It’s possible that strolling up Farringdon Road, you’ve noticed the sign directing you to The Bowler a few meters away, and yet haven’t gone inside. This is a mistake.

The Venue
The Bowler is located just off Farringdon Road, on Bowling Green Lane. There is plenty of seating - both indoors and out - including comfy couches and a fireplace where you can sit and relax. There is also more than enough room for large groups, as well as smaller tables and stools for a more intimate conversation. The decor is chic and modern with lamps and candles that make the rooms feel warm and inviting. There are also heaps of books and magazines at your disposal as well as free wi-fi, which makes The Bowler an easy place to spend a lazy afternoon.

The Atmosphere
The Bowler caters to a clientele that is a bit more sophisticated than what you might find at your average pub. It gets the busiest after work hours when it’s filled with yuppies (young, urban, professionals) chatting over drinks and appetizers. The laid back ambience makes The Bowler the perfect destination to cozy up in with a date (especially on the couch near the fireplace) over a glass of wine or two.

The Food
There is a decent choice of pub food on the menu, including starters and sides that start at £3 and entrees at an average price of £8. Although the menu consists of your standard pub dishes, the quality is a little higher than most. There are also a few choices for dessert if you want something sweet. Food is served Monday through Friday, lunch and dinner.

The Drink
On tap, you’ll find your basic beers at The Bowler, including Fosters, Stella and Guinness. Best of all, there is a large and well-selected list of wines, including a few dessert wines and champagne by the bottle.

The Last Word
Being at the modern, yet cozy Bowler makes you feel a little less like being at a pub and little more like being at your mates house - your mate with good taste.
