    Bouncers have egos. It’s my birthday (12:30 AM on 1/11) and they refused to let us in. Said they were at full capacity (understandable) but we watched 20 people walk out and they continued to refuse our entrance—our business. While we stood outside the ~5’11 blonde guy was pointing through the door and saying “what’re they doing standing there?!” Disappointing service. We had a great time last year on my birthday but as of this year, the White Bull has lost our service. Do not recommend. Rude, unnecessarily stubborn staff. It’s giving petty high-school attitude.

    White Bull Tavern wasn't our first choice, but all other places near by, were either too full or completely empty, so we compromised at this one. First time here, On Saturday midafternoon, place was almost empty on the first floor, but we took our chances. Menu is limited but both of our orders Skillet spinach Artichoke dip and Bacon Bourbon Brussel Sprouts came out very good. The pita bread was outstanding. Took a star off as they don't serve fries, that we prefer when having a beer. Instead, they offered chips which was odd for us. As we sat there sipping IPA, we observed couple teen groups who came one after another on what appear alcohol tours, ordered one round of shots and left. Bartenders refused drinks offered by the teens, which we thought was cool since we have witnessed bartenders doing shots while working. However, bartenders ID only the person who ordered the drinks, not everyone in the teen groups. This was alarming and clearly in the violation of MA drinking age laws. The owners may have to enforce more strict ID policy or risk losing their liquor license.

    Bar staff walked in on me while using the bathroom and then said some weird stuff. I’d stay away. Not a good vibe.
