One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! Everything was excellent! Our server, Julie (maybe Julia) was friendly, and just outstanding! The food itself was scrumptious. The pretzel was soft and flaky, and not super dense like other pretzels. The sandwich was full of flavor and the bowl was PACKED with deliciousness, everything super fresh. This was our first time and we will DEFINITELY be back!

After a day of antiquing in Putnam, wanted to try somewhere new. we opted for The Hare and Hound. Its a wonderful Irish Pub atmosphere with a very nice menu of both Irish staples balanced with typical Americana. i went for the Reuben which was stacked with thick slices of corned beef. The fries were fresh cut and the pickles are made fresh on site. My wife chose a staple of bangers and mash. This dish was accented with brussell sprouts. The service was exceptional as was the warm pub like atmosphere. Need to get back here again soon!

Best meal I’ve had in a minute! Inside and the patio both have great vibes. Julia was exceptional - made great recommendations and conversation throughout our meal. The pub pretzel with cheese and mustard was top notch; light and fluffy, perfectly flavorful. There is an in-house pastry chef who makes them from scratch along with a beautiful menu of desserts. The Melt sandwich and the Grain Bowl were fantastic! Great portions for the price. 11/10 experience, can’t wait to return!

Always fun drinks. Sugar Cookie Martini and Richer Old Fashion. Shepard's pie and chicken bacon sandwich. All delicious. Wait staff is just the right amount of attentive. Drinks are always good. Love the Irish music. Outdoor seating with heaters available. Just a great restaurant
