Stopped by for some food and drinks. Great atmosphere and there was live music! Food review: Ordered a slice of pizza which actually was quite good, mozzarella sticks and garlic knots. I enjoyed the mozzarella sticks but the garlic knots were just ok. Maybe it was the garlic that was a little off? Anyway I still enjoyed it. My friend got the gluten free pizza and he also liked it.

Loved the vibe of this place. Pizza was excellent, the atmosphere was laid back and the draft beer was cold and very fresh! I can’t think of many pizzas where the crust is just as good as the rest of the pizza, but this was one such pizza. In fact I was looking forward to the crust from one slice to the next!

We had a nice visit at Bowstring and sat outside in the turf area. Parking was quite challenging by 5:30 on a Friday; we had to park at the Methodist church about a 5-7 minute walk down the block. They didn’t put a lot full sign out so it quickly became a traffic jam as people cycled through the full lot…

This was my first time at Bowstring. I went for a drink with a friend after work. Sadly, the first beer I wanted was no longer available, and my friend’s was the bottom of the keg as well. I will say that I liked the alternative that the bartender suggested. He was very nice, btw. It was very chill around 5-6 when we got there and the live music was setting up. I finally did get a slice of pizza and it was delicious. I will say that a whole pizza was on the pricey side, which is the only reason I didn’t give it a full 5 stars. Overall, I really liked this place.

Limited menu but what they do, they do well. Good pizza, good wings, and good drinks. All at a good price in a fun inviting atmosphere with friendly folks taking your order and delivering the goods.

The smallest wings I’ve ever seen in my life. Paid $19 and couldn’t eat more than 2, they were not good. Weak whiskey pour for $9. Better options in the area

Carlos was awesome! He was so great at giving reviews of the different beer selection and introduced us to the transfusion drink! He was super helpful. The atmosphere is very inviting and comfortable with multiple options for indoor and outdoor seating !!
