Quick info
About The Painters Arms
The Painters Arms is a pub in Cowes at 51 Cross St, run by its landladies. No food is sold on site, but customers can bring in chips from a local chippy, so a meal can go alongside a drink without a kitchen behind the bar. Games and sport are shown on the TV, and the pub will check that a particular game will be on. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring them along when they visit.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers mostly describe a friendly, welcoming local pub, with a nice selection of drinks and cheap beer as the core draw. Lots of seating and a beer garden come up, and the landladies get praise. One visitor called ahead and the pub made sure their game was on. Another was allowed to bring in chips from the local chippy.
