Bear & Dragon

Bear & Dragon Cafe was a really nice spot for dinner—the new pub menu is solid, and the cozy cottage vibe makes it feel welcoming right away. No reservations needed, which was perfect for just dropping in. We kicked things off with drinks: my wife had the Dickens Night Cap cocktail (pretty coupe glass, nice frothy top with warm spices—she really enjoyed it), and I started with a Guinness that our server kindly offered on the house as it was an accidental poor, which I was happy to take advantage. My wife went with the Fish and Chips—crispy beer-battered rockfish, thick-cut fries, fresh lemon, and creamy tartar sauce. She said it was spot-on classic pub fare, flaky and satisfying. Definitely not the best she had had, but probably her favorite in the Prescott area. I had the Steak Frites—juicy grilled steak slices with good fries and the sauces (chimichurri was a bit too vinegary for my taste, but the overall dish was tasty and the portions were generous). We finished with the Turtle Cheesecake—creamy layers, caramel, pecans, and whipped cream. Rich, not overly sweet, and a great way to wrap up. Our server was friendly and attentive. The cocktail took a little longer since there’s no dedicated bartender, but it wasn’t a hassle. Everything else came out hot and well done. Overall, a really enjoyable meal in a charming place. The new menu works well, and we’ll definitely plan to come back!

Dinner with my family was good- I tried and enjoyed the Pit Pub Burger. In my opinion, it would be better if lettuce & tomato were included for no extra charge. The portions that we were served filled us up. I would recommend this place to people with an interest in literature and classical topics.

I do not say this lightly, but this is one of the top breakfasts I have ever had. The French Omelette was absolutely outstanding and paired perfectly with the hashbrowns. By far one of the, if not the best omelette I’ve ever had. The execution was flawless, and the flavors and textures hit just right. But the food is only part of what makes this place special. The overall aesthetic of the restaurant is amazing with their library style setup and the J.R. Tolkien quotes on the menu. Chef’s kiss for the ambiance alone. The staff were amazing. Personable, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Me and my family literally felt like we were eating somewhere out of a fantasy. It’s rare to find a restaurant where everything comes together so perfectly. Absolute top recommendation if coming to Prescott. Don’t skip it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is a very unique and interesting restaurant. We all had the Steinbecks breakfast. It was very tasty. There are many books on shelves, kinda like eating in a library. The staff was a very pleasant breakfast spot. It was quite busy, a short wait but worth the experience.

We ate here for lunch and had a wonderful experience. Food was spectacular, service was excellent and atmosphere was charming and warm. We enjoyed our experience so much so that we are going back next week for our 30 year anniversary. Don’t visit Prescott without this restaurant on your list.
