        Most important: the food tasted great! Good atmosphere and nice menu. There was live music when I was there which was a nice touch during my dinner.

        Best lunch in Farmington

        As someone who works in Farmington, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food, great price and speedy service I have been enjoying in the year we've been going to Cowleys. Their tomato bisque is homemade and as good as it gets. All of the sandwiches are tasty. They do have traditional Irish fare but the menu is more American. Carol and her staff make sure every customer gets their order right now. I especially liked the sweet potato fries with a side of cinnamon sauce. Two thumbs up!

        Renovation a few years back completely changed this place. For those that don't know, the renovation was not just a fresh coat of paint and new tables/chairs, they tore the place down and built from the ground up. I agree with the other reviews - prices are a bit high. Service is good, food is very good and the location is excellent. Management is helpful and accommodating (we've had some events there after work and after services at the nearby funeral home). It's a very nice place, much prettier than before, but I miss the old Cowley's! Also, the upstairs area tends to get so loud you cannot hear the person sitting next to you.

        General Info
        Established in 1972 John and Marie Cowley opened a small classic Irish pub in Farmington, Michigan in 1972. This traditional watering hole became a cornerstone in the Farmington community. In early 2002, the second generation of Cowleys stepped in to build upon the foundation that was laid down by John and Marie. The old pub was torn down and a new beautiful two story building was constructed. Fast forward 8 years of giving the Metro Detroit area a consistent dose of Irish hospitality, the third generation of Cowleys have come home to help expand John and Marie's legacy. Brendan Cowley and his wife Amy Cowley are now driving the business into the future. Both are graduates of one of the best culinary schools in the world, The Culinary Institute of America, and are using their training and experience to bring a new vision to John Cowley and Sons. As Brendan has put it, "Our mission, is to provide a pub with a warm and inviting atmosphere that serves high quality, unpretentious food and drink."Established in 1972 John and Marie Cowley opened a small classic Irish pub in Farmington, Michigan in 1972.
