The Bridge Bar

You'll find yourself on North Street, heart of Newry's town centre, pushing through the doors of a place that feels like it's been pouring pints the right way for years. The Bridge Bar has that unhurried, unfussy atmosphere where you're just as welcome nursing a single drink for hours as you are throwing back rounds with mates. It's the kind of spot where regulars have their spots, the staff know what you're drinking before you ask, and the mix of ages and faces tells you everything about how embedded this place is in the town's social fabric. The fact that 414 people have bothered to rate it well says something—locals don't waste time on mediocrity.
