I can't thank the Bull's Head Inn enough for such a wonderful experience! My now husband and I had a small wedding ceremony and reception at the Inn and could not be happier with the historic and charming atmosphere, incredible food, and attentive staff. The staff were extremely accommodating to all of our needs and went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations. Our guests and family enjoyed use of the tavern after the reception with the added bonus of live music. We plan to come visit the Inn every year to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you again, Bull's Head Inn! You made our wedding day a truly memorable event.

We were in town for a funeral and decided to stop in for a quick bite. The sweet corn chowder was absolutely incredible — truly a perfect 10! Even though we live 52 minutes away, we’re already tempted to make the drive back just for that soup. The staff were great as well! Steve & Robin Albany, NY

Would not recommend for catering. Very poor communication And very unprofessional. They gave us information on the catering, excepted our date of our event and then While we were waiting for a confirmation that they were going to Do our event, they emailed us that they accepted a deposit from another Couple . Apparently, our event wasn’t feasible for them. Other words they would make more money off of another couple who obviously came after our request . Very unprofessional.

We came here on a Saturday night and had dinner in the cellar. It was a little musty, but is was very interesting and that made up for it. The entertainment was excellent. I ordered one of my very favorites that is very hard to find, Chicken Cordon Bleu. It was good, but they used solid chicken breast without pounding it out which makes it a little tough. My Aunt got the rib eye with grilled shrimp and she LOVED it. We also shared a wedge salad which was great. The bleu cheese they use is VERY GOOD! I would suggest not using such ridiculously thick bacon though. Overall, I will definitely go back to try other things on their menu.

Stopped here for dinner while passing through the town of Cobleskill. We dinned downstairs in the tavern, which was a little more laid back. Upon walking down we were greeted by a waitress who told us to have a seat wherever. There may have only been 3 or 4 tables when we got there. We quickly realized the entire downstairs was being served by one waitress, her name was Stacey. This woman was so on the ball and sweet, and not to mention not only was she now waiting on about 9-10 tables, but she was also bartending AND running for all of the food to deliver. She did not skip a beat, her drinks were on point, not too strong, not to weak.. the food was piping hot when she served it, and on top of how incredibly busy she was, she still made time to talk with us and make sure our experience there was fun. I really can’t say enough wonderful things about Stacey, coming from someone who used to waitress and bartend years ago, i was so impressed! The food was good, but we would go back again if we were ever passing through just to see Stacey!

We were able to easily make a reservation. We were seated in the pub in the basement area. The atmosphere was nice. Enjoyed the 19th century architecture and antiques/decorations. The food and drink choices were really good. Everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered. The service was good and timely during the meal. It was afterwards that was not a good experience. We received a call that we hadn't left enough cash to cover the bill. My sister had covered it as a gift to my parents for their anniversary. I watched as she counted out $216 and change for the bill, including a $36 tip. The server wasn't around after we had it ready with the receipt. So we left it on the table with the receipt next to the dishes that were left on the table that we had stacked up to make it easier to clear. Then we received the call saying there was only $116 and the change left. So we had to go back to add money cover what was missing. So now a bill that was supposed to be $179 and change became $243 plus tip and that basically became $343 with the missing $100. There should be someone to give the cash to of the server isn't available to give it to instead of leaving it on the table. Someone obviously came and took the $100 from the cash we left. If the restaurant is going to give cash prices for less then card prices to help patrons save some money, they need a better system for paying in cash and have cameras set up. It would be nice to be able to check footage to see what happened to the missing money. So if you go here and want to pay the lower prices by paying in cash, make sure you give the cash directly to your server instead of trusting that you can leave it on the table with the receipt.

Usually before coming to restaurants, I am sure to always check the reviews and always see what everyone says about certain places around where I was searching. Seeing the 4.5 stars that Bull's Head Inn had I was expecting a good dining experience with good food and service, but it was not all that. The surroundings and restaurant itself was very beautiful and charming and the servers were very polite and informing, but service was VERY slow, with food taking up to a half hour to come with little to no patrons in the dining room, and food was underwhelming. We ordered two appetizers and three entrees for the table with the appetizers being very good, but the entrees not so much. We ordered the Masterpiece Burger, Herb Chicken and the Cheese Tortellini. The Chicken and Tortellini were swimming in a pool of olive oil and were very bland and tasteless. The burger however was very basic and nothing special.

Adding a revision...As a one time local I should have remembered that there is some parking in the back at a lower level. There is a door that leads to a lower level of the Bull's Head. It leads to a cool cellar with another bar and seating to eat there also. It feels even more like a revolutionary bar and eatery. I hope it is still there.....We used to go to the Bull's Head Inn quite often when we lived in the area. The food was always very good. The service was also very good. The building had been restored. It was revolutionary style which I like very much. We went to dinner on a few St. Patrick's day and I have to say the corned beef and Cabbage was outstanding. The best I ever had. The corned beef was lean and very tender. It was great. It has been 8 years since the last time and I hope it is still the same . I guess I have to go back and see.
