What Chönyi R dislikes about Bull's Head Inn:
Basement downstairs reeks of typical basement smell (damp mold). If you can get seating upstairs I would give it a 4 out of 5. Basement maybe a 2 or 3 out of 5. However to be fair you don’t really realize the smell after being down there for 10+ minutes. Vegetarian options: All burgers can be made with beyond beef instead of beef for a small surcharge. Service: Dine in View all feedback.

Make that reservation and be transported back in time to the 1800’s! Weekends they have live music downs stairs. Book your private party up stairs. Where you may just walk past their ghost. The main floor has so much history. A cocktail menu to die for. Wide selection of yummy foods to choose from and a tasty desserts. They even have a Gluten Free menu. After words check out the town! Dietary restrictions: They do have a GF menu Service: Dine in

Walking up you will see this place has been here since 1802. There is a reason for that. Great atmosphere. Attentive staff. Music that rocks but not so loud as to not be able to have conversation. Had the chicken pot. Only negative is it is so hot you may burn your tongue eating this tasty meal. Luckily for me I have a large mouth and was able to wrap my lips around the club sandwich. For apps the cheesy Mac bites are super. Highly recommend stopping here!!!

Located in a historic building dating back to the 1800s, this restaurant offers a unique dining experience with great atmosphere and exceptional food. The staff is attentive and the music adds to the lively ambience without being overwhelming. The menu includes vegetarian options, such as beyond beef burgers for a small surcharge. While the service may not be perfect due to understaffing, the overall dining experience is worth the visit. Make a reservation to enjoy live music on weekends downstairs or book a private party upstairs, where you may even come across a ghost. The cocktail menu is impressive, and there is also a gluten-free menu available. Overall, this restaurant offers great value for money, delicious food, and a rich historical charm that makes it a must-visit spot.

1st time back at Bull's Head Inn since a college student in the late 1970's! The atmosphere is historic, the food is delicious, and Stacey our bartender and waitress was personable, efficient, and fun.

Little pricey but great food. We sat downstairs in the basement bar and loved the atmosphere. Stacey was our server and bartender and she was absolute gem! She also makes the best old fashion around!

Hostess mentioned a 20 mins wait. We agreed, she then mentioned the wait is more like 40 mins. We left. There were 3 tables seated at the place. Weird vibes.

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The Specials was confusion and food horrible. All items on the menu had prices to them except the desert which only stated $1.99 for a scoop of ice cream. I explained I assumed the desert was apart of the diner specials. The manager came over with such an agressive and racist attitude I felt threatened. Never have I dealt with such unprofessionalism and extreme racism . When I explained the situation to the hotel I was staying at they told me they would never recommend the restaurant due to the expensive horrible food.

On a whim returning from Cooperstown we were looking for a place to eat and stumbled upon the Bull's Head Inn located in Cobelskill. This historic haunted inn located here since 1802 was restored to its former glory by the most recent owners was perfectly completed. Appetizer, full not the half- was perfect for 2 Baked Brie wrapped in filo dough topped with a delicious warm mixed fruit compote, served with cracker's. As we ate it we felt the compote could be a pie filling or served over ice cream it was that good. Entree- we both had this as it just jumped at us both. Stuffed Chicken Cordon Bleu Boneless, skinless, chicken layered with baked ham, Swiss cheese and topped with dijon parm sauce. One was served with a disassembled loaded baked potato the second smashed potatoes and fresh green beens Dessert Tuxedo Bomb duel flavored chocolate mousse covered in a chocolate shell. I skipped the ice cream. Madison was our server and she was absolutely perfect and on point with the excellent dirty martinis. Chris the owner stopped at the table which was an excellent touch, nice to see management working the floor supporting staff. Burgers, wraps, ribs and pastas all also looked great. Already planning a visit back!

I ordered the bbq ribs. The portion was huge. The ribs were good for pre sauced ribs. Not my favorite way of having them but they were good. ExCtly what you expect when order ribs from a restaurant that doesn't specialize in BBQ. The portion was what stood out. I ordered a half rack and I don't know if someone messed up or what but I ended up with what seemed to me like a full rack of ribs. The ribs came with your standard issue steak fries. Cooked in the typical fashion. They were exactly what you expect when you order steak fries. There may have been a side of coleslaw in there. I can't remember. That's how good bad it was. Either way the food was good, not off the chain but good. The cellar was a trip though. They had this jazz cat down there that seemed like he could have been one of the aliens from Buckaroo Banzai. He was playing stand up bass along with some crazy pre-recorded accompaniment. And the songs were all over the place. From hip-hop and rock to crazy Latin stuff. It was like if your kid hit the random play button on Spotify. It was more surreal than anything. The guy was kinda weird and the songs were kind of weird, and the vibe was pretty wacky. Not bad... just like maybe you've stepped into a David Lynch film. Anyways it's good. Food was good. Weird is good

Always excellent food! Onion soup the best anywhere! Ribeye tender and tasty! Seafood pasta is a great addition to the menu. I have my holiday meals there. I've been going there for over two years, always delighted!

I had the strangest experience at the Bull 's Head, where my meal was excellent (kudos to the kitchen) but the distinct lack of flexibility and hospitality from the hosts left me with a bad feeling for the whole experience. Food gets 4 stars but only 1 star for front of house. My party arrived 5pm on a fall Saturday where almost all the tables in the restaurant were open. We didn 't have a reservation so the hostess said she would only seat us in the cellar tavern. Understandable, maybe all the other tables have reservations and the restaurant would be full before we left (remember this for later in the review) She leads us into the basement where they have a bar and a mix of high tops and four top tables. The first thing that hit me was the overwhelming mildew smell. I should have left then, but I like old inns and despite the odor, it was an interesting space. The hostess leads me to a table right next to a band setting up. When I say next to , I mean butting up against their equipment and underneath a speaker. I politely asked if we can take one of the multiple unoccupied tables further away from band and received a curt no. Maybe these tables would also be filled shortly? Nope. Halfway through our meal, the band starts playing and we can 't hear each other. We wrap up our meal in about 75 minutes The food is good, but we can 't hear each other over the band who we 're practically in their laps despite other tables still being open (Only one other table came in after us) and the mildew smell is still strong, Here 's the kicker...as we walked out of the basement tavern, most of the tables were still empty and the upstairs had only a few tables occupied. They could have sat us anywhere, but chose to give us bad seats and wouldn 't entertain a request to move tables even though plenty were open and would likely be open most of the evening. It left us feeling unwelcome and unsatisfied. Reading through other Yelp reviews, this seems to be a regular occurrence rather than an outlier. So, I can say the kitchen here is doing a good job, but I wouldn 't sit in the cellar and I wouldn 't show up without a reservation with specific requests.

The food was excellent. The problem is that employees are short. Had a buffet night there, our drinks came when we were almost ready with our dinner. Our tablemate said when I shoot, they'll take me a drink? Great atmosphere and food, not the waiting staff mistakes, asked too much to cover, we saw our waiters deck tables, the bar and bring food to the buffet from the kitchen. You need to rent or have the staff available.

Beautiful, historic building with a fantastic menu which provided options for my gluten intolerance, and excellent, friendly service. Very welcoming atmosphere and clean bathrooms. We drove over an hour during our vacation to give it a try, and we will definitely be back again! I especially recommend the eggplant fries! Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten free menu upon request and available online.
