Ebbw vale's answer to trendy the Bridge is somewhat that for this lovely run down town.
Way out from the high street (if you can call it that) situated next to the rugby club the Bridgend is the local hotspot for a Saturday night.
Nice and reasonable for drinks, although slightly more expensive than 'up town' there's usually an artist on a Saturday night and if it's full there's a really good atmosphere.
The restaurant is bloody lovely and at the moment they are doing an all you can eat Italian buffet which is properly worth ago at for £10 a head.
The Bridge also caters for parties and weddings alike and bank holidays are super duper fun, there's always some sort of entertainment.
Now be warned, this is a valley pub however well they dress it up and although the security team are shit hot, there's guaranteed to be at least two punch ups. Offenders get dragged through the crowd so be careful where you stand or like me you'll end up losing a shoe!
The decor and layout of the pub is nice but the beer garden is something else. Decking and a huge lawn goes hand in hand with huge crowds as soon as the sun comes out.
Everyone knows everyone in this pub so if your an outsider you will feel like it! Best to go in a gang i'd say! read more
