The Bridge Hotel — Restaurant in Sydney

I use to regularly roll in here when other pubs shut or to see a band, I've been reading the reviews about it being run down grungy over crowded, hot and small to boot a lot of the people that go to it are also grungy and stand outside probably trying to get a breath of air. I noticed lately it's been painted and looks better now. It was falling apart. I guess if live bands and grungy looking characters are your thing well your laughing because your In your element. They have a booking agent now which probably reduces the odd walk in from the locals to see whats going on. They also get some bands that use to play the pubs years ago Chasing the train was a regular at the Cat and Fiddle and it use to get packed out but it's more open and kind of less grungy. For posterity sake and live band gigs I'd be happy to keep it around these days booking to go into grunge to go deaf and stand among likewise I not really interested in any more. So I will leave my own preferences out of the quations if judgement and merit and just have to give it a 3 on the basis of size, grunge, booking arrangements as there are other live gigs around that are better in these factors but not so easy to find this type of band gig house around. Thumbs up for the grungy uniqueness only unfortunately. But don't want it to dissapear as it's...

I attend sutra sunrise here July 6 2025, I have been many times before however I did not feel safe and witnessed extreme disregard by staff for RSA standards. Bathrooms were inaccessible and people urinated all over the place, I saw medical emergencies being ignored, no crowd control. When I voiced my concerns with staff multiple times I was either laughed at or blown off. I like to party, yes but I've seen first-hand how this level of negligence results in tragedy and decided to leave early for safety concerns. This is not how sutra sunrise events were in the past however I did attend another sutra event at kinselas on Oxford that was also completely unacceptable in terms of safety. I don't recall ever having to leave other venues due to safety concerns. If you also experienced this you can report to RSA board like I will be doing. Include any videos you have to support your claims.

Shame on...

I’m not a review person but man this was a dump. We (some friends and I) spent $50 each on a ticket for what we assumed was a rager, however we went in 3 times to a dead space throughout the night with our last time in being at 1.30am. When we tried explaining that we wanted a refund for our ticket we were met with hostility and attempted intimidation by whom I can only assume is a manger/higher position and staff. I was looking forward to a night of trance music and dancing but honestly the disrespect shown by the bridges staff and management showed me customer service at its finest. I have let my peers in the rave scene know to boycot the bridge until they have a refund policy in place for the night of events (such as a 50% refund or a credit for the next party) I suggest you do to. Very disappointed and will be ensuring to pass this onto others in...
