My previous post her set out an intent to try revisit some pubs that I'd last been to over 18 years ago; or least where the last time I can remember was that long ago.
In the case of Bowes, I cannot recall being in here since meeting someone to watch a football match in 2005. I wrote the RetroReview in 2020 when there was planning being attempted to merge the pub through the former Irish Yeast Company building behind; and thankfully this plan seems to be dead.
As you'd expect with a pub with a Victorian interior, very little has changed in the 20 years since my last visit. The TVs are newer, and there's various craft beers on the taps and in the fridges; and a lot of the smaller distilleries they have whiskey from didn't exist in 2005 - but the fundamentals are still the same.
This is a nice pub in a very central location. I'm not sure why I wasn't in here in the past 20 years; but I'll try make sure I get back in before 2045.
