We first briefly visited the excellent Boaters Bar on our Lakes holiday, this year we got to make a proper night of it and my fiancé and I were incredibly impressed with this wonderful establishment.
We had several of their signature cocktails, all of them were excellent, mixed to perfection by the very friendly bar staff, Sebastian and Jake were particularly good. I was incredibly impressed that my Old Fashioned was smoked and I even got a choice of wood chips, top notch drinks.
The atmosphere was really nice and it’s a very stylish bar with a large outdoor area with stunning views of Lake Windermere. They even have a really cool game where you have to try and swing a hook and attempt to get it to land on a hook on the wall, very difficult and highly addictive especially after a few drinks. We also had a great game of pool.
This is a great bar and we will most definitely be visiting again next year, highly recommended.
Great location with an outdoor terrace at the back with views across the marina and the lake. The pizza was good. Staff were very friendly and polite. They refilled our water bottles too which made us happy. Keep up the good work!
Great atmosphere to have a drink or some food. I highly recommend the outdoor area at the very back of the bar. Its lovely to sit by the lake and relax.

Called in just after opening as we were in need of coffee, choice helped by them being dog friendly. Place was almost empty, however that was not a problem, coffee was excellent, however not much cake left to order so went with a garlic bread with cheese as a quick snack to share. Coffee was almost finished when the garlic bread arrived, did begin to wonder where it was, as did the lady who served us who went looking for it at the same time as we started to question where the food was. It was worth the wait, very enjoyable and the left overs went well with our tea later in that day. Would highly recommend the voters bar and will return for an alcoholic beverage someday. Knocked a star off for the wait but would not hesitate to return
Fantastic location overlooking the lake. Inside is great as well. But the really special thing about it is the huge craft beer selection they got there. Food wise they got only pizzas, but fortunately it's a very good oven baked pizza, which we enjoyed.
Would come back here any day, really enjoyed the place.
Dog friendly pub and restaurant with great views of the lake. Great outside seating for those sunny days. Amazing Chicken Caesar salad!
BisialPL Lets see Howe good it is !?

So amazing place with warm welcome, great choices of beers, wine , cocktails and one of the best pizza ever I have "Balli bros". If you coming to bowness, you need to pop in and check this bar including out side siting with great view on lake.
Very nice bar at the lakeside with views of Lake Windemere. Excellent pizza’s!
Love it here! Been twice now. Atmosphere is always good. Child and dog friendly. Nice place to stop for a relax and a drink whilst visiting the lake. Bar service is excellent and quick.
Freshly made pizza to eat in or takeaway. Dog friendly. Opposite pay and display car park. Pizza was ok, great size and fresh. A bit floppy and flavour lacking
Really impressed by this place! Drink selection was extensive and very reasonably priced. Location was lovely with great views and parking nearby. Little games area which was fun. The pizza I had was one of the nicest I've ever had!! Staff were nice too and lots of cute dogs.
Usually very good on the weekend, lively especially when there’s good entertainment on, however food usually quite a wait no matter whether the bar is empty or full. Drinks are reasonably priced for the area however they charge us something different every round even when we order the same drinks? Still a lovely bar but depends on the day really cx
I don't usually eat pizza but had no choice as that's mostly what they offer, have to say it was so tasty I throughly enjoyed it. So did all 6 of us.
Seb was great, pulled pork nachos were so amazing. Fab staff, fab environment, fab everything.
Boaters bar was recommended to us by our lovely Airbnb host as one of the places for the best vibes and reasonably priced food in the area.
She was absolutely right!
The place is nice and clean, really nice decor and the staff are welcoming and helpful. The waitress even let me sample one of the local ciders before ordering (as I'm not a fan of dry, and this was medium/dry), it was a nice cider so I ordered one to accompany the pizzas that we chose - both ordering the salami and chorizo. I've tried a lot of different pizzas to seek out the best ones, and this pizza is definitely up there vying for the top spot imho.
The crust, generous toppings and level of cheesiness was the perfect balance.
I only wish we lived closer, so that we could visit more often. Thanks Boaters, for a lovely dining experience and service! 🍕👌
One of the best beer gardens in bowness due to the view over the lake and the sun trap.
That alone is worth 5 stars.
Never eaten there but know they just do pizzas (and offer gluten free which is a positive).
The staff are all quite young kids but do their best.
Just had drinks here. Great selection of drinks within a relaxed atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful and deserve a special mention for retrieving and storing some lost property for us, thank you.
Amazing venue with a really nice vibe. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. There is a wide range of drinks available from craft ales to cocktails. Food is available but we had already eaten. Might have to come back to eat.
