Steady Eddie Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 5 hours ago, TheTeapot said: Bowler closing throws up the possibility of that entire site being under one owner for redevelopment, it was kind of in the way. It makes sense the Bowler is just about the biggest loser pub in the IOM. It can’t possibly make any money and another quarter of an acre on that huge empty site must be worth a fair few quid now.

They should never have knocked down the entertainment hall that joined onto the Bowler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't do that due to the new licensing laws. Most of these rumours probably accurate. From what I've heard of the 34 places they have only 10 are not for sale. Which 10 I don't know.

There is a tatty photocopied sign on the door telling you wait to be seated. Not sure why anyone would choose a brewery pub for food, although the rumour is they are trying hard at the Colby.

Quite often can't get in at the Station. Very popular. Same as the George in Castletown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The George has a very good new menu I noticed last week. Still has some brewery classics like dried up steak pie. But the rest seemed way off from usual Brewery and the quality is good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
