This bar has now closed. This and the surrounding units, along with PwC's office building next door are being demolished to make way for the Shard of Glass Building. It's a shame to see the Bridge Bar go as it was one of the only decent station pubs, probably in the country.

Useful for waiting for a train but nothing else going for it. seemed to be a lot of bags being nicked last time I was in there

Looks like it has closed down due to the lease running out. It must surely return in a new form.

It's crap, but it's in a station. Compared to the Bridge Bar's peer group it's probably the best station pub in the country. That's a bit like picking a favourite brain tumour, but you get the idea. It's probably at its best in the early morning when one of their surprisingly tasty bacon baps accompanied by a decent pot of tea combine to become one of the finer points of a commute to London.

This is the only pub I know (that said, I don't know much) that operates a Post Office style queue. When you enter, you are faced with a single file line of people waiting their turn to be served when they reach the head of the line, rather than the traditional approach of fanning out at the bar and attentive, professional staff making an effort to spot and serve people in the right order. They just don't try!
Pip-pippp!

Very expensive and as mentioned painfully slow at the bar, with no concept of serving people in order of arrival...
|
Not as bad as it could be. It could be the Wetherspoons at Victoria.
|
Rubbish pub, why do I need to complete a computer game like puzzle in order to use the pisser?
Do yourself a favour and buy beer from the Threshers and drink on the platform.
|
Regular in here for obvious reasons. V expensive but not that surprising because of its location. Bar staff can be very very very slow. The terrace outside is useful for keeping an eye on the trains but it would help if they had some control over who sits there, it is often filled with Macdonalds eating commuters just having a sit down, irritating when you've just spent �3 on a stella.
|
There are worse things to do than sit here nursing a pint of Hoegaarden, having just missed your train home thanks to London's hideous 19th-century underground system. Can take quite a while to get served, though.
|
not bad at all for a station bar, vastly better than most london station bars.
|
Admittedly not a bar you'd visit unless passing through the station, The Bridge Bar is however clean, tidy and friendly. It's a little expensive of course, but I'd recommend it as a meeting point or a quick pint before getting your train home.

Not bad, good location at the train station, so always a good meeting point.

bland All Bar Parrot and Lettuce style. bouncers for some reason. preferable to The Oasthouse due to it being less smokey, actually having toilets and being open later on a sunday

Total crap! Garfunkels was better.
Beer prices are stupid �3 quid for a cider! Looks like it was built at 3 o'clock in the morning with a flaming hangover!

This is the best place in the world... when u work at London Bridge and have been having a few beers with work mates - then you go to the station and realise u really need a piss before getting on a train. Perfect - just don't know where I'd be without it really!
