The

The Bridge House, previously called Wetherspoons is a Lloyds No.1 bar still owned by JD Wetherspoons. This bar has an English look and feel to it, with most space taken up with tables and chairs. At night the music volume gradually creeps up and combined with the plasma TV's showing mad graphics, it's anything but relaxed.
The family section is avalible upstairs to suit those who wish to have a "quieter" night. There is also a value-for-money food menu which serves some decient food - good for during the day.
The benefits of this bar include its cheap drink and ample gambling facilities.

This is the first time I have been visited a pub in North Ireland. I have tried the ale called Hilden which is a local beer. It was nice, but strange because in my country we drink all the time Pils beer. The bargirl/server was very pretty but not friendly. I had some food and it was good, it was not expensive. Next week I go to Derry there is another Watherspoon pub there. I like Belfast, there is nice shops.

Nice bar, went there in afternoon. Good range of ales. Staff are friendly. There is one called ***** (her name came up on the till) who is very pretty but scowls at the customers. Decor OK. Comfortable, like a London pub in winter. Had no time to try food.

I called in a few days ago on a visit to Belfast. It has a good range of cask beers, and serves wine by the bottle. Their food is basic but good-basic. The staff are friendly except for one barmaid who is really pretty but you couldn't be nice to her. She has a hairdo like a Russian princess, and make-up a bit like a silent movie star. But fair enough, she's not one bit rude like a lot of barmaids I have come across over the years, and it was very busy indeed so maybe she was worked off her feet. The beer was good, it was local, I think called Hilden's. They show BBC news on screens, and they have newspapers in the toilets. So well worth a visit for a good lunch and good ale. Clientele neither here nor there.

This is a good bar for ale, good hand-pumped stuff. The staff are friendly, although Janet, who is really nice looking and has a nice smile to her colleagues, doesn't seem to like the customers. Pity, but I worked in a bar and you can get a bit pissed off sometimes. I give this bar about 8/10.

It's quite OK, and redheaded Janet is definitely a plus. She never smiles at the public, which is a pity. As she has a nice smile. Near to rail station, and a good range of ales.

Submitted on 12/01/2011

Very good range of draught ales. Service is generally good, even redhaeaded Janet occasionally smiles. Cosy decor. And not far from railway station so handy for quick ale on way home.

I visit Belfast regularly from Merseyside and often attend the Bridge House. Always found the staff and customers friendly, although the vibe does change later in the evening. Like anywhere, you sometimes get fighting when people are full of drink. Decent enough boozer !!!

Average Pub, A bit smelly and various crowd. Good for a drink or two only if you can pass the doorman. Rude and use their favourite foil language if something goes wrong. They have a shoes policy that I would appreciate to know how it works.

Not the best, if you want a drink, I would recommend you somewhere else where you don't have to go through this rubbish, as I am sure you don't want to spoil your night.

used to go there on a tuesday nite b4 the cinema, we were able to get upstairs for a few nites then they closed upstairs (at about 6.30) the service was good for the first few weeks, then they regularly ran out of food, got orders wrong and the wait nearly made us late for the cinema several times. Used to be good, now awful Laverys is much better value for a meal before the cinema.

I have never visited such a horrible and smelly pub in my life. Normally Wetherspoons pubs are of a good standard. The carpet reeked of vomit and booze and the chairs were filthy. I suppose that's the price we pay for cheap drink! I suggest a general price increase and use the extra money to hire a cleaner and carpet shampooer!.

Submitted by Belfast Visitor on 17/09/2007

I think the door men are just sooo gorgeous, especially the one called willy - as far as the pubs concerned, duno cause iv never been heard its rough - anyway drink is the devils brew - u'd be wise to stay away from it all together- save your money and save urself a hangover lol
