Brew Pub In Historic Putnam Train Station Closes Suddenly

PUTNAM, CT — The Crossings Restaurant & Brew Pub has shut down and dissolved its business entity, according to a statement from the restaurant and filings with the Connecticut Secretary of the State.

In a social media post, the restaurant said the closure was sudden and unexpected, explaining that the landlord decided to take back the building the business was leasing. The restaurant did not say why the landlord chose to terminate the lease. The business’s website has already been taken offline.

The owners said all employees will receive their final paychecks and that the business is working to address outstanding gift card balances. Customers were asked for patience as those issues are handled.

State records show that The Crossings Restaurant and Brew Pub LLC was officially dissolved effective Jan. 2, 2026. Dissolution paperwork was filed with the state that morning, ending the company’s legal status.

The restaurant was located at 45 Main St. in downtown Putnam. Housed in the former Providence and Worcester train station, The Crossings offered rotating taps of house and guest brews, traditional American fare, and live music. The railroad-themed brewery had called Putnam home since 2013.

State business filings also show ownership changes in the months leading up to the closure. In August 2024, Niko Tresca was added as a member of the company while James V. Guillot was removed. That filing was signed by Sean P. Sullivan, who remained listed as a member. Another filing in November 2025 shows that Tresca later stopped being a member of the company.
