Bridges Tavern - Thornbury

Took a detour out to this stretch of Thornbury and surrounding area during our Collingwood trip. We were craving some lunch and patio action and we were

2nd time there for our annual trip out to Thornbury / Blue Mountain.

I love this tavern with its spacious patio/lawn by the lakeThey even have a ping-pong table. In terms of food - it's a solid pub.

Driving through Thornbury to go to The Dam Pub. Got turned away from that place as it was reservation only (no info of this on their site). Tried several other restaurants in the area to be turned down by all, including this place, as they were at their limit and their kitchen was already "behind by an hour" according to hostess. This place, along with all the other restaurants we tried, is a business. For profit. How do you justify turning people away from your restaurant when you are running a business for profit? Was just astounded. Never had this happen before. Anywhere.

Very disappointed with the food. I ordered a BIG roasted beet salad and was given a SMALL salad with a few slices of canned beets and just a few crumbs of cheese. There was no salad dressing either. My husband ordered a pork sandwich, again really small portion with more bun then pork.When asked how our meal was the waiter simply apologized and didn't offer to fix anything. We were charged $45 for this snack! Outrageous.
