I had lunch with my family to celebrate my birthday this weekend at Bowman's Tavern and it was a great meal. Started with the French Onion Soup (one of my favorites) which was good not great and not bad. I would order it again for sure but it's not exceptional. I had the roast pork sandwich with broccoli rabe and provolone cheese which I really enjoyed. It was on a round roll not the more traditional long roll. The pork was juicy and flavorful and the broccoli rabe had the perfect amount of garlic flavor, all and all it was a very tasty sandwich. My brother had the roast lamb which he really enjoyed, my husband the fish and chips which was a huge portion with 3 pieces of fish and a basket full of fries, chicken salad sandwich, the crab cakes and the salmon salad were some of the other orders. Everyone enjoyed their meals. For dessert the chocolate banana bread pudding was out of this world and the brownie sundae was also delicious. A great meal and very nice atmosphere - live piano player and super friendly staff. They have a nice outdoor seating area and the bar looked like the perfect place to catch up with friends on a Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend Bowman's Tavern and will go back for sure. read more

Went here for lunch today on a recommendation from a friend. The food was amazing!! My friend and I shared the BLT and the lamb sandwich. Both were equally delicious. I can't wait to go back! read more

The Buffalo wings are super tasty- best I have had in quite some time. The burger was also a hit. Good deal price wise and the waitress was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. read more

Found New Hope had no parking for any restaurants on a sunny Thursday afternoon and remembered we had passed this place. Relaxing atmosphere. I hate noisy restaurants and this had a noise reducing ceiling. The bar looked enticing but we chose to sit in the dining room. The selections were ample and a little different. A real plus. The food was very good. I'd come back but the service was slow owing to two staff members had a family member rushed to the hospital and they left to join them. That left one waiter for the whole dining room and he was doing his best to keep up. read more

Been coming here for several years, and never a bad meal. They keep the menu fresh and seasonal. Nice beer selection. The roast pork sandwich is a must. read more

Awesome time on Wednesday 5/1/19. Background music was delightful. My party of 6 sat comfortably in a personal dining space. Jessica, our server, gave us plenty of information about the menu and weekend activities. Thank you Bowman's Tavern!! A great night! read more

Fun place and great food to enjoy an evening out. Went here for dinner before a Christmas show. The atmosphere is inviting. They had a piano player tickling the ivories with some jazz like music and even played the Charlie Brown Christmas song which we enjoyed. The food isn't your typical pub/tavern type food. They offered an array of foods from interesting appetizers like mushroom bruscetta and sweet potatoes soup to dinners including Gourmet burgers or something more substantial to meatloaf or salmon dishes. I highly recommend checking this place out. Would have given 5 stars but our waitress was not very attentive that night (had empty drinks for prolonged periods of time). read more

We have always loved this place-and it has recently changed hands. New menu was great-very fresh and well prepared. But most important is that Megan the waitress/bartender is still there. No matter how good the food is if the service is lacking it is not fun and can ruin the meal and experience. Megan has ALWAYS been upbeat, friendly and engaging. She definately knows the menu and her customers- Good luck new owners and glad you kept your great staff especially Megan. read more

Great atmosphere with even better food. I think I've found my favorite place along the river and I'd absolutely go back! (ps if Jennifer recommends any entrees to you, listen. She didn't steer me wrong for appetizers or my dinner. Amazing!) read more

Atmosphere is pretty good. Food is just ok. Not sure if I'll come back but probably worth a try if you are in the area. 60+ crowd at the bar Fri and Sat nights read more

The dinner was a great disappointment. We had heard great things and read a wonderful write up in a local magazine. Our cocktails and appetizers we're very good. One of our entrees arrived undercooked and raw in the middle. It was sent back to the kitchen and reappeared 15 minutes later -still raw. My wife sent the dish back again. The waitress then came back to ask if we wanted dessert. We hardly wanted dessert after one of us did not get dinner. We were perplexed that the owner did not come over she just handed us our bill and said sorry. We will not be returning. We ended up going to another restaurant so my wife could have dinner. read more

I ordered the grilled romaine salad with ranch dressing. It was no where near a grille and was served with russian dressing. I ordered the pork osso buco, I was told they were out of pork would I like veal. I said yes and to be done medium. I got a veal chop not osso buco and it was over done so, to the point it had no moisture left in the meat. Could barely cut it and was dry, tough and tasteless. My friend ordered NY strip. He said it was incredibly chewy. So sad to ruin expensive cuts of meat. I usually do not rate restaurants but this had to be the worst! On a positive note the pate was wonderful. After hearing how wonderful this restaurant was, we would never go back. Sorry Bowman's Tavern. Get it together. Loved the look of the place. Cozy. read more

This is our go-to dinner place when up visiting family, and it's consistently excellent. Even though we only go once a month or so, staff remember us and are always friendly, from bar and wait staff to valets. The service is always good - you never need to ask for a refill, and they'll bring extra dipping options for appetizers, etc. The wait staff work as a team - Food-wise, I like everything I try here. Their salads are quite good, their seafood is done well, their burgers are great, and their steaks are always cooked and seasoned well. The appetizers are also good - the hummus and the ricotta especially. They're happy to accommodate non-standard requests as well. Reservations are suggested - it fills up fast. But we're always seated quickly when we do have a reservation. And go when they have live music - it's always good, not too loud, and adds to cozy feel. Bowman's will always be on my shortlist for the area. read more

