The Bridge Inn, Isleworth

Used to live almost opposite and isn't too bad. Same faces in every night and some characters, including Stella-drinking dog in corner. 2 halves to it; one with your pool table, dartboard and jukebox and the other more quiet half. Is good to have the choice, although the smell from the restaurant can get a bit overpowering in the quiet half. Not a brilliant pub but not bad. Handy for the station

Until earlier this week the last time I had been in here was in 1992 whilst I was attending Hounslow Borough College (I think it's called West Thames now, how posh!) It's changed a bit with the addition of a Thai restaurant which makes the drinking part of the pub a lot smaller than it used to be. The pool table and dart board are still there and an extra couple of screens have been put in for the sports. Sharps Doombar and Eden were on alongside Black Sheep, John Smiths Extra Smooth and a few bog standard lagers. I had to wait a minute or so for the barman to finish putting pint glasses in the fridge before I was served – no apology was proffered. I've no real complaints about the pub except for the overpowering smell of Thai food wafting around the pub.
