I've been around Davis long enough to see this building go through 3 different names! We heard that as its current name it had great food so we decided to try it out. We got there right at opening and the server/hostess, Aurora, greeted us with a warm smile and welcome. There are two choices of spots to sit at - low tables/booths or high top tables with stools. We opted for a low table. I ordered the Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese sandwich with sweet potato fries and my friend ordered the Chinichurri Tri-Tip sandwich with a side salad. When our meals came out, we were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes! I feel like I had a lot of fries on my plate and the sandwich was stuffed with meat! The side salad and tri-tip was pretty hefty too. My sandwich was DELICIOUS! I was only able to eat half so I left with half for lunch the next day. My friend was the same. I love when I can get two meals out of one!! The restaurant carries a very fun vibe. I can imagine it is so lively when it is packed! There is an area in the back that gives off a speakeasy vibe. Overall, awesome restaurant! Great food, awesome service and chill vibe. read more

Full disclosure: what kept me coming back was the Portobello Mushroom Fries -- an appetizer that's no longer on the menu. RIP. That said, there's still plenty worth coming back for. The Cowboy Cuban is the next best thing I've found on the menu and worth ordering. The house dressing is excellent too. The Down the Hatch burger was decent, just didn't have quite enough flavor for my taste -- not a reason to skip the place, but I'd go Cowboy Cuban first. Love coming with the dog when weather permits. read more

Honestly...this is the best burger in Davis. I can confidently say that this burger deserves the title. The pickles are sweet, the burger patty is large and juicy, and the pairings give it the pedestal. (They have veggie options too) The garlic fries are great, drink selection is bountiful, and staff seemed very nice! Interior is eye candy and vintage looking. Love this place. read more

Bar tender was super nice, made our fave drinks and meal was awesome. All the staff were super friendly food was really good, or well we got an appetizer to fill us up, and was super good. The setting of the pub was very cool, a library with leather seats , oo so fancy.. No it really is cool, if your in the area, please stop on in and have a drink or two, maybe some yummy food too?! Totally worth it! read more

I really enjoyed this spot. My family went to try something new and I'm happy we did. I couldn't complain at all about the meal for any of us. The ambience was really lovely, I got the English pub vibe. The service was really nice and I really wanted to try the library section of the restaurant the next time I stop in. It was filled with books and seamed like a nice place to eat a small lunch, have a cocktail and relax. read more

Came in at 12 on a Sunday and there were very little people, so service was quick. Ambiance is very comfortable and the hosts are great. Had the steak and avocado salad which came in about ten minutes. The regular sized salad is super big and very flavorful, so much that it doesn't need the dressing and cheese. Every component except the veggies and nuts were seasoned and the steak was perfectly cooked medium rare. It was a bit tough especially because it's not fully cut through when served, but there are tender parts. The bleu cheese is only funky on its own and pairs great with the pickled onions. The portion of steak is not bad and I think the fried/pickled onion, half avocado, and walnuts were given generously. Very satisfied overall and highly recommend! read more

I stopped into this place while waiting to go to a Yelp event. We wanted a drink and this place looked inviting. It's a nice size and has a dinning are to sit but we went straight to the bar. There were a few people inside and at the bar too. The bartender greeted us and gave us a drink menu. He had to bring some food to outer patrons. It looked like he was waiting on the tables at the dinning room too. My friend got a beer and I got a Scotch neat. I enjoyed the bar. It really was nice. If in the area again I will come back. read more

