Boaters Bar Bowness

A relaxed bar by the Bowness waterfront serving drinks and casual food, with outdoor seating and regular live music close to the boats.

Boaters Bar occupies one of Bowness’s strongest casual-drinking locations, close to the water at The Glebe and Windermere Quays. The setting suits a relaxed pint or cocktail after a lake cruise, while the food offer typically includes easy-going dishes such as pizzas and loaded sharing food rather than formal dining.Live music and events are a regular part of the venue, and outdoor seating adds to the appeal in good weather. The atmosphere can therefore change from a laid-back daytime stop to a much livelier evening. Check current social or website information if entertainment is important to your visit, particularly outside the main summer season.

The Cumbria Guru verdict

Our local note

One of the better places in Bowness for combining a drink with the waterfront atmosphere, especially when live music is on.
