    Asked for chicken wings to be well done- several wings still were red & underdone. Think they just threw them in the fryer & hoped for the best. Nachos were meh- half melted cheese and bland. Rosemary Gimlet drink was the highlight of the night. They also were doing a luau night with live music….it was one guy with his ukulele. A lot of hype on their website & social media for a rather large disappointment. Checked this place off the list but probably won’t go back.

    The food was good, the server was a little slow but they were busy. We went for luau night but we weren't told what the specials were. There were small errors with our meal but not enough to say anything about. The manager came by and said she would comp us a desert since we were celebrating a birthday and anniversary but the charge was not removed. We will go back and give them another chance.

    First time here and it was good overall. The menu is mostly pub food but that was expected. Service was fast and friendly and our meals came out right away. It is a bit noisy here but it is a pub. Not bad for a quick beer and burger.

    I got the chicken Alfredo. The pasta was overcooked, the chicken was dry, and the bread was unseasoned and dull. The service was prompt and we had a gift card which made me happy I wasn't paying for such a poor execution of a simple dish. My date had a burger and said it was good. If we go back, maybe the pizza will be better?

    This was our first visit to Bethany Public House & Brewery. I wasn't expecting much more than pub grub and that was okay. The food was well above that. Everything we ordered was great. The service was fine, one bobble with the wine but more than made up for.

    Food and summer drink list were fantastic. Lots of outdoor seating options. Our server was spread thin having to take care of a lot of tables but he still provided excellent service. Only drawback for me is the front row of parking is right up against the front outdoor tables (separated by a small fence, but not a great view.) Just choose not to sit at one of those tables and you are golden!

    They did a great job of taking care of our large party, keeping our drinks filled and answering questions. The food is fine, everyone was happy with their choices, the kids really loved the spaghetti and mini burgers. This is our local neighborhood restaurant, and does a good job of being available, having an awesome beer list, and having decent food, and is a go to for large groups or last second plans. Also a really great place to hang out with friends and watch a game.

    Service and food were ok. 2 main issues: 1. The beer list is not printed or listed closely. It is in a TV screen located in a space far from where you are seated sometimes. Gets hard to read. 2. Towards the end of the evening, about an hour before they close, they tell us they are closing the section we are seated in and we need to either move to a different area or close our tab which is ridiculous given that we had food on our table with drinks and we were about 8 people in the party. Not a good customer experience.

    Not sure I will go back ... I have been there multiple times, but getting frustrated ... mashed potatoes are consistently barely warm ... wine content by the glass is extremely small, if I go there again, I will never order wine - a ripoff.

    Bethany Public House & BreweryResponded on June 2, 2022Hi John. Thank you for your feedback! I have let the kitchen staff know about the mashed potatoes so that this can be corrected on our end. The wine serving we adhere to is a market standard 6 ounce pour which we weigh (taking tare) for each glass. We use a calibrated scale for this because we use many different kinds of wine glasses and we aim to be consistent with our pours. Our wine program will be expanding soon so hopefully in the future there will be options that you will like. Thanks!

    My only criticism is that they do not provide you with a beer list. Instead, they have all their beers on a digital screen that scrolls and it’s far away from most tables. Otherwise, perfect 5 of 7.

    Normally we enjoy going to Bethany Public House. It's a neighborhood place, and the food and service are usually fine. We went there last night, and everything was terrible. I had to go to the hostess desk and ask them to find our waitress to take our order. My friend asked to make a simple substitution on her salad, and it was completely wrong. Instead of taking it back and making it right, they left her with it and then after about 30 minutes, brought out separate bowls with the ingredients that were missing or needed to be changed and she had to put it together herself. The rest of us were almost finished with our meals by the time she received her pieces and parts to complete her salad. I ordered the tater tots with my meal, which are usually good, but the ones I got last night were different shapes and sizes, and it was clear that they scooped out whatever was left in the fry basket and dumped it on my plate. They were way overcooked - just super crunchy bits of potato crumbs. If it were crowded, I could maybe see why the service was so slow, but there were about 4-5 tables there at the time, and there's no excuse for how the food was served. I was embarrassed for inviting our friends to join us there.

    Bethany Public House & BreweryResponded on April 13, 2022Good afternoon, Thank you for your feedback. It seems we fell short of the mark in several areas and I agree with you that it is embarrassing. I am disappointed in the way that we did not handle this, by not giving timely service, to lack of taking care of the obvious issues. Believe me when I say that our standards were not met. I would love to discuss this further with you, at your convenience. Please call me and I would be happy to take care of you. (971) 371-2954 Chelsea, GM

    Honestly that good was just ok but the servers were fighting over who was going to take out table: i know that happened but I don’t want to go out to dinner and have that awkward experience because no one wants to serve me. The waitress even said “I’m sorry he does not want to do his job” and the other one was like “I’m getting off the clock” Kinda killed it when that’s what happened as soon as you walk in
