The Publyk House has been a destination restaurant and Bennington favorite for more
than 35 years. Originally, the old horse barn stood not more than a mile away on Rice
Lane before it was moved to its existing location. Soon after, it opened as Publyk
House restaurant in 1972 by a group of local investors who had purchased the old
three-story horse barn. The partners renovated the old barn into a restaurant to
again serve fine food to hungry travelers from Zechariah's hill. Serving traditional New
England fare in a warm and inviting ambiance, the restaurant opened to rave reviews
and remained a popular local haunt for locals. Years later as The Publyk House once
again, the red barn still exudes that same warmth and character as before with barn
board paneling and multiple fireplaces. Steven & Lauren Bryant are the current
owners of this long time restaurant, as well as the renowned Dorset Inn and Barrows
House in Dorset, VT. With a nod toward the past yet with an eye on the future, they
have once again captured the essence of The Publyk House charm. 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…Stuffed
New England Cod, the Blue Ox NY Strip, Slow Cooked Prime Rib and Herb Roasted
Chicken. As always, diners are treated to our bountiful salad bar & fresh honey wheat
bread loaf with whipped maple butter with their meal.
