The Bridge Bar in Newry and Mourne

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.

Great night. Especially the Phyllip sisters, lovely singers. 😍

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 .

A grat pub, the Guinness was beautiful, a pure down to earth bar

We had a recent trip to Newry and this bar was amazing. The atmosphere was great the staff were brilliant and we couldn't have been happier with the service. Highly recommend a visit

Bouncers pure knobs, no hello, no thank you, all business no talk, I joked about him making me feel young as I'm 30 and was asked for ID, pure muppet, wont be back.

Great night aided by Don behind the bar 🍸 👍 First Class Service.

Busy vibrant bar, great pints of Carlsberg and service at the bar is quite quick

Great bar staff service first class no complaints

Nice bar, good staff, trad music was enjoyable

Was at an organised engagement party out the back open area, It was a really nice place Beautiful decorations and a great setup for comfort, large gas heaters would keep warm on colder nights The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, bar staff were very friendly and was easy to start and hold a conversation with.

Good food and good service very friendly indeed.

Decent pub. Beer garden is in need of upgrade but good vibes from decent bar.

Nice pub good atmosphere, good beer.

Nice pint of Guinness. Nice crowd. Good staff

Lovely staff and a very cosy atmosphere. Also not as pricey as other bars in Newry. Felt extremely welcome

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 wouldn’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 . Wouldn’t return as just not that great a place .

All craft beers have been removed, they just have Brewdog Punk IPA and other big brewer beers instead

Nice friendly pub with good helpful staff

Great place to stop in for a pint on the way from Belfast to Dublin!

Great bar, nice crowd and good beer

Lovely setting, great staff. Drinks were lovely too. Great for a bit of banter with mates.

Great friendly staff and a savage pint of Guinness,💪💪😁

Class pub, I hope the live music starts again soon.

Great bar. Staff are great especially Gerry who looks after his punters. Great pint of Guinness too.

We went there twice. The first time was good but the second time wasn't. Waiter assisted people that came after us, th. and the cocktails are very decent

Very nice staff polite and friendly interior lovely can't wait to have a meal at the bridge bar restaurant.

Brilliant service and great craic

Excellent experience very nice people

Best pub in newry. Always make a point of going here when home.

Called in late afternoon, very impressive beer garden but instead of playing music through their speakers they had daytime reality tv programme, zero atmosphere so had one pint which was ok and left.

Quality pub , great beer garden and exceptional staff and service

Comfortable and relaxed feel. Good mix of clientele and the staff are very friendly.

Great location & smashing atmosphere. Live music plus DJ out the the back. Three different bars. With loads of seating areas

Great bar man and even better pints

Nice and relaxing. Friendly staff

Friendly cozy bar with great drinks selection busy at times but staff coped brilliantly and service was great.

But quieter than previous visits

Upscale bar with a great upper room. Went Saturday, live music, lots of space and fun corners to sit down

Dropped in tonight and had a few drinks with my siblings and relatives. Excellent atmosphere with two styles of music for the various ages present. Very enjoyable night, good time had by all!

I absolutely love this wee pub. Friendliest staff ever

Live music and a vibrant atmosphere

Great atmosphere and staff. There is a large cocktail menu which we sampled.

Great craic in this bar in Newry warm friendly atmosphere

Surprised how nice this place was. Buzzing too

Great bar, they have brewdog punk ipa on tap but the bar staff will lift your specialist wiskey glasses even if your not finished your sliver of drink, they see a half empty glass as one they can dispose of.

Great pub- Cosy atmosphere and sports shown when major events. No GF beer. Can be very busy.

Packed - really difficult to get a seat - we got one: at the bar. Fantastic atmosphere- the Irish pub is still alive! It's called the Bridge bar

Very pleasant few drinks in Bridge. Very nice bar person Shane

First class entertainment great staff

Grand bar but lost a lot of soul when expand ed and renovated.

Cosy bar with open fire and friendly bar staff.

Good spread regards the age of customers, music was very good and craic good, toilets were clean and bar staff very friendl- sure what else could you ask for , good night by everyone in our company , I would recommend.

Very busy bar. Great beer garden.

Staff very friendly and cosy homely place to chill during the week for a quiet one or craic at the weekend. Lovely beer garden and regular good live music.

Here for the champs league final you go in it looks small but go further down the back you come to smoking area with bar and plenty of seats. I thought the place was funky and comfortable. Nice pints too

Good craick, good music and atmosphere

Great place. Cosy Great atmosphere here

Great place, lovely pints! Good variety, and reasonably priced

Fab wee bar, quality products and a cheeky bartender to boot! Just lovely

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

Great atmosphere, live music, what's not to like?

Out for a night out. Brilliant smoking area with live music at the weekends. Bar also located out side too in smoking area . Brilliant craic nice friendly experience

Excellent bar, big fire, lots of craft beer. Best bar in town

Nice atmosphere and space outside at the back

It's great but like 3 pubs in 1 with its layout people are sectioned off alot. Best place in Newry though

Great place to have a few drinks with friends as well as a fantastic beer garden!

Severly Overcharging on euros exchange rates but lovely pub

Work done has given the bar such a lift.

Great atmosphere and buzzing since the latest refurb.

Great bar but like a lot of bars in irland the music is so loud that u can not even speak with your friends. Great atmosphere i m french and i met people, they came to me and invited me a their table. Great evening.

Great buzz about the place, open mic is good on a Thursday

Bar staff not 2 friendly more time 4 old costumers thane new 1s my 1st time in the place waited 10 mins 4 a drink water a joke 👎👎👎 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Fantastic staff. Beautiful bar. Great range of beverages. And great atmosphere well done bridge bar

Great atmosphere in the well laid out beer garden. Sit in the sun or the shade while have having a sample of their fine choice of beers. Staff are friendly and make a genuine attempt to make your visit more enjoyable. Can't fault.

Great choice of drinks and very lively place to sit in.

A really nice atmosphere and great selection of draught beers. Highly worth a visit🍺

Great atmosphere, amazing selection of beers and spirits, and the fires are always lit! Fantastic smoking area too.

Awesome bar. Very friendly. Great environment. Tidy place to stay.

The bar is old and very irish. dark but some character. the food is good and the service is decent.
