Pros: Very flexible, can select the number of shifts you get and can usually pick up or drop shifts at ease. Early finish, unless you are the closer, always busy, fun place to work at times. Customers are pretty chill.

Cons: Revolving door of staff, management seems to change hands every couple of months and adapting to new management styles consistently is sort of frustrating. Training provided is very poor if you are new to the industry. Can be overwhelmingly busy at times, especially weekends in the summer.

Working at Bridges was great. The patio is incredible in the summers. Slows down a lot in the winter but I'm sure the new renovated building will keep it busier this winter.

Generally a really positive work environment, great location and chill guests! It gets really busy and sometimes chaotic so it can be stressful, but so is any serving/bartending job. I gained a lot of great experience at this location and also gained a group of friends for life. Can't get much better than that. If you're up for some hard work with a decent pay off, join Tap and Barrel.

Very busy with not enough cooks, we made it work with a good team but I was there for upwards of 12 hours a day.
