Ha'penny Bridge - Benalmádena

I used to go there every year and loved the bacon and cabbage. There was a distinctly Irish flavour and that is no longer the case. Things have changed for the worst. I'm afraid the food quality has deteriorated, big time.

Excellent breakfast best in the resort, quality food,friendly staff. Amazing coffee good price recommend a visit.

My twin brother Stephen and I were walking around this area of this sun drenched resort when we decided to drop into the Ha'Penny Bridge ,a pub we always look forward to visiting on any holiday we take to Benalmádena . A great looking Irish pub ,the interior is superb ,main room dominated by a solid wood serving bar ,big screens to enjoy the sport ,wonderful decor and furnishings ,all the Irish bric a brac adorning the walls you would expect to find in a good Irish pub ,sports shirts hanging from the ceiling and lots of seating options both inside and outside ,it's just a great pub to unwind in. We got bottles of Mahou green beer and sat outside ,these beers were served freezing cold ,we chilled out and soaked up the sun while we supped our beers. A big fan of this beer from the Madrid region of Spain ,it's a golden ,light and hoppy beer bursting with taste and just so easy to to drink,it's a beer perfect for the hot climate out here along the Costa Del Sol,when this beer is served iced cold and sparkling as in this pub it's such a delicious beer indeed. We both really enjoyed our beers sat out in the sun before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to here we had a great time. The Ha'Penny Bridge is easy go locate along Calle Torrealmadena. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday,9.30am till 1am. Well worth checking out if you're planning a holiday to Benalmádena .,

We arrived around 7.45 and was told there would be a 30 minute wait for food as the kitchen was backed up and that was fine . We ordered drinks and then needed ordered a couple of minutes later. We ordered two kids sausages and chips and the southern fries Goujons and chips. By 8.30pm our food still had not come and we asked the waiter and he seemed shocked that we hadn’t got our food. We had to wait another 30 minutes and it was nearly 9pm while we got our food and by this stage we were just frustrated. The waiter apologised . Overall the food was fine but the service was slow. Maybe arrive earlier if you don’t want to wait so long for the food. My wife said the bathrooms were clean too. Bit disappointing having read the reviews on the Ha’ penny and was looking forward to a good evening there .

I found this bar not very family friendly. A female staff member was not very pleasant and should consider going on a customer service course. Her attitude left alot to be desired.The staff member in question was extremely rude also. I would not recommend visiting this bar. Particularly if you are visiting as a family. There are alot of other Irish Bars you can visit which are more welcoming to families with children. I would give 0 stars to this bar if I could. An extremely disappointing and not very pleasant experience was had by all of us. We will definitely not be back.
