Riverain Bowls Club Ltd

You wouldn't expect much from a bowling green tucked away on Woolgrove Road, but Riverain proves that sports clubs can do hospitality properly. The bar here feels genuinely welcoming whether you've just rolled your final wood or simply fancy a quiet drink away from the town centre crowds. The drinks selection goes beyond the usual club fare, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between proper local and relaxed retreat. Open every day until 9pm (7pm Sundays), it's become a proper neighbourhood spot that happens to have one of Hitchin's best-kept bowling greens attached. The members are friendly, the prices are reasonable, and there's something deeply satisfying about watching a game unfold while nursing a pint.
