Review: Brooklyn's American Diner & Bar, Bamber Bridge - weird, imperfect diner we're happy to have
Brooklyn's in Bamber Bridge opened in 2021 and did something we can probably all sit in agreement and acknowledge as a great thing. They took what was a huge empty building, the former Royal Bank of Scotland on Station Road, and put it to use.
What this means is that no matter what my experience was eating at Brooklyn's for the very first time about a year later, there's a little bit of gratitude in me. As long as people are using it and it's able to stay open and using the space, then that's something anyone with roots in the area can and should be reasonably pleased with.If that sounds like preamble for a roasting, then you might be disappointed.
The menu is divided up into small and big plates. You can get a garlic flatbread for £2.95 or nachos for £3.95. There's plenty of value to be found in this side of the menu. The beer is decent with some different selections if, like me, you spend most of your time is just two Bamber Bridge pubs and moan annoyingly about the selection in them.
Chicken and ribs at £15.95 means that the same value found in the small plates doesn't necessarily extend to the grill section of the menu. Everything is fine. The chicken is cooked well enough with a cajun chicken that's reasonably basic but enjoyable and the ribs are stripped down within moments of arriving. The mushroom, tomato and slaw are more plate decorations in this meal as they so often are.
