The Bricklayers Arms

Timeless Pub Vibe with Unbeatable Pints

Nestled in a cozy nook of the town, The Bricklayers Arms presents itself as a charming, old-school community hub where the pints are kind to your wallet and the people are kinder still. Walking into this pub feels like unlocking the warm embrace of a well-loved jumper you forgot in the back of your wardrobe—timeless, comfortable, and oddly satisfying. It’s a veritable TARDIS of surprising quirks: a dartboard for the bold, Sky Sports for the passionate, and even a fishmonger who roams in on Sundays to offer pots of seafood treasures. A classic oil painting of what every local wishes their watering hole could be, it welcomes you whether you’re rolling solo or bringing the entire neighborhood over for a bash.

Where else does one enjoy a game of darts while the jukebox churns out time-worn ballads, all accompanied by the joy of tapping a pint non-eviscerating to your bank account? The lovable mishmash of regulars nodding hello from every table speaks volumes about the spirit here—boundaries blur and faces quickly become familiar under the glow of camaraderie that fills the air. The staff, never too occupied to crack a sly grin or waste a moment to have a laugh, light the space with friendliness similar to an old mate keeping your spot warm. Add to this, service that rivals any Olympic feat during peak Super Sunday footie events, and you’ll discover why I seem to find myself not only far and wide but somehow home at The Bricklayers Arms. — Milo Tastemaker
