Bridge Inn, Rotherham

Pub & live music venue.

Recently internally restyled in a Goth décor. The original home of Rotherham CAMRA, the pub reverted to its original name after a spell as Nellie Denes. It is an Old Mill tied house, originally built for the Mappin Brewery, opposite, in 1930 using stone from the original Bridge Inn, which dated back to the 1700s. Up to four real ales from Old Mill are on the bar. There is live music most Friday and Saturday evenings with open mic on Thursday evenings. Upstairs, two function rooms are used. The nearby Chantry Bridge has one of only three Bridge Chapels still existing. There is a wall mural by Phil Padfield in the outside yard area that was done for the 125th anniversary of Arthur Wharton's signing for Rotherham Town FC. Arthur was the first professional black player in the UK. Local CAMRA branch most improved pub 2022. Pub sold and closed suddenly in early October 2024. Future uncertain.
