Great pub. Cracking bar staff. Warm, friendly, hospitable. Great range of beer on bar. Very helpful arranging taxi into Leicester afterwards. Very helpful.

The old owners were class and provided a great atmosphere. However, now it’s being run differently and they don’t play music in the pub which dims the atmosphere. Was a great pub though ??

Went for some drinks here after the football; very friendly and helpful service by Rebecca. Didn't have food but the cocktails were really tasty. Would recommend!

Brilliant pub. Really friendly staff, good tasty food. The chef, Shakill ( I think was his name!) went above and beyond to deliver a veggie meal for my husband. Simple food but cooked to perfection. Outstanding, we will definitely be back xx

On entering the pub we were warmly welcomed by staff. We ordered drinks and found the environment comfortable and clean. The atmosphere was good, football was on the screen's with a friendly crowd there. Toilets were fresh and clean. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

I’ve traveled for a football away day, Bristol city vs Leicester, because it was very last minute on my behalf I couldn’t get a ticket for the game, so I decided to stay here while the game goes on, the staff have been absolutely brilliant very welcoming and great company, beers very good and well price on top of that they’ve got multiple screens for the sports and also do some luvely food, can’t find a single fault. 100% recommend!

This was a good place to visit with friends and their dog who I had missed seeing for such along time, so it was lovely catching up and ordering my food while waiting for other friends to arrive and meet up with us.The food I ordered was delicious along with my drink and good value for money too, the service was also very good and the atmosphere was great too.
Popped in after the rugby. Good atmosphere, very friendly staff. Ideal for match days. Nice pint.

I didn’t want to expose The Bowling Green, Leicester for what it was but after months of a band not being paid for their work I’ve been left with no other choice. This is by far the WORST experience I’ve had with any venue in all of my career.The first gig was me & Benn. They didn’t have enough cash to pay us at the end of the night so we just squared it off and allowed them to pay us what they could out of goodwill. There had only been about 3 people in the pub after all.This should have been a massive RED FLAG but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.Fast forward to the second band that played for them through Gig Base. As expected, the band arrived and carried out a professional gig.I have been through HELL with this venue trying to collect the bands payment. The communication has been next to none. The area manager has conveniently ‘broken their phone’ and nobody is contactable.On the occasions I have had contact I’ve been given countless empty promises of payment being made but still to no avail.I have visited the pub and tried to speak to staff regarding this, trying to find answers. Only for them to express their shared frustration as they are currently WORKING FOR FREE and chasing their wages also. Disgusting.It has now been nearly 2 months of no payment.The pub is a Stonegate Pub Partners leased pub (nothing Stonegate can do because its leased, although I’m sure they’d be interested to know that the only way they can afford the rent is by stealing the staffs/bands wages). The affiliated company who is running it is called C&A BARS LTD and the operation manager/director is a MR CHRISTOPHER LYONS. The area manager I have been trying to correspond with is called FRASER.It has also come to my attention that they are ILLEGALLY playing music in the bar, having live music, karaoke etc without a valid PRS for Music licence. For those that don’t know, any establishment open to the public who plays music must legally hold one of these. It’s no surprise that The Bowling Green doesn’t as they are clearly above the law and don’t have to pay any dues!Most of the musicians I work with gig for a living. This is how we pay our bills and get by. Times are tough as it is, and then you get venues likeTHE BOWLING GREEN who think it’s ok to not pay their musicians or their bar staff. It’s not acceptable.I guess the point of this post is to AVOID THIS VENUE. If you are a musician, pub goer, lover of live music then avoid this venue like the plague.Students of University of Leicester and people of Leicester, don’t spend your money here, it’s going into the pockets of thieves who don’t care about their customers or staff.Here’s hoping the band who did an amazing professional job will eventually get paid what they are owed.C&A PUBS SHOULD BE ASHAMED!
