It is not a problem to have a bridge, but it should introduce or complete the narrative. Just to include one for having it for most is a big mistake.
The most important point of verse and bridges is how they hit against the chorus and therefore does the chorus work directly against them.
The best songs work with a chorus that changes / grows each and every time you hear it in a song - Look at Welcome to the Hotel California, nice, strange and now dark, take this as 101 chorus development.
The goal is to try, write a bridge or two or three for this and try to make each one act on the chorus differently - if none of them work, it is still a great excercise!
