Popular and lively local pub in the centre of the village. The Bridge has been refurbished but retains its friendly traditional atmosphere and continues to serve an excellent pint. It offers occasional live music, wide screen TV, pool table and darts. In 1897, after the Snaefell mining disaster in which 20 men perished, the cellar area was used as a temporary morgue. On a historical note, licensees were in the 1800s bound by law to take in any corpses, due to the cool conditions of their cellars. There are rumours of a resident ghost! There are facilities for a restaurant upstairs, but it is not currently in use. The downstairs areas are split into two rooms with the main bar used being to the right on entering. Complete with real fire and fireplace in the winter, this bar area of The Bridge gives the UK visitor a real flavour of a traditional Manx pub. There is a second bar to the left, which is less well used currently, but useful as an over-spill on busier occasions or as a meeting room on occasions.