Ok my wife and i ate here Sunday night august 2. It was excellent. Got there about 8:30. They have valets to park your car even though they dont need them because the lot is very small- its a nice touch i guess. The hostess and servers were friendly. We sat in the dining room where this musician was singing. The food- excellent. I had chicken with corn pudding and my wife got the scallops. Chicken was very good quality and cooked perfectly. The corn pudding was like a cornbread stuffing. Very good meal, it had gravy and sour cherries on it. The scallops were perfect on a bed of truffle oiled creamed corn. We got the cheese plate appetizer which was awesome. Try it if you like cheeses. The drinks here are great. Well thought out flavor mixes and made perfectly. The singer was great and super talented to the point that i was like why is this guy playing in a small tavern? His name is Lorenzo Branca- we called later to find out who he was because we want to see him again- he has a website so check him out if you like live singers in a tavern atmosphere. We are already planning on going here again. Their menu is awesome- view it online. Great salads too with all kinds of add ons. Total check for both of us with a few drinks was $78. Pretty nice time out in Bucks county with live music great food and drinks. read more

My wife and I had lunch there on the Wednesday before Memorial Day. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. The food was decent, but I must say the service seemed a bit slow. read more

I've lived in Bucks 40 years and drive past this place a hundred times. Always wondered about it. Tonight, my wife and I went and were immediately hooked. Great atmosphere. Cozy tavern just how you want a tavern just up the river from where Washington crossed the Delaware. Service -- Great! Fast, friendly, helpful, casual. Food -- Great. Meatloaf was really great. Very tasty, and about two pounds. Come hungry! Mashed taters - great. Drinks -- Great. I had the Birch Bourbon -- bourbon and birch beer. Sounds nuts but very good. Really nice little bar. Cool jazz piano,bass,drum trio. Cool location. Cool layout. Good food and drink. read more

What a marvelous place! Best. Wings. Ever. Calamari was amazing. 4-6 PM happy hour with appys only $6. Great Philly cheesesteak as well. Took an order of meatloaf home for future meal. Even the homemade creme brûlée was delicious. Five stars!!! Bill & Dan were excellent barkeeps! read more

Best Sunday brunch in new hope. The pianist is amazing and staff is so friendly. I've never had a bad meal here

This place is great. Very accommodating, they have actually made food not on the menue. Sunday brunch has some standard favorites, but add specials fir different seasons. If the dining room is full check out the bar,same menue . It gets busy since the food is good. read more

Just outside the bustling madness of new Hope this rustic inn serves some of the best food in the area. Everything was well prepared, fresh and hot. From the fried cauliflower to the grilled Rubin everything was exceptional. To top it off our server Chris was attentive , knowledgeable and very pleasant. We may not be in the area much but when we are well be back here. read more

'Twas okay. I got a burger, which I asked for medium rare, and it was overcooked. I did love the music indoors though!

This was a great place my wife and I have been meaning to try. We decided to give it a go and are glad we did. We started with the calamari and the whipped ricotta plate. The calamari was good but the ricotta plate is amazing! A definite must have. My wife ordered the roasted pork sandwich - a great dish. The sharp provolone and broccoli rabe are a great combination. I wasn't sure what to try so I asked our server Jessica (who was perfectly attentive and very personable!) her recommendation and she said without question the pan roasted Scottish salmon. What a home run! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the romanesco sauce is amazing! Best salmon I've ever had. The icing on the cake was the desserts. We tried the brownie and the rice pudding, both delicious! Can't wait to go back! read more

In the spring we enjoyed a great lunch Bowman's. Two months ago we had poor food and service at dinner, I asked for medium raw salmon it arrived well done; my husband ordered Veal Parm and it arrived as chicken Parm. We commented to the owner who apologized and gave us a $25 gift certificate. We were hesitant to return however we did tonight; the same waitress (Jennifer), the appetizer of mussels was very good but the meals arrived late and cold! We have both decided we are not going back. read more

If you are visiting New Hope, PA, Bowman's is a little bit out of the way but definitely worth the 10 minute drive. We started our dinner with a couple of Dark and Stormys. Perfect. Our entrees were out very quickly. That's probably good for May people, but I like a little slower pace when experiencing a fine meal. I had the salmon. It was cooked perfectly and the accompanying good matched exquisitely. My guest's meal was also right on. We shared dessert...creme brûlée. It was a disappointment compared to the entrée... Fair at best. Overall the service was fantastic. The entrées were outrageous. the ambience was just right. Oh and the price for this food was more than fair. One strange thing about Bowmans was for parking. They had valet parking and we noticed that all the high-end cars were parked right next to the front of the building. It looked like a European sports car dealer! read more

