Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Bridge Hotel
An overdue revisit - this really is one of the finest examples of a proper town pub with a full range of traditional fittings and décor in the opened out bar and screened side room to the right, plus spectacular views of the Tyne bridges from the rear windows and outside terrace. A wide selection of cask ales - including Ossett x Brew York Yazu Pale and Riverhead Mocha Mild this time - and a couple of ciders, as you would expect from a Fitzgerald's house, from a total of ten handpumps. Top of the range.

Will Larter left this review about Bridge Hotel
Spectacularly placed right next to the High Level Bridge, and opposite the Norman castle keep, this beautiful pub is easily reached from the nearby railway station. Despite its glorious interior, it does not feature in Camra's heritage list, probably because most of it is reproduction or restored. The lobby inside the door has some pretty tiles, and there is stained glass to admire every way you look. The bar counter is dark wood and sports are large number of hand pumps which we'll call 10; my halves of Rudgate Viking and a collaboration between Abbeydale and Saltaire called Mill Around Saltaire were both ok without being brilliant (NBSS 2.5). I'd still consider this a must visit for the all round pub experience, but there is better quality beer to be found than here.

I can’t add to PSM’s full review, it’s a fine example of the wood and glass expertise of the pub designers of old. I had a lovely pint of Jarl a particular favourite of mine, from one of the 10 hand pumps. Usual range of usual kegs. Not one to miss.