My family and I mistakenly drove out to Davis while trying to go to West Sacramento - if you know you know - so we decided to have dinner while in the area. Bull 'N Mouth seemed interesting and had decent ratings on Yelp. I liked the cozy feel inside and they even had a really cool area that they labeled "Library" where they encourage you to be loud. It had a comfy couch, TVs and even a book wall. We ordered the Elote Chicken Salad, Grilled Cheese Burger with Garlic Fries and the Kids Grilled Cheese with Fruit. The Elote Chicken Salad was okay - they originally brought me the Cobb Salad by mistake and it actually looked better than the salad I ordered. My daughter loved her Grilled Cheese and she liked that the fruit was thin apple slices and dried cranberries. My husband liked his burger as well. We came on trivia night without knowing so the place was pretty busy, but our server was friendly and attentive. She was actually the one who noticed that my salad was wrong before me - I was so hungry, I didn't even notice! Overall, I really liked the vibe of Bull 'N Mouth. My family and I will definitely come back and check them out again next time we are in the area. Check them out! read more

From the moment we arrived, it was a great experience all around. Parking was surprisingly easy in the late evening with plenty of street spots available, and there's even a lot located just across the street if needed. The service was great. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The steak and avocado salad was delicious. It came loaded with grilled tri tip slices, rip avocado, blue cheese, cherry tomatoes, pickled red onions, and toasted walnuts. A good balance of rich and fresh flavors. I opted for the green goddess dressing, which complemented the salad beautifully. We also tried the Bull Burger, and it's clear why it's a favorite. Served on a buttery artisan bun, the burger was packed with flavor thanks to crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, smoky BBQ sauce, and their signature Bull Sauce. We decided to upgrade to the garlic fries, and they were worth every bite, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfectly seasoned with plenty of garlic. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to. read more

This was not a full dinner review but for Happy hour- so I will keep it brief. I was happy with what I had and wanted to share. Drinks- 8/10 - I wanted more, flavor was right for an Old Fashioned and the JD Bonded Whiskey is highly recommended. Brandied Cherry was a fantastic touch. Beer selection is good here too. Pub food: 7/10. Chicharrones were so deliciously light and crispy- a 9/10! Pork Flautas fell a little flat but just ok is fine for a quick bite of bbq flavor. I would try the Tri Tip in a salad or something else next time. Overall it's a 7.8/10 with room to grow. I will give the BBq a chance so I can truly gage the overall experience. Staff were friendly and bartender knocked it out of the park. read more

Beyond burger is $20 they charge extra. Their veggie burger has gluten No bun so I ordered a lettuce to wrap Burger came cold and gooey inside Fries tasted and looked funny, supposed to be gluten free Two ppl ordered the same chicken dish, one was great, the other was cold. Couldn't find server and anyone for awhile, finally they recooked it but then it was chicken jerky. Dry and hard and over cooked They had seating for a large party but don't think they had staff or a manager to walk around and pay attention Parking is hard to find to come Not worth it, esp for the prices read more

Went just when they opened so it was not crowded. Ordered the down the hatch burger that has chiles in it and asked for medium patty. I was hoping for some heat, but unfortunately not there. The patty was definitely on the more well done side so it was not juicy. I still enjoyed my burger since I was craving one. The fries were perfectly cooked. There is a cute little library nook they have that you can sit at and enjoy the dark ambiance. read more

My husband & I came here for dinner Fri 9/12 around 5pm, so it was still during Happy Hour. We chose to sit at a high top table, & Angela was our server. I got the 16oz Gummy Worm Hazy $5hh & my husband got a tall $9. We shared an order of their delicious breaded fried Green Beans $12.50, which were good hot and crispy. I got an order of Popcorn Shrimp $13 unfortunately they were pretty salty this time. I asked for a bread roll since they no longer sell the Shrimp Po Boy sandwich, but the roll was possibly old since it didn't taste very good. My husband enjoyed his Smokehouse Fries $10 read more

