Bridge Inn, Newhaven

I found he Bridge to be a reasonable pub with lots of distractions including two dartboards, bar billiards, a pool table, a jukebox and a quiz machine. There are also some TVs and which hopefully show sport when it is on, but as it wasn’t during my visit last night (Monday) Alan Carr Chatty Man was on which is not really my cup of tea, but the few locals in attendance seemed to appreciate it. The bar supports three hand pumps that were drawing Harveys Best and Old Ale alongside Courage Best. There is also a standard draught selection and the Guinness was on good form. There is a small area to the rear of the pub for smokers and some steps lead upstairs, but these were blocked off during my visit so I do not know where they go, if anywhere. I found the down to earth locals to be friendly enough and although I wouldn’t make this a destination pub I would have no problem returning for a pint or two.