Fantastic atmosphere, service & food. Just pulled into New Hope on a Thursday night at 7 pm, by 8:30 decided on Bowmans for dinner. Drove up some dark, deserted roads and was nervous at what I would find when I got here, but when I arrived I was shocked to see plenty of cars, people, a jazz trio was playing excellent jazz and it was just a great vibe. I really enjoyed this place read more

Everything is great here. Literally, not an exaggeration. The Caesar salad with salmon was decadent. Tender salmon and rich, creamy dressing. The meatballs and marinara were killer. I can also recommend the fried oysters, crabcakes, and the rueben. Bill, the server we had, is super friendly and attentive. Whenever my Arnold Palmer got low he was right there with a fresh one to top me off. read more

This was our first time there. Great appetizers. Unique selections. I couldn't resist trying the burger. I was glad I did. Great burger....Very fresh with great grilled taste. Perfect bun. Fries and onion rings were very good. The ladies didn't want to eat so heavy so they ordered a few appetizers and loved every one. ( fried cauliflower, whipped ricotta and one or two more that I can't remember). Great service. knowledgeable & friendly waitress. even a live piano player ! read more

Friendly staff, friendly patrons, good food, good music, what more could you ask for.

Terrible food & service. Not sure what happened as this was a go to favorite for years as they were consistently great. It has sadly gone downhill fast. read more

Found during a fall foliage drive, so pretty in this area. Very pleasant place, we sat outside on the deck with other patrons and their dogs. The food was delicious, a bit pricy . read more

Last night, my boyfriend and I met a group of friends for dinner and drinks. We have been to Bowman's Tavern many times in the past five years without complaint, that is until last night. The food was decent, and the drinks were standard. However, everyone was really looking forward to the coconut cake for which Bowman's Tavern is highly known. The waitress informed us the restaurant decided to discontinue the cake. I hate to say it, but this revelation was disappointing, made worse by the choices of dessert currently on the menu; none of the selections met the quality or tastiness of the coconut cake! Finally, the valet parking attendants were nice enough, however when I sat in my car to drive home after the car was brought around the front, there were muddy footprints on the floor mat. In all, if you are looking for a decent night out, then Bowman's Tavern will meet your expectations. However, for those of us that have been frequenting Bowman's Tavern for years, what made Bowman's Tavern outstanding is now a relic of the past. read more

The hostess was very rude. They don't like to seat you without a reservation. I recommend calling them in the parking lot before you walk in. That's what I did after they turned me away and they said they had seats available. read more

Worst restaurant I've ever eaten at. The food was terrible. I sent my over cooked dish back and the owner/chef came out and yelled at me. My husband ate his meal even though it was dry and overall terrible. The only good thing about our experience was our waitress. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! read more

The food is very good. However, the service needs improvembnet. Went for lunch and waiting +35 minutes for our food to arrive depsite only four other tables being occupied. It seems our waitress (Lisa) was spending more time in the kitchen talking versus waiting on her tables. Oh well... read more

This is one of the topmost restaurants we've been to, in Bucks County. What a fantastic experience!!! Great service, unique decor and wonderful relaxed ambience, mouth watering food in a beautiful location. Me and my wife went there for lunch on our wedding anniversary. One of the great choices I've made in recent time. This will be our go-to place for many years. We had their mushroom bruschetta for appetizer. It was heavenly!!! Made with truffle aioli, goat cheese and the warm garlic bread.. it was incredible... We ordered mushroom carbonara and their house made veggie burger. Me and wife aren't vegetarians, but it just so happened that we went that. We were pleasantly surprised that we made the right choice. The veggie burger is out-of-the-world. We have never tasted a veggie patty this good. Incredibly done, no additives, very filling, perfectly seasoned, all the good things you would expect in your food. The mushroom carbonara was so good. It is light and yet very satisfying. read more

Bowman's Tavern - House made veggie burger - American Near Me - New Hope, Pennsylvania

We don't come here often but we should - and will! We were out shopping and decided to stop on the spur of the moment. What a great decision. Our server was Danielle and she couldn't have been better. Good recommendations, attentive but not too much and charming. My burger wasn't quite cooked enough and she handled it quietly and efficiently My husband had the prime rib and it was great, too. Try the Mushroom Bruschetta - it's amazing. Good live music, fine food and extraordinary service ( ask for Danielle) and plan on having a great experience. read more

Everyone here is super friendly and helpful; from the owners, to the servers, to the guys who parks your car.. Wings were awesome.. Battered cod sandwich was cooked perfectly.. And the potato salad was on point. Happy we stopped here read more

Always reliable and delicious. Great staff from the valet team to the servers. Wonderful seasonal menus and specials.

We have never had a meal here that we didn't love. And we've been here A.L.O.T. There's always a crowd, but we can usually find a seat at the beautiful bar. Salty popcorn served at the bars is the perfect accompaniment to a cocktail before dinner, then choose absolutely anything from the menu - they do French onion soup really well; the burgers are great, salads are fresh, apps delicious. Some people have an issue with the "forced" valet parking, but I love it - so convenient. Our favorite local hang. read more

It has been a while since we dined here because of its reputation. The food is huge and very tasty. the atmosphere OK, and staff is OK. Will be returning but on a week day night. read more
