We're all about big burgers, dirty fries, Milkshakes and cocktails that look as good as they taste.

As you enter down the stairs into our crib, you'll be met with a punk and rock-inspired aesthetic (Good old 90's style dive bar). We don't take ourselves too seriously here at Boozy Cow, and our team is on hand to make sure you have a great time.

    My girlfriend and I frequented this establishment recently and my initial impression was really positive. The place had a nice ambiance, so off to a promising start. After a quick glance at the menu I decided to order a hot dog which didn’t come with chips so had to order them separately, and on it’s arrival I was speechless… This anemic thing was presented to me which looked like it had been cooked using the torch on an IPhone…The hot dog bun was rock hard just to add to the culinary experience. I politely passed on my thoughts about the hot dog looking undercooked and the meat not being browned at all… My rude, obnoxious waitress argued that I was wrong and all hot dogs are meant to look white! (This thing was whiter than Elon Musk!) I then had to approach the manager who agreed with me and offered to waive the bill as it was inedible. The first picture is how it looks on the website for this place and the second is what I was served 🤔

    The venue was cold. The staff was inexperienced. The burger was too well done, no flavour. The loaded fries were very good. Will never visit that place again! Not recommended

    Enjoyed this bar/restaurant. Caters to meat eaters and vegetarians alike as well as drinkers and non drinkers. I ordered a Hibiscus Sour and a strawberry milkshake. Both were delicious and light, no intense sweetness like it is at home in NYC. Even the water was comparable to NYC. My main meal was The Italian Job minus the ham and loaded cheese fries. PLEASE BE ADVISED FRIES are sold separately. Which is understandable because some bar patrons just want fries after a few drinks. The waitress was prompt and attentive. I appreciate that.

    Good morning Shaneel, Happy New Year, Many thanks for the great review you have given us, we greatly appreciate the comments regarding our food, drinks and service. I'll be sure to pass them on to the team. Have a great New Years Day.

    The burger were alright. Drinks were good. Service was slow and inconsistent. Ambiance was noisy in a bad way and tables were so tightly packed.

    Save your money and do not waste your time eating here. Worst burger I’ve ever had, even something simple as fries tasted bad.

    Great place to go with friends. Not a great place to go with children, no children’s menu. Service was slow and we really wanted to try a deep fried mars bar as we were on holiday in Scotland but then got told we had to leave as our table was needed in 15minutes although there was 4 free tables around us. Didn’t feel very welcomed as we had our children with us who were all well behaved but not the usual restaurants experience we are used to as a family.
