About This Pub

Ah, The Bridge House – it's one of those pubs that just draws you in with its warm, community feel. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff are absolute gems, always quick with a smile and a pint, making every visit feel like catching up with old friends. The atmosphere is spot on too, whether you're there for a laugh over the footy or just to unwind; that upstairs bar with its efficient table service sounds like a proper highlight. It's no wonder folks like Rhys and Gordon keep coming back, calling it their go-to for a good time. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect – that review from Jase about the table mishap is a bit of a downer, and the limited seating downstairs could leave you scrambling for a spot on a packed night. Still, with most people raving about it and a high rating overall, I'd say it's worth popping in for a try; just keep an eye on the crowd and you'll likely have a cracking evening.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with an incident that occurred during my recent visit to your pub. While enjoying my time at your establishment, I encountered a rather unfortunate situation with the table I was seated at. Upon standing up, the table tipped, causing all four of my freshly poured pints to spill over me. While I appreciate the promptness of your staff in replacing the drinks at my cost, I was surprised by the reaction of the upstairs supervisor who approached me shortly afterward. Instead of addressing the situation with empathy, the supervisor seemed more focused on the mess created by the spill than on ensuring my experience remained enjoyable. I found this response to be quite inconsiderate, especially given that the incident was not caused by any fault of mine but rather an issue with the table. I understand that spills can be a nuisance, but I believe that customer service should prioritize the experience of the patrons. I would have appreciated a more understanding approach rather than creating additional hassle during an already unfortunate situation. I hope you will take this feedback into consideration, as I believe it could enhance the experience for future guests at your pub. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I only go there at night for a few drinks. Staff are very friendly and they serve u fast. Atmosphere is good. I've met a lot o people there. Everyone is very friendly. I live in this city so maybe it helps. A lot of the time you will see the same friendly faces. Which for me is good. Never ate there so don't know. But for a drink is 8/10 prices could be lower. But I think everywhere is getting expensive.
