Its red brick building stands steadfast in Bendigo, but the inside of The Bridge Hotel is what really calls a lively crowd. Intended to enhance lively conversation, The Bridge Hotel's restaurant has a low key ambiance that intertwines with a slick style and enough room for a live band, where friends sink into comfortable chairs or sip pre-meal drinks in the breezy alfresco area. The large selection of wine, beers and top shelf liquors matches a menu of Modern Australian cuisine, fused with Asian and Mediterranean influences. Main meals are made to fill even the hungriest of patrons with dishes like rolled pork belly slow cooked in master stock with coconut rice, chilli jam, bok choy, coconut prawns and Kewpie slaw, finishing with chilli caramel sauce or the Wagyu burger with rustic chips.
