Bricklayers Arms in Hackney

Typical English pub. Manager was a racist and a fat shammer. Felt sorry for the staff when they had to apologise on behalf of him. Wouldn’t recommend at all

The gents smelt so bad that my eyeballs melted. Have they never heard of a cleaner. Just very lazy .

Pedí un Malibu y una coca-cola, obtuve un doble, pagué un doble ya que aparentemente es todo lo que sirven. Bebidas servidas en plástico No regresaremos

Came for drinks with friends nice vibe about the place although staff attitude let this place down a bit

He estado en este pub muchas veces a lo largo de los años y la bienvenida siempre ha sido cálida. Estilo habitual para un pub Sam Smiths. Una visita obligada en nuestros viajes a Londres.

Fue aquí recientemente y vimos el comportamiento más espantoso que he visto por el personal de pub. El bar estaba lleno y una joven mujer había pedido una ronda de bebidas. La persona bar poner las bebidas y volvió como una propina. El cliente no ha tocado. La gente estaba con intentamos decirle al personal que el cliente no había tocado la copa, pero primero ese miembro, seguido por otro personal, reducido a la mujer a llorar al pedir que pague por ello, independientemente de lo que había sucedido. Los clientes de nuevo intentó explicar lo que había visto, pero que no cambia para el personal. Sólo puedo suponer que el personal disparos había sido tocar atrás toda la noche detrás de la barra había estorbado su capacidad de cogitate claramente. Por favor no patronise un lugar como este, vete a otro sitio, ya que hay un montón de personal decente con mejor boozers.

This place has different beers that you're not used to, there are multiple floors and the outside looks really nice

Stopped here for a quick beer, before heading onto a local cocktail bar. I have to say the beer wasn’t good. Meantime IPA was average and didn’t taste like it should. Also they don’t take card payments for under £10, I can’t recall the last time I went into a pub and this was the case. Experience could have been a lot better. So not overly impressed.

In the era when the pubs are either closing down or turning into gastro pubs it’s a blessing to find one that still maintains its old relaxed style, decor and music. I don’t know what they play on a regular basis, but during my visit I heard Specilas, Led Zeppelin and other 70s and 80s stuff. Let’s keep this place running.

Somehow we always end up wanting to go to the pub around Tottenham Court Road. Not the easies to find a place where you can sit, talk and afford the drinks. This is 5 in walk from the substation and that end of Oxford Street. 2 pints for 7.90 - a bargain! Nice staff!

Si vous passez dans ce quartier, le lieu est très typique et on s'y sent comme à la maison. Ambiance décontractée et accueil agréable. Fréquenté par des locaux avant tout, je recommande ce pub.

I worked near here in the 1980s and returned late last year to find it hadn't changed really except slightly for the worse . It's a small place and popular with the after work crowd and it's basic interior is rather scruffy and in need of an update. Staff are somewhat indifferent and all in all, this is an area you can do better. Presumably some hipsters will take it over and fold it into the Shoreditch massif.

Local agradável, com som ambiente bacana! Tem dois cachorros fofos. Cerveja boa com preço justo. Alguns móveis antigos!! :)

Be sure to go here during a hot day when the whole street outside will fill up after work. A good basic set up to catch up with mates in an area that contains more bars and clubs than pubs

Went in with four friends around 11:30pm last Saturday. Tried ordering five pints but the woman bartender said we could only order from the fridge. Okaaay. We ordered five bottles. Three minutes later a large bouncer comes by and says "You need to leave". We said we just got the beers, can we finish them? "NO, you NEED TO LEAVE" he says, handing us plastic cups. What the hell ever happened to turning the lights up and giving a 15 minute warning? And politeness. Oh well, at least we got some free plastic cups. Never, ever go back.

Came here to ask about an art piece that was installed in the pub until 2013. Was rudely spoken to by both staff and customers. Most likely the clubhouse for the rudeness society.

Popped in for a quick use of the toilet before an interview and asked for a coke. As usual didn't have any cash with me, and because I was unable to pay the bartender offered me the coke for free. Definitely will be coming back. Service like this is worth it. Besides they have really good music. -thanks for the coke! Ps: free coke has nothing to do with review, don't think they were expecting me to do it.

