A table by the towpath,
a fire in the room.

Supper where the piano carries past the last course: a long table, the towpath at the door, and the Delaware just beyond.

The Tavern
On River Road since 1837

A roadside tavern, a river through the trees.

Bowman's sits between River Road and the canal towpath, walkers and cyclists passing all day — a dining room, a piano bar, and a terrace.

One kitchen runs the dining room, the piano bar, and the terrace — unhurried, the kind of supper you stay late for. Come for the line off the kitchen, stay for the keys at the bar.

The river is never far either way. The bar book sits with the piano.

Farm to table

Bringing the best of local.

Farms, dairies, distillers, brewers, bakers, and producers close to the river help shape what lands on the table.
