With 150 years of history and legendary tales of ghosts and spirits that only accentuate the natural energy of the property, Beardslee Castle is a perfect setting for any event.

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.
