Tunnicliff Inn & Restaurant – The Pit

The Tunnicliff Inn & Restaurant – The Pit is a Cooperstown landmark that pairs rooms for overnight guests with a casual dining room. It sits just 498 feet from the National Baseball Hall of Fame, so a visit to the museum and a meal or a night’s stay are an easy walk apart.

The restaurant serves American Continental cooking in a room called “The Pit,” and getting there is half the fun. The room is reachable only by a staircase from the street. Guests who book a room can stay and eat under the same roof without moving the car.
