The Bridge Lounge

I was a little split on how to review The Bridge as it’s my work local and easily the best pub (of 2) within a 10 minute walk however I decided to be slightly more neutral and as a result it gets a 3.
There’s nothing particularly wrong with the pub apart from the square bar in the middle which can lead to a nightmare getting served as the bar staff tend to focus on little pockets of it and leave a lot unattended. Your best be would be to head upstairs, grab a comfy couch and then rely on table service.
Drink selection is OK. There tends to be more choice with bottles than tap although they do serve Kirin lager which is a favourite of mine and they tend to have 2 guest ales on a fairly regular rotation.
I’ve tried a few of the bar snack type offerings and and again these are OK but nothing startling however I have seen signs offering sausage and mash for £5 on a Monday which is tempting! Drinks come in at around £4.70 a pint which is expensive but fairly typical for London unfortunately.
Overall I haven’t really got anything against The Bridge Lounge. It’s just OK

I can’t say I checked this place out in its entirety. We just stood around and had a few pints and the drinks were fine. They didn’t mind us making a lot of noise.
Its a bit of a walk from London Bridge Station unfortunately which is a bit of a pain in this weather.
in short a pretty good 1 time experience.

I stumbled across this pub, while trying to find the The Pommeler’s Rest which in the end I gave up looking this pub I found mixed the old with a new very Pub Cellar looking with a Retro wine bar feel, the crowd in there were mainly young. There also looked like there was a upstairs area I didn’t quite reach that area, but judging by the amount of people popping up and down from that area I could gather it was very popular with the regulars.
Value for money drinks wise it was a definite no! no! for me, if you are coming here be prepared to pay Wine bar prices yeps it was a definite steep on the pocket my advice if you coming here take lots of cash or have one drink and find a cheaper pub Lol.

The Bridge Lounge has a massive airy upstairs room with enormous windows looking out on to Tower Bridge park and comfy sofas, and when we were there, they weren’t playing music upstairs, which made it nice and relaxing.
We ate, and I made the error of ordering a quesadilla, which turned out to be very small, and not exciting. The other dishes were ok. Drinks are not especially cheap, but for me the pleasant setting and room made up for that.

Just went here for work promotion drinks. Have been before and its one of my favourite pubs, the atmosphere is always good, i like the way the bar is set up on the ground floor (in the middle of the room so maximum possible bar space) and the upstairs is perfect for a more relaxed chat.
The hawk especially likes the cider selection. The bar snacks on offer tonight for the work drinks were also strong

Cool, crowded on the ground floor, less so on the first with a fabulous view of Tower Bridge. Waitress service in the spacious open lounge upstairs too. Trendy enough to be a bar rather than a pub, but they still sell proper beer.

Used this pub as a meeting place for friends before we all went out.
Great location, lovely views over Tower of London, great atmosphere & ok food.
It was a friday night & the place was packed but we went upstairs & were able to secure a couple of couches.
The staff were friendly & the drinks were coldwhat more do we need :)

This great bar on Tooley Street is perfect for large groups. I train nearby on a Saturday morning and can often be found with some of the guys and girls in here, having a rewarding drink and indulging in some of the extremely good food, all freshly prepared on the premises. With Borough Market just up the road always tempting us this is a testament to the quality. Special points go to the burgers which are great and the goats cheese salad.
The downstairs bar is tiny but service is quick and very friendly. There is an upstairs area of seats, great for private hire, which is very comfy. the manager recently allowed a large group of us to take over the floor as we’d arrived unexpectedly and it was much appreciated.
All in all, a very well run bar, great to go with mates, with good food and service. Perfect then!

Looking for a decent bar to relax with your mates in, then you could do much worse than here.
With lots of seating upstairs and down, including lots of comfy leather sofa’s, and tables outside for when it’s warm there’s plenty of room for large groups.
The bar is situated downstairs and has a god variety of drinks and the usual main spirits. They also serve a range of coffee’s for those being sensible.
Undoubtedly, the best thing about this bar is the food menu, it is simply fantastic. Home-​cooked food at great prices, with particular mention to the large burgers with thick wedges, this is relaxed service at it’s best. Admittedly, i’ve only ever visited this venue early afternoons on a Saturday as it’s right next to where i train, but i can’t help but think that it’s high standards and friendly service aren’t replicated at other times.
Great little bar which is definately worth a visit.

This pub used to be named ‘The Elusive Camel’ and so they have definitely opted for something a little more modern and sleek in the pub’s revamp! The name is as it suggests — it has a real loungy feel with big sofas and a cosy but quaint atmosphere. Despite thinking that the prices would have increased, they have actually maintained that local pub vibe by offering great menu deals — you can get traditional British dishes such as sausage and mash for £5 on a Monday night! The other meals on the menu are fantastic and as you would expect from a London pub — burgers, pies etc… but the quality is definitely above average. The burgers are huge! The price of alcohol is also very reasonable so it makes for a cheap night in a cool bar.
If you venture into the upstairs bar, you will see a beautiful view of Tower Bridge and the Thames. It is lovely to relax here with a large glass of wine after work as it isn’t too busy as is such with some of the Borough Market pubs, but still has a buzzy atmosphere.

I’m not one (generally) to use the term nice, but there are occasions when the stars align and the word fits.
The Bridge Lounge is one of the nicest pubs in London. A short walk from London Bridge Station down Tooley Street, the views from the pub are themselves rather pleasant, with Tower Bridge and the London Assembly building on the other side of the road.
It’s clearly positioning itself as that elusive bar /​pub hybrid so commonly called a lounge, but I would consider this a modern pub, comfortable yet upmarket. The beer is not expensive, with a good selection of continental lagers (if you like that sort of thing) and proper beers, including Adnams Spindrift, a lager-​style beverage with the hoppy deepness of a beer. Most refreshing.
The food has never disappointed, and it’s worth making the trip to the pub on Mondays, when Sausage and Mash night is a big winner. Three Sausages of your choice (from wild boar and venison, through apple and stilton, to vegetarian sausages) with a selection of Mash (standard, cheesy, herby) and a generous helping of gravy, all for the princely sum of £5.
(Obviously only accurate at time of writing)
Towards the end of the week the pub can get busy in the evenings, and in summer the clientele spill out onto the pavement in front. It does have the advantage of a spacious upstairs lounge that can be reserved — either as a whole or in parts — featuring deep old leather sofas, and more tables and chairs. I reserved half of the upstairs back in November for my 30^th, and their hospitality was superb. They didn’t charge me for the area, but I did help them out by ordering several platters of various delights. The food platters are fairly standard faire, but they are well cooked and exactly what you need to line the stomach during an extended session.
In summary, it’s a lovely pub with good service and beers, and an excellent Monday night Sausage and Mash special.
