The Bridge Tavern, Kilburn

Now called OSTERIA DEL PONTE. One of the nicer pubs at this end of the Kilburn High road, but unfortunately the perpetually miserable bar manager and a few of the staff have the inconvenient task of actually serving customers!!! These have to be some of the most sour people in North London, which lets downs what could potentially be a really good pub.

Half of it seems to be reserved as a restaurant which is always empty, the pub section is normally quite busy you would have thought they would have taken the step to turn the restaurant into a larger bar, but I guess that would lead to more work for the staff so that will never happen.

And why, in December, they persist in leaving the doors open I do not know, your customers are sitting in their coats!!!
