It's easy to get used to going out to the same local restaurants that we have the pleasure of having right in our hometown, but every Blue Moon it's nice to switch things up a bit and go somewhere unique. A romantic dining destination that's a great spot to bring someone special or just to simply spoil yourself, there's a castle restaurant in New York that's inside of an actual castle and it's absolutely magical. Ready to be enchanted?
Right in Central New York just over an hour away from both Albany and Syracuse, Beardslee Castle is nothing short of enchanting.
Located in the city of Little Falls, the castle was originally built back in 1860 by Augustus Beardslee and masons from both Ireland and Switzerland.
Modeled after an Irish castle, inside you'll find a 6-foot wide wood-burning fireplace and five remarkable dining rooms on the main floor. If you've ever wanted to experience dinner in a castle, you must come here.
Making you feel like royalty, the limestone castle has experienced two major fires since originally being built but still manages to look as amazing as ever in modern times.
The last fire to take place was in 1989 just 70 years after the first one. It wasn't until after being abandoned for several years and undergoing two years of restoration that the current owners would open the restaurant back up in 1994.
A longtime favorite place to bring someone special or to even have your wedding, the amazing dishes you'll find served on the main floor are from a menu that changes weekly.
Make your way downstairs and you'll find a more casual environment waiting for you at The Dungeon Bar & Grill - a four-room pub.
The Dungeon features a casual menu during dinner hours and also has a 250-bottle wine list and over a hundred beers available to you. One of the largest wine selections you'll ever find in Central New York!
Giving you the chance to feast on unforgettable dishes while you're in a spectacular setting, Beardslee Castle is worth making a visit to.
This castle restaurant in New York is absolutely magical, and definitely a romantic place to visit.
