Stonegate Group Sells The Kilburn Bridge Pub

Stonegate Group will close The Kilburn Bridge pub on Kilburn High Road on September 20 after selling the Victorian-era site. The establishment, operated under the Craft Union Pub brand, is the second pub in the area to shut down in recent weeks, following the closure of The Priory Tavern.

Stonegate stated the sale is part of an ongoing review of its estate to ensure long-term success. The pub will mark its final day with a party featuring live music. The site originally opened in the 1860s as the Volunteer Hotel and has operated under several names over the decades, including the Rifle Volunteer, Bridge Tavern, Memphis Belle, and Betsy Smith.

The closing venue holds a 3am license and is known for hosting sports and live music.
