I don't think we saw the best of Bow Bar, which is a shame, as I had been looking forward to visiting for ages. It was a relatively steady night, not busy by a long shot, but bar one table when we entered, all other seats were taken. The barman was busy doing a crossword in the corner. We waited for him to look up. \n\nAnd waited. \n\nAnd waited. \n\nAt the point of 'bugger it, we'll go home, not worth waiting anymore', he looked up and came over to serve us. We got our drinks, sat down and drank them, then left. The barman went back to his crossword, another guy appeared and then seemed to be the only one working, while the other guy remained focused on his crossword. \n\nWhile I am cool with the low key vibe of a pub, I still like being served, and when it isn't busy, don't expect to be forming a queue of one at a bar. Unlikely I'll be back, not a particularly positive experience this time around.
