5 star service for the wonder Brendan & Donnchadh who looked after our large group last night. An amazing pub with great atmosphere and music, and most importantly an amazing team. Thanks from all at JMJ

On Friday night live music far too loud - I am sure this is driving away customers, impossible to have a conversation in the bar.

The bridge bar don't do food so I scored 5 for that. We will not be going back here as the security on the door are highly rude. My daughter (23) and her partner (22) said they didn't want to go with us here for one drink because the security at the door were very rude. We told them that being with us would mean there wouldn't be an issue, there was. The main guy on door stated using his torch to look in my daughters face to check her ID and then give off to her boyfriend about not having his ID with him. My wife asked him about the way he was talking to the two of them and his words were 'in not talking to you, just go in'. We spoke to the owner, but I don't know if he will deal with the security issue as he is losing out on custom, creating a poor reflection of the bar and creating the feeling of negativity to younger (and I mean over 21s) people going out in Newry. It was not our first experience with this guy but I will be going to other near by premises when I'm going out in Newry from now on.

1 absolute cheeky and rude bar man , thinks he was being smart in front of ppl. Such a rude person. Obviously hasn't got the personality to do the job ,either that or he was trying to be a big person in front of his friends .

Have visited this Bar on several occasions .The Bar staff seem very stressed , understaffed and on more than one occasion can be aggressive . Drinks are of mediocre quality at an upper tier price range and I did not see any menus or food being served . It is not a venue enthusiastic about music or sports .The toilets are relatively clean however a lot of water on floor and no signage which is a possible safety hazard . The Beer Garden at the rear of the building has a separate bar which is hardly ever staffed .Was waiting to be served and the Barman ( Manager ) was outside looking at his phone and left bar unattended . He returned and seemed annoyed he had to serve customers . I left and was on a video call with a friend . I was 10 yards away from the bar on the footpath and the Bar Manager came from behind and snatched my phone from me and would not return it and was very physically aggressive. I was shocked at this unprofessional behaviour . The Bar Manager apologised for his actions when questioned by the Police . The Bar probably could be good but at present I think it has a paranoid personality and I wouldnโ€™t view it as somewhere which will still be open in the long term . At the moment it just seems to be a signpost for tourists to go to their Sister Bar/Hotel , The Whistledown . Wouldnโ€™t return as just not that great a place .

Not enough bar people on to handle the number of people at the bar. Bar staff don't seem to follow any kind of order when serving people also, seems if you're mates with the staff you get served first even when there are other people ahead of you. Mens toilets were filthy in fact at one stage some girls came into the boys toilet asking for toilet paper because they had none in theirs. Music was all right, atmosphere was nice

Not usually one for leaving reviews but I feel I really need to on this occasion. The food here tonight was shockingly bad. Salt & chilli chicken was hard, with a huge concoction of chilli flakes sprinkled over the top that would bring a tear to your eye, literally no curry sauce and rice that had probably been prepared last week. I hate being biased but I think people should be aware of the quality of food here. Portion sizes are fine and the staff are quite polite but the food is dreadful. Mabye we choose this take-away on the wrong night but unfortunately I wonโ€™t be returning anytime soon. The highlight of my meal here had to of been the mineral sadly ๐Ÿ‘Ž

We enjoyed our meal here with the exception of one of the starters, was supposed to be spicy chicken wings which were in fact chicken drumsticks and not very flavoursome. However the curries were very good and lovely naan breads. Would go back for the mains, starters not so good.