Came here for a late lunch, early dinner on a Saturday. The ambiance inside is amazing, it's like a proper pub. In the back they have a cozy library nook which is set up like a lounge but you can also sit here and eat. The decor is great and there's plenty to look at while you're inside. Service was average for a midday lull, our server who was also the bartender was personable, friendly, accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. We felt welcomed and looked after. Food was very good! We had the Smokehouse Fries to start. The pulled pork and toppings were a great flavor combo, delicious. The fries were big and extra crispy just like we liked them. Portion was great. For mains we had the Alabama Jama sandwich and the Chicken Cali both with side salads. The ranch dressing for the salads was sooooo good. I want the recipe! The sandwiches were loaded with fresh tomatoes, avocado, crunchy pickles and crisp lettuce, crispy bacon, melty cheese and moist flavorful chicken. Buns were a brioche form of bun which was the perfect accompaniment and held up well for the generous portions! Mocktails were also inventive and delicious. Price was right, and we didn't leave with sticker shock. We can't wait to come back!!! read more

It was a hotter-than-hot summer day in Davis and I was in town to help out with an ahhhhmazing Yelp Elite Event at a nearby tiki bar. My colleague and I were famished after the event, and she recommended we check out Bull 'N Mouth for some late night eats. I was not disappointed! We started with a massive plate of delicious popcorn shrimp. They were super hot and super tasty, served with a yummy dipping sauce, and the perfect accompaniment to one of my faves: an Anderson Valley amber ale (which is nearly impossible to find on tap - or even in a can - anywhere near my house in the PNW). For an entree, I grabbed their steak and avocado salad. The veggies and dressing were yummy and fresh. The steak, while perfectly cooked, was pretty tough to be honest, and I found it hard to finish. Loved the Irish-pub-meets-library atmosphere here! And our server was incredibly friendly. Would definitely love to check them out again next time I'm in town. read more

Ambiance: Bull 'N Mouth is a dark western style bar and diner. Service: we went at 2 pm and was quite empty. The server was incredibly friendly and inviting. Food: we ordered the cowboy cuban and chimichurri tri tip. The cowboy Cuban was delicious. The pulled porked was packed in like a burger patty. It was well seasoned and had a sweet and savory barbecue sauce that went with it. I did find the bread to be a bit stale. The chimichurri was sweet and fresh. The tri tip was cooked well as well. The fries that was served with a burger was crispy and fluffy. We really enjoyed them. The pickled peppers were a nice touch. read more

We called in a pick up order on a Sunday afternoon. There were some items we were interested in ordering after seeing menu photos on Yelp, but learned they had recently changed the menu. The first 2 attempts were gone, the 3rd attempt was still on the menu but not available, so we settled on a 4th choice. What we ended up getting-- The Bull Burger--good Kids Grilled Cheese--perfectly toasted & cheesy Chimichurri Tri Tip--good, wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped St Louis Ribs & Beer Cheese Mac & Cheese side--good, tender ribs 3 Meat BYO with St Louis Ribs, Pulled Pork, & Andouille Sausage with 2 Beer Cheese Mac & Cheese sides--enjoyed, meats had good flavor Fries came with the burger & sandwiches. They were thick cut and there was a mix up in how a garlic fries upgrade was packaged. The Beer Cheese Mac & Cheese definitely has a beer forward flavor. The food was nicely packed. The person who took our order sounded apologetic about menu items not being available. Overall impression is that it was fine/good, but I'm not tempted to revisit. read more

The library was pretty... but sticky. Yes sticky. We walked in and the girl folding napkins didn't look up from her phone, but the bartender welcomed us in. Decent selection of local beers and liquor. I got a soda and the cups were plastic which was interesting, the thin ones from a school cafeteria vibe. I ordered the tritip salad which tasted like burnt cumin meat, really overcooked and likely reheated from the day before. The menu said candied walnuts, they were raw unseasoned walnuts. Avocado was the best part. Partner ordered the grilled cheese burger which was literally a burger patty in between a grilled cheese cut in half. Not bad but nothing to write home about. The fries were a thick cut with some salt, again just edible. The fried green beans were really coated thick with something we couldn't quite put our finger on, very crunchy but a ton of that breading starch taste. Nothing special, but prices also were reasonable so I imagine the college kids love it here. Won't eat there again, but wouldn't mind coming back for a local beer and will avoid the library. read more

