Set in a prime location within the Lake District, in the bustling tourist town of Bowness-on-Windermere, we are both a cosy indoor bar and an outdoor garden bar set over 2 terraces overlooking Lake Windermere. An ideal place for families, couples, big groups and your furry friends, we serve teas, coffees, craft ales, cocktails, specialist spirits and all your usual tipples as well as a feast of food, from a Full Cumbrian Breakfast ‘Farm to Fork’, and Fish & Chips, to a Giant Blooming Onion, pizzas, loaded fries, local ice cream and a classic Sticky Toffee pudding – all with the option to takeaway as well as eat in.
It's the kind of place you go to when you want to escape from the chill in the winter months in our cosy inn, or and bask in the sun on our large outdoor terraces in the summer months, with some of the best views in the Lake District whatever the weather. We don't take table bookings, so there's no need to book—just come along! We offer a wide range of drinks available, including lager, craft ales, wine, bubbles & fizz, specialty gins, soft & hot drinks.
The Garden Bar at is home to the best live music with a view in the Lake District. Hosting live music every Friday evening (and sometimes Saturday’s in the summer) - It’s the perfect place to sit back, relax and unwind over live music whilst the sun goes down. We’ve hosted everything from Irish folk bands, acoustic solo artists, to house DJs & sax players. So whatever your music taste, we have something for everyone.

The restaurant is authentic and has a nice decoration. The burgers are very tasty. Dogs 🐕 are allowed. The toilets are very clean.
Visited the lake District and hit this place up for an evening meal. There is no direct parking, however there is free parking a short walk away. There is a downstairs cocktail bar and upstairs for bar and eating. The staff were friendly and polite and the place itself was nice and clean. I went for the double bacon burger which came with skin on fries. The fries were cooked with a nice crunch and the burger was cooked and seasoned to perfection. No complaints here. Please keep up the good work!! Would recommend and return.
Went here for a birthday drink and had an absolutely brilliant time. Live music, mad dancing by everyone when the Pogues Christmas song was on, great staff who were knowledgeable. Didn’t eat but have in the past. Modern exterior with a more rustic indoors and a lovely wood burner. Been going her for a while now and it gets better every visit.
Lovely surroundings. We sat outside as it was gorgeous. Good live music. Great views. Didn't eat there do can't comment.
What a spot! Called in at Windermere on our way back from Edinburgh and got a spot on the balcony at this fabulous venue. Brilliantly furnished and quirky look to the interior but the balcony and outside area doesn't need anything more than a table and chair because that view is enough! They had a singer on which was a great start to the long bank holiday weekend. We decided to try the food and ordered the veggie pizza, what can I say it literally was the best pizza to date! Loads of veggies and oozing with cheese! Luckily the sun popped out long enough to keep us warm too. If you're in the area give this cool place a visit.
