BEARDSLEE CASTLE
-inspired world cuisine in a magnificent setting-
Around a bend on route 5 in the heart of the historic Mohawk Valley is a setting that seems so perfect and so out of place at the same time...  on a small hill surrounded by towering black locust trees and covered with trumpet vine is a magnificent stone castle.

Built in 1860 as a replica of an Irish Castle, Beardslee Castle is at once both modern and ancient... with the finest in creative cuisine, memorable wedding receptions, independent music, and exciting special events,  all in an incredible setting.

casual Dungeon menu

In the basement at the Castle, known as THE DUNGEON, is a cozy 4 room pub featuring a casual menu during dinner hours.  After hours it's a great place for a drink, a game of pool or darts, or just watching the koi and crayfish in our 150 gallon fish tank. 

The wine room, a gated 'cell', with  hand painted vine mural ceiling, is a great spot for an intimate dinner. 

On tap we have STELLA ARTOIS, SARANAC PALE ALE, MAGIC HAT #9, BASS ALE, WOODCHUCK CIDER, NEWCASTLE BROWN ALE.