Love this place. I have been coming here since I was in college. (Many many years ago!). This management runs it nicely. Our waitress was Skylar. So sweet and patient. We sat at a high top near the door and it took about 20-30 minutes for my son and his girlfriend to join us. She was attentive and patient even when we stayed for 2 hours. I gotta say the food here is great! The pulled pork is amazing. The mac 'n cheese is great. My husband usually gets the 3 meat platter with 2 sides. The ribs were good and the pulled pork, the sausage he didn't get to because he was full. He had coleslaw and mac n cheese on the side. I didn't try the coleslaw but he liked it. The chicken burger and salad the others had looked sooo good. I will be back to try them. They still have the library there that they have had for years. My husband and I have sat with drinks and played scrabble in the past and it's always a nice night. I would come here every week if we didn't live in Marin. read more

The menu has changed. Happy Hour Menu Appetizer Menu Over all Menu Has all changed Everything we came in to order was not on the menu.

It was a waste of our time driving & parking to get there. read more

Tried Bull'n Mouth while in Davis for lunch. Right from the start, the vibe is spot on--low lights and walls decked out with old-school beer cans, some from a while ago. The kind that requires a can opener to pop them open. The decor is so unique; it really sets the chill bar vibes. We did have a minor hiccup with the soda spout, as our first sodas tasted a little off. But the staff quickly got us switched over to Pepsi, so no big deal there. For food, we ordered the Cowboy Cuban and the Bull Burger, both of which came with these large, crispy fries that were just perfect. On each table, there's a bottle of their BBQ sauce, which we used to dip our fries in, and let me tell you, it was amazing! Also comes with a small side of picked bell pepper. Perfect compliment to the burger. The best fries I've had in Davis. Bull'n Mouth is definitely a great burger spot in Davis--worth a visit if you're in the area! Check out what we ate! read more

06/06/2025 at 12:25 PM FOOD & DRINKS The IPA I had from a local brewer was cold and delicious. Ordered "The Bull" Burger as listed on the menu and cooked to medium doneness and opted for the fries over the salad. It all satisfied, no disappointments on my side. I'll happily come back for a delicious meal! SERVICE Greeted immediately, questions answered quickly, seated and helped very quickly. The service is on point. DECOR A clean well apportioned western-ish older style of a classy bar. I like the vibe and the layout. The library is a cool touch and would like to come back with friends and hang out there. It is full and NOT overly so. CLEANLINESS In the top 10% based on what I see. Very well taken care of. LOCATION Good location, parking can be a pain.

Great bourbon selection and beer selection. Food was very good pub fair. Service is 10 out of 10.

Passing through Davis for the weekend and had a meal here--it was decent but left a little to be desired. I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could! Service was nice, the place was clean and had a fun pub atmosphere. Food was good but nothing spectacular. Their beer cheese with peppers and andouille sausage and pretzel bread was quite yummy. They took their shrimp po boy off the menu :( I was so sad about that. Got the chicken sandwich instead, which was just okay. A little boring, and sort of dry. The fries were nice and crispy but definitely a little greasy. I actually had major salad envy from my partner, who got the chicken elote salad (subbed mixed greens instead of iceberg lettuce--that's the way to go). Really enjoyed the freshness and combination of flavors of everything. Their drinks were mid, sorry to say. The Pollinator was good but something in it was too sweet for me (better as the ice melted) and my partner didn't like the margarita mix they use for any of their margs. They didn't have a ton of gluten free options. I'm not gluten free but my partner is, and I always feel bummed when the only thing he can really eat is a salad (though to be fair, I liked his salad more than my sandwich.) They do have bbq options (their slaw and salad are the only GF sides--fries are not gluten free) and I think they may have been able to do lettuce wrapped burgers, it just would've been nice to have something else like a rice bowl during dinner time as an option. Two out of five of us got sandwiches and took off the majority of the bread and ended up feeling kind of icky afterward. Not anything crazy but just a little gross. All in all, not a bad option especially for late night but not great overall. If I found myself back here I'd try something else with an open mind, but I don't think I'd be back unless everything else was closed. read more

