Bridge Hotel

One of Richmond's many drinking institutions, the Bridge Hotel brings the outside in with a unique design and a great atmosphere. Split in two by a 50-metre-long cobblestone path, it's a traditional Victorian pub combined with individual spaces that have been themed as the types of bars and venues you might find in a typical CBD laneway. There are five themed areas plus an additional loft space that becomes a bustling dance floor on busy nights of the week.

Maintaining its robust roots, Carlton Draught is still the drink of choice at the Bridge, but there's a broader selection of beer, cider, wine and spirits for those looking to branch out. Happy hours happen every weekday from 5–7pm, with $4 pots, $7 pints and $7 house spirits. And on Fridays, espresso martinis are available for $13 all day, too. What better place to kick off the weekend while creating some questionable memories with your colleagues?
