Drawing inspiration from members clubs worldwide. Bowie offers guests a curated experience with a thoughtfully crafted cocktail list, an Asian-inspired menu all within an elegant setting for unforgettable evenings.
Bowie is described as stylish and intimate with a chic vibe, a moody atmosphere and a live DJ that sets a lively energy, making it a popular spot for girls nights or celebrations. Service stands out in many reviews for being warm, attentive, and professional, with staff offering thoughtful wine and cocktail recommendations and handling special occasions with care, though consistency varies across visits. The interior and decor get frequent praise, while some guests feel the concept aims for exclusivity and can come across as pretentious or overdone, with policies like a photo and video ban and a dress code that may be unevenly enforced. Cocktails tend to be highlighted as strong or creative, yet a few drinks fall flat or feel overpriced, and some dishes or portions are described as hit or miss. Occasional issues include slow service, missed steps in the service flow, overcharging, and inconsistent pacing that can mar the experience, along with reports of rude or impersonal treatment from staff or a lack of sympathetic handling in tricky moments. Overall Bowie is seen as a much loved destination with standout ambiance, good food and drink, and moments of exceptional service, but the guest experience can be uneven and value is variable depending on the night and the team on shift.
We went for my friend's birthday last night & it was excellent! The decor, the drinks, the food (minus the calamari, it was a little too salty), the atmosphere, the service was 10/10. Our server was communicative & attentive. The staff, server, server assistants, hostess, coat check, bouncer were great! You can tell they work hard & it shows in there service. We made some great memories there last night. I will definitely be back :)
Le décor était très beau avec une ambiance feutrée. Je n'ai pris que des entrées & des verres & de ce que j'ai pu goûter c'était bon. Le point négatif est vraiment l'accueil & le service aux clients, l'hôtesse qui nous a accueilli semblait hautaine. Il n'y avait personne dans le restaurant encore & ce fut long avant qu'elle nous adresse la parole & sans même l'esquisse d'un sourire. Elle nous faisait plus sentir comme si nous étions une nuisance que des clients. J'ai trouvé l'accueil non professionnelle, cependant le service une fois à la table par les serveurs était correct. Peut-être le délai entre les services était moins efficace plus la soirée avançait par contre. Âge 25 ans & plus mais la clientèle semblait plus jeune du coup au moment où j'y étais.

Bowie came across as trying too hard to be a concept restaurant/bar without actually delivering on that concept. The interior & music were genuinely great, & that's where all three stars come from. Unfortunately, the cocktails were a letdown. Diana's drink tasted like canned peach purée spiked with alcohol, no complexity, just peachy booze. The other cocktail was equally flat, basically whisky with a hint of lemon. When paying for cocktails on the pricier side, I expect something interesting or well-crafted, but Bowie didn't meet its own hype. Service was fine, but our server never once asked how we liked our drinks or food. The no photo/video rule also felt oddly out of place. Overall, it seemed like Bowie put all its energy into the decor & music, without delivering on the experience it promises.
On était 3 filles pour un anniversaire. Je n'ai rien à dire sur la décoration, l'endroit est très bien agencé, malgré le fait que la salle manque d'espace. Au début, le service était correct. Cela dit, plus la soirée avançait & plus le service se déteriorait. Nous avons du attendre 15 minutes de plus pour l'une des entrées & à la fin 25 minutes pour le gâteau. De plus, au début de la soirée, la barmaid a accueilli ses amies au bar, ça criait, ça parlait très fort & ça s'embrassait sans retenue. Ce qui a démontré un manque de professionnalisme. Somme toute, pas le meilleur service que j'ai eu…
Everybody is getting expensive so don't complain that their denying need rib tapa is$45. Good Feely. Drinks are great. Decor & crowd deserves city chic dress code

I came here for my sister-in-law's intimate baby shower, & from start to finish, the experience was incredible. When I made the reservation with Chloé in advance & dropped by beforehand to bring some decorations, the staff went above & beyond to accommodate my requests. They truly made the day feel special.
The service was impeccable, & I haven't even started on the food! Everything-from the presentation to the flavors-was absolutely amazing. The decor was stunning, creating the perfect ambiance for our celebration.
Honestly, I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.
J'adore ce lounge à la fois chic & chaleureux. L'atmosphère est parfaite en début de semaine pour une date & le weekend entre amis ! Le décor est impressionant & la musique'live' apporte une belle touche pour l'ambiance. Je reviendrai avec plaisir !
I had an amazing night at Bowie. Everything from the decor to the food & ambiance were impeccable. Zak at the bar was so knowledgeable & prepared me the best cocktails I've had in town !!
