The Bridge House is a Wetherspoons in two adjoining buildings so the interior has two distinct sides. In the left there is a bar on the rear wall that faces open plan seating to the front floor to ceiling windows. Down the right hand side is more seating that is a little quieter than the main seating area. Out the back is a beer garden with covered booths along the back fence and upstairs is another bar with only standard and premium keg available. This is not the case for the downstairs bar that also supports eight hand pumps that were drawing Maxim Brewery’s Double Maxim, Ruddles, Whitewater Brewery’s Belfast Black, Brain’s SA Gold, GK Abbot Ale, Sharp’s Doom Bar, Ringwood’s Fortyniner and Cameron’s Strongarm Ruby Red Ale. The usual JDW food menu is in operation. This isn’t the greatest Spoons I’ve visited, but it was very busy for a midweek evening and £1.10 for half a Belfast Black stout can’t be sniffed at.

A straightforward two floor Wetherspoons (bar on each) décor’d in some colourful modern art, light colours and a bit of wood. Which in most cities in the UK would elicit a ‘meh’ but in the cask ale desert of Northern Ireland its appearance was a blessed relief. Three genuine guest ales; my Rudgate Chocolate Stout was well looked-after (NBSS 3.5) and it was interesting to note that plenty was being sold, maybe there isn’t enough call for cask to be on it most places in Norn but those who do like it will certainly congregate where it’s known to be decent. Ate here as well, JDW usual fayre. One downside was a lack of table clearing. A solid Spoons and in the context in which it operates, you’ll probably want to pop by. Note that It opens from 8am but alcohol is only available from 11.30.

A good sized Wetherspoon’s pub on the periphery of the central area, it’s relatively uninteresting compared to many of their outlets and has little in the way of any character. That said, it was full to capacity on both of our visits over the weekend, with no tables free on either occasion.
Internally it’s divided in to two areas, with a larger area to the left and a smaller one to the right. Some sort of wooden laminate was on the central walkway and around the bar counter, with the usual JDW carpet elsewhere. Cream plasterwork was on the walls, with dark wood panelling down below. A few random, and colourful pieces of artwork livened up what would otherwise have been a very bland room. The only feature of any note was an unusual copper sculpture in the middle of the room, although what this represented was not clear. Seating was a mixture of the usual tables and chairs that seemed very tightly packed in, along with some copper coloured Chesterfield style bench seating to one aside.
There was at least a decent selection of beers on tap which seems rather unusual in Belfast, and on this occasion consisted of Ruby Abbott, Ruddle’s Best, Arkell’s 3B, Titanic’s Another Pint in the Wall, Adnam’s Cashmere IPA, Castle Rock’s Heart of Glass and Robinson’s Cascade IPA. Ciders meanwhile were Magners, Strongbow, Strongbow Dark Fruit and Thatcher’s Gold, the latter being a welcome respite from the dross available from other pubs in the vicinity and went down a treat.
