About this restaurant

For centuries, pubs have been synonymous with good cheer, hearty fare and enduring friendships. From this legacy grew the inspiration for Stirling Bridges Restaurant and Pub, a classic British gastropub serving fine artisan cuisine, classic pub food and designer pizzas baked to perfection in our state-of-the-art brick oven. Tipplers will delight at our 70 ft. long bar, premium liquors, house specialty drinks and diverse selection of 60-plus beers, lagers and ales from around the world. We know that games of skill and good conversation go hand-in-hand, so we invite you to compete on our dartboards or pool table. If you just want to relax, we encourage you to do so in the Churchill room with its relaxing lounge atmosphere, on the patio, where full service is available, or simply find a spot to watch one of our 12 flat-screen televisions for a great game day experience. Welcome to Stirling Bridges! We know this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

We love this place. When the weather warms up, we will be coming very often after work because they allow dogs on the patio. Danielle was our server and did a great job.

We have always enjoyed Stirling Bridges. Now that we know that they have patio seating that is pet friendly, we will make it a regular stop with our new puppy. Courtney was our server again. She's the best.

the service and server were excellent. the food was good. i got the fish and chips, which i thought would be more traditional due to the bar/restaurant type. the fish was great, but the chips (fries) were just regular fries, like frozen style, even if they were not. my wife enjoyed her meal, which was some sort of pie with salad. nice place for pool and darts.

I took my husband and 13 year-old daughter to Stirling Bridges for Valentine's Day. We had just been to London last year, so I thought it would be kind of a fun, out-of-the-ordinary reminder of our trip. We chuckled over the "Mind the Gap" sign right at the entry. We got English beers, and some appetizers. The appetizers were the best part, I think. The sweet potato poppers were delicious, and the Scotch eggs were a big hit at our table. The entrees didn't seem as successful. The tri-tip was kind of tough and the beef in the beef stroganoff was also pretty chewy. We ordered dessert, and we all loved the chocolate almond bread pudding. The red velvet cake was also fairly good, but wasn't a favorite for our table of chocolate lovers. The service was good, and everyone was friendly. My only tiny little complaint is that the server asked us if we wanted dessert when I was only about halfway through my meal. Other than that, the service and appetizers get my highest marks at Stirling Bridges.

Perspective is everything. If you are looking for a pub, it's great. 5 stars. That is clearly their focus. You will be pleasantly surprised by the full menu. If, like me, you made a reservation on open table expecting a restaurant experience, you won't be so impressed. We ordered the bangers and mash, and a pasty... Both were bland. (It is hard to fault that... That's how authentic British food tastes!) Our server saved all of her personality for her coworkers - laughing away. With us, she said as little as possible and didn't smile. We would have preferred a later dining time but 4:15p was all they had available. Not sure why - the place was empty. I'm trying to think of what to compare it to... It's definitely not an Olive Garden or Buca di Beppo which have decent food and cultural ambience overload. Scale it way down and make the food so-so. *shrug* it's a pub!

Great customer service in person, email, phone & quick & easy reservation, great variety of healthy food selections on the menu, beautiful scenary, the bar with sports tv, the quiet side with lighting. Everything is perfect. Totally recommend this for a great dine! No disappointment. Also, I love that they're willing to place an order in advance with reservation to be ready upon arrival. Thank you for your service!

First time here. Reservation went fine. Used to be Brother Oliver's. Wish it still was. Inside isn't much to look at. Very bare. Looks unfinished. Food was ok. Pretzel appetizer was very good. My meal, bangers and mash was very bland, which might be intentional. Wife got the Risotta. Very creamy, overall ok. Service was ok. Nothing terrible to say about this place. Nothing great either. Very mediocre.

One of our favorites just got better. We found out that they allow dogs on the patio area. We'll be bringing our new puppy when the weather gets a little warmer. Courtney was our server and did a great job.

The food and service have always been good. They have made some changes to the menu that may not be too popular. The chicken curry does not come with cauliflower any longer. The "mug" size for draft beers has been removed. Benjamin was our server and did a great job.
