This is the perfect example of "Don't judge a book by it's cover". In town for short trip and someone recommended this place. We found it before it opened and we're not impressed. My wife thought they were out if business. Then a few other people arrived to what of them to open as well. Once open we went in and were first surprised to be asked about a reservation. (At a tavern?) Nipe but they could seat us. It was immediately my kind of place, Old school tavern look. We'll dressed staff, clean looking welcoming hosts. Wow did the place fill up fast. Food was fantastic. I had a burger and wife salmon. Two drinks and desert. $120 was a fair price. Service was great and wait staff was friendly, prompt and answered any questions. (Wife is gf) Highly recommended!

If you are visiting Beaufort, you’ll hear that Old Bull Tavern is the place to go, but the "no reservations" policy can be intimidating. Here is the strategy that worked for us on a busy holiday weekend: Get there by 4:30 PM. ​We arrived 30 minutes before opening and were able to walk right in and grab seats at the bar. It was absolutely the right move because the line grew fast, and once we tasted the food and drinks, we knew why. ​Sitting at the bar was a show in itself—the bartenders were amazing to watch as they handled a packed house with precision. ​The Highlights: ​The Drinks: The cocktail list is extensive and creative. We tried the LBG, London Calling, Bearded Brothers, and an Aviation, but the absolute standout for me was the Italian Stallion (Ginger Whiskey & Biscotti Liquor)—ea

Great food and atmosphere. This place was fun and very unique. This is a amazing hidden gem in a beautiful city. I met one of the owners while looking around the bar. He was very polite, informative, thankful, and fantastic to talk to. I also spoke with one of the female bartenders who was fun to talk to and very informative about the area. I already had dinner but do to the unique menu I chose to order two of their apitizers to take back to my hotel. The appetizers did not disappoint. I will will definitely be back to try their full menu with family/friends! The only reason I rated the food 4/5 is due to not having any of their main dishes to accurately vouch for. When I return and have their full menu with friends/family I will update this post!

Just a short walk from the Beaufort inn. Nice place. I had the pappy flight. Worth it. Dinner was great. The pasta and shoulder was delicious

What a wonderful experience my wife and I had on our last day of vacation! We tried to make a reservation a while ago, but the only time available was a 5 PM slot, which we gladly accepted. When we arrived 15 minutes before 5:00, there was already a line of people waiting to get into the restaurant. The doors opened promptly at 5 PM, and everyone was seated quickly. Wow, we both enjoyed a delicious meal, and the service was excellent. My wife ordered the pork chops, and let me tell you, they were delicious—at least from the few bites she shared with me! I had the Angus beef, which was very good, but I think I would have preferred the pork chops my wife had. We also shared the tiramisu for dessert, which was quite tasty as well. I definitely recommend making reservations early and prepa