We went last night, beer selection was very good. We had multiple bbq options chicken quarters, St. Louis ribs, beef ribs, and pulled pork. The hush puppies with honey butter was very good. The ribs were a bit saucy and you could not hold the sauce. The St. Louis were very tender. The pulled pork wasn't great but wasn't terrible. The ambiance was nice and the atmosphere was fun. read more

I'm rating this in terms of a "family restaurant" so take that as context. I was searching for a sit down in downtown Davis with a kids menu, and this is one of the few options. First time visiting. Ambience - Came at lunch time, was pretty slow. Lighting is low and gives off a kind of dingy feel. Decor is a bit maximalist for my taste, but it's intended to be a cozy college bar of course. Service - Okay. My soft drink wasn't refilled during my meal but the waitress caught it when the check came. She offered it in a to go cup which was nice. Food came out a bit slow even as the place wasn't too busy (Saturday PM, school in session). Food - Here's where are the lost stars are. Value for the quality was off. Pricey with lots of up charges ($1 to add cheese to a kids hamburger, $2 for garlic fries). My chicken sandwich - the filet - was almost flavorless. Almost like it wasn't even salted. Pickled onions, peppers, and asking for a side of buffalo made it edible. Garlic fries had very little garlic and the fries were more steak fries shape which is not my fave (soggier). Kids meals were pricey and I was thrown off by the dried cranberries in the fruit side. I expected all fresh fruit. Husband had the down the hatch burger and said "just okay." All in all, we won't be back. The brewery in town is where a $20 burger is worth it. Convenient to have this restaurant in downtown but that's not enough to balance out the so-so food. I'm sure it's a fun bar and has a different vibe for dinner/night life. read more

The drinks are very inconsistent. In September of last year they used to serve the $3 ciders and beers in pint glasses but now they use little plastic cups. Same with the $2 shooters they are in like Dixie cups now. The deal was too good to be true but still a good amount now for the price (but used to be way better). Sometimes the customer service is pretty bad but there are a lot of people and only 2 staff members so they should put in more people. Ambience is cool because it's different than other bars and allows for socializing but I do wish the music was a bit louder. read more

A friend and I arrived for lunch a little before noon. We were offered our choice of tables. Most were bar stool height but luckily there were some standard tables and chairs as my friend and I are both petite and it's hard for us to climb up on bar stools. We were given menus and asked if we wanted to start with shots. We declined. We both ordered the rice bowls with chicken. They weren't quite what we had expected but were quite tasty. My friend thought the portion size was rather small but I was able to save enough for lunch the next day. When our plates were cleared away the waiter again asked if we wanted shots. I think he was joking with us, we again declined. He presented the check. On looking it over I noticed a small "fee" but at the bottom was a discount for paying with cash in the amount of the fee. Seems fair to charge back what the credit card companies charge businesses. As I like to pay cash for small businesses, that's what we did and avoided the fee. read more

This spot is definitely the best pub food in the area. There are many options for delicious burgers and sandwiches on the menu. I tried the beer cheese burger and shrimp po boy. Beer cheese burger: B Honestly I thought the burger tasted fantastic. Juicy patty smothered with a ton of tasty cheese, plus a sausage on it. The only problem is it's a mess to eat and there was too much moisture so the bun got soggy. Shrimp po boy: B+ This was a great sandwich, well balanced with flavor and texture. The popcorn shrimp taste great by itself and the rest of the sandwich is soft so it's easy to bite into. Fries: B+ Great texture and crispy exterior, salted well. A little too greasy for my preference so I can't eat the entire portion they give. read more
