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.
Overall, Bowie is described as a stylish, intimate spot with a speakeasy vibe, standout decor and music, and a warm, attentive staff that makes guests feel welcome. The drinks and food are frequently praised, with several standout cocktails and dishes noted, though a few reviews point to high prices and occasional mismatches in service or timing. Many visits highlight memorable atmospheres and good moments with friends, while some experiences mention slower or uneven service, long waits, and the occasional misstep like over salted dishes or a billing hiccup. The dress code, photo policy, and entry dynamics are cited by some as part of the vibe, for better or worse, but the overall tone emphasizes Bowie as a place with strong potential for a fun night out and repeat visits.
This place is absolutely beautiful. I went here with some friends on a Thursday night in April. The music was great, ambience perfect & the food delicious.

Loved the vibe & the music was really good. Nouha was our waitress & it was my friend's birthday, she brought her a tiramisu with sparklers & we didn't even have to ask. She's truly the best, can't wait to go back !
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.

Very nice place! Weird rule about pictures (not allowed) feels like a hidden place with a mix of different crowds. Drinks are good, so is the music. Beautiful interior look. Little well kept secret. I recommend!
Went to Bowie with my friends after a lovely dinner at Dorsia. They offer a big variety of drinks including some of their signature cocktails. The music wasn't too loud & complemented a general classy vibe of the place. The prices are more than fair & their staff is always ready to assist you with any special requests you may have.

Went there a few weeks ago. Limited menu. Good music. Valet service $20! - plus they don't bring the car to you right at Bowie exit when you're ready to leave. You have to go up to Notre dame to Dorsia to hopefully find the valet guys!
