Bull's Head Tavern was an establishment located on Bowery, a street in Manhattan, New York City. The tavern opened around 1750. It was initially used as a recuriment center for Loyalists fighting against the rebellion. It was also famous for being the place where George Washington established his temporary headquarters in November 1783. The tavern was later owned by local butcher Henry Astor, the patriarch of the notable Astor family.
