The Dining Experience:

Purple Bull Tavern has the best of the simple things in life.  If you're looking for a hearty homestyle meal, a juicy steak, a choice fish fillet or the finest prime rib in Lake County, Purple Bull Tavern is the perfect dining destination.

Amongst our quality entrees, the tavern offers a variety of salads, appetizers, desserts and daily specials. Each order is prepared from scratch with superior ingredients and homemade sauces.

The History:

After short-lived corporate management in 2010-2011, Mark Danford assumed control of the business, then known as Olde Towne Tavern.  His hands-on approach restored the establishment to its former reputation of the 1990s.

In accordance with his individuality, Mark has since built upon the original idea to revitalize and revive the restaurant. Purple Bull Tavern has taken the old concept one step further by infusing unique food and drink concepts as well as recruiting top notch kitchen and wait staff.

The Bar:

When the new management took over the tavern in 2012, bar food was not the primary focus.  Ironically, Purple Bull soon developed the best bar food around including jumbo wings with homemade sauces, half pound Angus burgers and specialty pizzas.

The tavern provides a full service bar along with a large additional bar outside during the summer months.  Happy hour offers quality $2 top shelf cocktails and $5 triple top shelf martinis every Thursday.  Purple Bull Tavern also has an excellent wine list as well as a vast array of American micro brews and European lagers.

Not only does Purple Bull offer quality food and drink, it is offered to you at a competitive price.
