The Bridge Inn is not shown on any map, but its location (or, more precisely, the location of the Shirriff-house that replaced it) is clearly explained in the text of The Lord of the Rings. It stood immediately to the west of the Brandywine Bridge, so it would be the first building encountered by a traveller entering the Shire along the East Road. We're also told that it was on the left, from the point of view of such a traveller, which would place it on the south side of the road.
