A History Still in the Making . . .

The Publyk House has been a destination restaurant and a North Bennington favorite for more than 50 years. Originally, the old horse barn stood not more than a mile away on Rice Lane before a group of local investors who purchased the old three-story horse barn and moved to its existing location. In 1972 after extensive renovations The Publyk House restaurant opened serving fine food to hungry travelers from Zechariah’s hill. Offering traditional New England fare in a warm and inviting ambiance, the restaurant remained a popular local haunt and received rave reviews.

With its’ barn board paneling and multiple fireplaces, The Publyk House continues to exude that same warmth, character and charm.  With a nod toward the past yet with an eye on the future, just one step into the lobby and you can feel the warmth of the brick hearth and smell the aroma of honey baked bread. The dinner menu includes some of the old-time favorites…Baked New England Cod, Blue Ox NY Strip, Slow Cooked Prime Rib and Herb Roasted Chicken. As always, diners are treated to the bountiful salad bar & fresh honey wheat bread loaf with whipped maple butter with their meal.

Reservations are accepted and strongly recommended during weekends and peak periods. Indoor and seasonal outdoor dining options are available.
