In 2015, writers forWashingtonian said: "Upon walking into this old Georgetown hole-in-the-wall, you're greeted by overflowing shelves of books shoved into a tiny space. It feels like someone's apartment, and there's not much room to move around. But if you can score some elbow room, Bridge Street is a great place to browse, especially if you're an avid devourer of history, religion and philosophy works. There's not much literature, but there is a pretty impressive shelf full of literary criticism."[10] Emily Martin included Bridge Street Books in the magazine's 2019 list of five local bookstores with humorous Twitter accounts.[11]
