Such a wonderful pub! This pub was my favorite place, when I was a DMU student, 20 years ago. The pub is not called Polar Bear anymore but the spirit of the place is still there. Waiters are very nice. Next time I will be in Leicester I will come back in this pub for sure!

Burger and drink Tuesday, what a burger it was! Absolutely epic. I used to go regularly when I was working at one of the student accomodations near by so it was good to see the manager still there. Back to the food, I ordered cheeseburger with double patty's, (you can have up to 4!!) Added bacon. Having been unimpressed with burgers - I had not eaten a pub burger in about a year, this was one of the best burgers I've eaten in a long long long time. The wings unfortunately were either overcooked or reheated, we ordered two different ones but both had the same overcooked / reheated taste. Won't be ordering them again any time soon. Atmosphere is always fantastic in this place, they have a pool table too! Looking forward to trying new dishes, see you again soon Bowling Green. (Watch this space, for more pics)

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!

Nailed it. Cheap breakfast before noon everyday and the 1.99 coffee and bacon&egg bap is great value for money. Definitely will be returning. The staff there are also very helpful

We always enjoy a visit here, great beers, and friendly staff. Quite a small pub, with an outside seating area. Played quite a few games of Pool here in the past.

The bowling green - cozy and warm place . Nice to hang out with friends . Tasty pies , and friendly staff . Just off the main road , so parking can be a problem . Monday evenings is a good time to try out their range of pies - coz it's cheaper than on other days .

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.
