Highly recommend!! Fantastic cocktails in a warm atmosphere. Louis is a kind soul and has a very sweet dog named Luna. We enjoyed petting Luna, drinking warm ciders, and appreciating the art and plants around.

Such a cool little escape from life for a while. Art filled, good music, skylight, cocktails and more. Start your evening at Bow Market at Create and then never leave or explore the rest of the market on your way out.

Lovely courtyard enclosure by quality food outlets. Great for having a conversation with a friend over a bite to eat.

I wanted to like this place. In fact, I loved the Black art work on the wall by the gallery. Our first server was great! He got us good drinks, created a place for us to sit, and we even chatted about Biden winning the election today. The second server that came over at closing time yelling at us though... not acceptable. He wanted us gone, although our first server said we could stay. You guys need to get on one accord, and despite being tense about having the upper level of Bow Market clear by 10, which we absolutely would have done, your guy was aggressive and basically yelled at us... ahead of the 10 cut off. I was completely done drinking and just waiting for my friend. I’m writing this because it took a lot for me to not yell right back at him and cause a scene. And it felt it about to happen, so I sat silently... and for me, that’s growth! I get it. Closing time. Anxiety about a fine. Etc. We were in fact moving along until the first server said we could stay. And we saw other people near us. Again, I said all that to say... Stop yelling at people! Ok you’re tense, but we are just as tense too, and just looking to blow of a bit of steam in the middle of a dang pandemic. Geez.

A super cozy, unique space with wonderful local art and delicious draft (!) cocktails! Yes, they pour cocktails for you out of a tap. The wood, candles, and pillows are so luxurious, and the old skylight casts such a soft romantic glow, you'll feel like you're inside a super VIP ski lodge with 34 of your bestest friends. My favorite drink so far is the "Down n' Brown", which you can sometimes (in the days of Covid, not sure about normally) buy in a large frosty glass bottle to share with friends. It is very strong and not sweet, perfect for pouring over ice on a hot day. Yum.

A very cute (but small) lounge tucked away on the second floor of Bow Street Market. I love the decor and comfortable vibe! The drinks are inspired by local bartenders and each have their unique flare. I stopped by with three friends on a weekend and thankfully there was room for us to sit. My guess is that the lounge probably gets quite crowded at other times. Take a look at the artwork and check out the lovely ceiling too! This is a cozy contrast to the brewery and wine bar downstairs.

Outstanding cocktails — creative, herb and spirit forward, not too sweet. Don’t think about it just show up for a great drink and the art will kickstart some conversation. 5/5!

Had an amazing mulled wine. Super chic place with cocktails on tap! Yes, on tap!

“Intimate” barely begins to describe it. The place is the size of an apartment living room. Optimal for tastings and parties of 12 or fewer.

What an incredible surprise! Bow market is such a great concept. On its 2nd level there is this really beautiful, fantastic craft cocktail / art gallery Create. It's almost like an enchanted treehouse clubhouse!!! drinks and art inside of a sexy fun atmosphere! Truly brilliant and the sips were excellent!!! Definitely going back

Love everything about this place!

Cute place and awesome cocktails! Definitely would recommend to a friend. Cozy little place, not tons of seating but perfect little escape from the normal bar scene.

Chris M.

This place is pretentious, cramped, and the drinks were disgusting. They tasted medicinal. Avoid!
