A group of us have been coming here for many years. We tend to go in warmer months as it is great for sitting outside and enjoying the world going by. The cocktails are good, beer is lovely, but we would avoid the bottles of bubbles. Just not good quality or worth the price for them. The staff are always friendly and security are great. There are many things to keep you interested when they put on special nights like bingo. Give it a visit in summer!

Genuinely lovely staff, nice and relaxed atmosphere, nice cocktails, good prices (especially the happy hour ones), basically one of my favourite bars here. There is no shouting or pushing either. And the best it's only 5 min from home :-)

As someone who often enjoys going out solo, walking into a new place can sometimes feel a little daunting — but not at The Bridge, and definitely not with EJ behind the bar. From the moment I entered, EJ made me feel completely at home. There’s something so genuine about his energy — warm, charismatic, and effortlessly attentive. It wasn’t just service; it was connection. He took the time to ask what I liked, offered thoughtful recommendations, and then delivered a cocktail that honestly blew me away. The drinks were a work of art — perfectly balanced, layered with flavour, and crafted with such care and precision. Watching EJ mix is like watching a master at work. He’s not just a bartender; he’s a storyteller, and the cocktails felt like it had a narrative of its own. What could have been an ordinary solo night turned into one of the most memorable experience I’ve had in a long time — all thanks to EJ’s artistry, warmth, and skill. If you’re lucky enough to have him serve you, you’re in for something truly special. Thank you, EJ, for making me feel not just welcome, but celebrated. You’ve made The Bridge feel like a place I’ll keep coming back to. 🍸✨
