Can understand some people gripes with the service. But it’s a bar with a great atmosphere and a perfect place for a drink on any night bring friends or a day. Highly recommend.

Discovered a true hidden gem where the entrance belies the beautiful mid-century interior, complete with lit tables and mirrored ceilings. They have cozy booth seating. 10 or so tables inside. Overall Bowie did a great job creating an intimate vibe. Staff were outstanding, adding a personal charm to the top-notch service. The menu offers unique snacks perfect for sharing, complemented by an impressive cocktail selection. A highlight was the bespoke off-menu drink, a testament to their creativity. A must-visit for a memorable evening with great vibes and exceptional service.

once you find this place, you won’t be disappointed (through an alley and in the basement). amazing decor and atmosphere! the mac and cheese was to die for! the wine menu is sweet and simple and there are a lot of classic cocktails. the margarita left something to be desired, but every other cocktail/martini was amazing. definitely on the pricier side but a great little bar that i highly recommend!

First time ever writing a Google review because I’m that upset. The service here was absolutely terrible and left a horrible impression. When we first arrived, I still had a small cup of ice cream. The server told us outside food wasn’t allowed — fine, I respected that and went to the dark corner of their waiting area to finish it. But not even a minute later, she came back and told us we had to leave the place entirely to finish it outside. The tone was rude and unwelcoming — not how any guest should be treated. After we finished eating and came back in, we ordered two drinks and were finally settling into our night. Then midway through our conversation, the same server interrupted us and told us we had to move to the bar area to make space for a large party. I get that restaurants need to manage space, but why couldn’t the large group sit near the bar instead? Why should we be disrupted when we were already seated and actively drinking? When I politely questioned this, she became defensive and said, “I told you already that the table can’t be held when there’s a large party size.” That “warning” was made before we even entered the bar, when I was told to go outside to eat. To top it off, after we declined to move, she rolled her eyes at us. Completely unprofessional and disrespectful. I’ve never experienced such a lack of basic courtesy from a server. It honestly felt like we were being singled out or assumed to be pushovers — and that does not sit right with me. I won’t be returning, and I hope management takes a serious look at how their staff treat paying customers.

On a night out with friends, we were looking for a place to grab some drinks and found Bowie on Google maps. It ended up being one of the highlights of our night! We were a bit confused trying to find the entrance as it's located down an alley at the back of the building and down to the basement level with no signage other than a neon side in the alley. But once you get through the door the interior is beautiful! We were lucky to get a table for 5 even as a walk-in on a Friday night, but we were given a 2 hour seating limit and the bar got busier as the night went on. There was also a DJ in the corner playing tunes throughout the night. What we ordered: - Espresso Martini - Paloma - Lychee Martini Final Thoughts: A hidden gem with great vibes, nice servers, and strong drinks. My friends and I will definitely be back again!

We used to love coming here when it was a chill spot. Seems like as of late they have implemented various changes including an arrogant bouncer and "reservation only" admission, which was never the case several years prior. Environment is way more stiff and pretentious now imo.

If i could give 0 stars, I would. They open at 6pm and we showed up at 5:58, we said no problem we will wait till 6pm (2mins) the gentleman told us we have to wait out side in 30 degrees Celsius even when they are opening in 1 minute now. horrible customer service… ended up leaving and going to a bar across the street where we felt more welcomed.

New speakeasy found on Ossington and what a pleasant new addition! Loved their classics and their martini are a must try if you are into those. Some snacks are quite unique and special which you can’t quite find in other places.

More of a 3.5 star but bump because service was so nice. Located down a side alleyway, decided to visit because I heard nice feedback from people who have been previously. Our server was fairly new but attentive. He tried so hard to make sure our experience was good, which we appreciated. We came from dinner so just tried the following: 1) Pisco Sour $18 - I like this drink! Recommend! 2) Tiramisu - It was more of a pudding texture, did not really liked it. The salt topping was too overpowering. The interior stands out. I like the glass ceilings and cute wall art. I suggest not going around opening because it was pretty quiet. Music was barely audible, wish it was louder. Better vibe closer to 7:30-8 pm. Overall good for dates and friends but just be mindful it is not accessibility friendly. There are steep steps going to the entrance and washrooms are narrow.

Came on a Friday night; it was standing-room only and so packed and loud! Tried highballs and cosmos, and both were fine. The bartenders looked a little overwhelmed and the washrooms were a bit of a situation. I think they needed to limit the number of people; it seemed like a fire hazard.

Bowie has really cool speakeasy vibes, hidden away under a laundromat. It can be hard to find! The inside is a little tight but they have some nice booths. Drinks were solid. This was a great place for a pit stop on your night out, or a cute date spot.

This hidden speakeasy was such a cute place to grab some drinks. I told my boyfriend to check if we were in the right place because I couldn't imagine there being a bar in that area so it really embodied the hidden speakeasy theme. We were seated right away and the bartender was great. It's a cozy spot with some delicious drinks. We had the lychee martini and coco kiss which were both delicious. The coconut rim on the coco kiss was incredible! Will definitely be going back.
