The Bidwell has great food and a wonderful old historic atmosphere. The old tavern is decorated with century old photos of Coventry and heated with a charming wood stove in the winter. We always bring folks here when they visit Coventry for the first time.
The Bidwell is located in the heart of historic Coventry Village. While there, be sure to visit some of our great antique shops or head over to Patriots Park to watch the sun set over Patriots Park.
Good Prices. Great Wings, but the potato skins lacked a little salt. Drinks don't have free refills (I Think, since the soda came in a bottle), so be wary of that if that's a deal breaker. Overall, 4.5 star experience. Would go again for the wings. By the way, the best flavor definitely has to be Honey Garlic. If you go there, get the Honey Garlic wings, you wont regret it. Did I mention their wings are great? Really good wings. Seriously. Stop reading this and go get their wings. No, really. Dude, please. Stop.
We ordered a double batch of wings ( 40 )and we were charged for 40 wings but received 20 wings my sweet husband had to go back and forth several times to retrieve the order correctlyordered at 6 pm didn't get wings until 7:45didn't get home until 8 pmruined our Friday night. So disappointed. When we received the wings neither box of 20 wings had been flavored with the honey BBQ or Buffalo that we had ordered. We will be using Lakeside from now on. If zero stars were an option, I'd have used zero.
Pretty good food, a little bit of history, and plenty of room for all kinds of eaters. There's even a bar and a patio. I heard the wings are amazing; I agree that they're above average.
Great staff, food and the atmosphere was great! Full house tonight, but chose a table in the bar. Have been going for the wings over a decade, now. Will definately go back. Highly recommend 🖒
Went here after my son's high school graduation. I got the chicken curry and my wife got the bean tacos. VERY GOOD. the manager brought us out a cake for desert. Darian was very helpful as our server. WOW
Excellent, we took the family for dinner tonight. Alyssa our waitress,was right on the spot. We ate outside, very nice. Alyssa and the rest of the Bidwell Staff kept an eye on the weather as well. They provided direction if the weather should change. I am impressed.
Thank you for your great service and concern

The Bidwell is a local attraction that's been around since the 1800's. If you can sit in the old part of the building, it's pretty funky and cool. The food is standard pub fare, and some things are better than others. The place has a reputation for wings, and they are pretty reliably good. There's good beer on tap. I find the newer parts of the restaurant to be noisy and unpleasant to sit in- lots of hard surfaces and people shouting because it's like an echo chamber.
Awesome food, dispite service was slow,it was exceptable because of the extreme boost in their peek time.. betweem Xmas n New Years can be unpredictable.
The quality of the foods ok, but the wing flavors are almost all amazing. Sit next to the woodstove on a snowy evening, enjoy a plate amd have a beer. It's a great place.
Cute atmosphere. Weekend music. Food is just OK.
Pretty good food in a rustic setting. I've only been here once, but I'd recommend this place to anyone
Great place for snacks or a meal. Outside patio is nice
