktails. On a Friday night, this is exactly what one would look forward to, especially if you're going solo. Kudos to the owners and the staff; you guys are doing awesome.

Nice spot for lunch in the Fort Greene area. Perfect if you need a spot to grab a bite and discuss business. Server was very kind, but the speed of service was very slow today. It took over 30 minutes for us to get out food and the restaurant was maybe only 1/8 at full capacity. I do know there were only two servers for the afternoon shift though, so it may have been a scheduling thing. Food is decent here, I had the Caesar salad which seemed to be missing parmesan and lemon and a good amount of pepper, but it was tasty once those things were added. It was nice of them to fry my chicken for the top though I know it's not normally on the menu. The crispy artichoke salad was very good as well. The lemonade here was a bit too tart for my friends, they had to add some grenadine to tone it down.