Went here for a drink before dinner with my wife and ordered 2 glasses of rose which we decided to take outside as it was very warm welcome were not asked if we were drinking inside or outside.the wine was really cheap quality and my wife poured her wine into my glass as she found it disgusting as I was about to drink it one of the bar staff come up to me and said "GET INSIDE WITH THAT GLASS" NOT SORRY MATE YOU NEED A PLASTIC GLASSThis pub needs to up its game such a shame as in a good location sort your rude staff out

Have been visiting this pub on our trips to London for a number of years and have always been greeted by the ever friendly manager of this pub and the staff employed here. The facilities are well looked after by the team and as this is one pub with staff stability I'm sure Sam Smiths brewery must think the same. I don't know if the company operate a group bonus scheme for the staff, if they do the manager and his team would definitely get one if I had my say. Beer and lager were well kept. Food was just what we expected. Cheers!!

Tried this place as it had a reasonable selection of cask ales. My partner's pint was fine but I had a different ale that appeared very flat, and tasting confirmed this. I took it back to the bar where the barmaid vehemently protested that it was "beer not lager" and was "supposed to taste flat". I advised that I am a regular ale drinker and CAMRA member but she became rather rude and refused to change my pint. I won't be back and I'd recommend checking for freshness before ordering.

Glad to see this Pub is still here, we came with friends who had not been to this part of London before, they said it like the Queen Vic!We enjoyed a nice drink here before our night out. Highly recommend

We popped in for a pint or two before lunch. There was a faint smell of disinfectant which was slightly off putting to start with, but the beers are kept well and the serving staff friendly enough. It's worth a visit if you find yourself in Shoreditch. There's definitely worse places!!

We stopped by for a drink as we were early for our dinner reservation. There were plenty of seats in the bar. The outside of the bathroom looked dirty so I didn't go in.

This is a nice traditional pub, however they insist on playing the music/jukebox at deafening volume. I asked them to turn it down as it was impossible to hold a conversation, which they did. But ten minutes later they turned it back up. I'm not an old fart and I love music, but when it's too loud to hold a conversation with someone sitting next to you, it's a bit ridiculous.

Nice pub, good selection of real ales & craft beers. Also good company and a reassuring lack of Christmas jumpers. Plenty of other bars in the area so a good starting point for a 'beer appreciation tour'.

A perfect example of a pub from Yankee point of view. Staff was nice, burgers and fish were very good, great place to have a few and a bite to eat.

This is a basic London pub with a good atmosphere, friendly staff. The only thing I have eaten there is a hot dog with chips. It was very good for what it was. Worth a visit.

An old fashioned pub with lots of Hipsters enjoying a social evening drinking. No frills but friendly enough with decent ale at realistic prices.

As usual the beer is good but there is no tv to watch the sport. Good is the same as throughout the country good standard. One day they may have sport n telly in these pubs. But the beers good so perhaps that's the difference.

ブロムリーサウス駅前にあるウェザースプーンよりも価格は高めです。ただ雰囲気はまさにパブと言った感じです。スキャンピー＆チップス、美味しかったです。

This is a busy pub in the evenings and probably best visited in the summer when people have more room to spill onto the streets outside. A reasonable selection of beers and lagers albeit a little on the pricey side. Mind you, this is London and this is trendy Shoreditch. I suspect the pub has been around for 100+ years and it's a good enough place to take a break and watch the world go by.

Excellent service at lunchtime. Lovely choice of ciders. Perfect Hoxton location. Good music. No idea about evenings but perfect for a lunchtime beer.

I lived in shoreditch for a while and when you want to go to a decent local, that;s slightly below the london average in terms of price, just have a couple of pints and a conversation it's perfect. I know loads of bars and pubs in the area have the mood completely killed when the 'city lads' come in on the shots at 8pm on a weekday, you don't need to worry about that in the brickies, everyone's just there to have a reasonably nice time. there's very rarely any posers or shoreditch types around in there, it's a breath of fresh air in the area I think.

Had a pint in here as part of a little pub crawl, fairly empty and therefore devoid of atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon (contrast this to the nearby Ten Bells which was very busy). Did have a very good juke box and perhaps comes alive at night..

In its hey day propbably a half decent boozer. These days it looks and feels like an old sports coat that you don't want to give away. You don't wear it anymore but hang onto it for sentimental reasons. The indoor air was stale and heated to about 400 degrees. The staff disinterested and the quality of liquors on offer was bog standard. With the plethora of decent drinking holes nearby not sure I'd give this place another blast.

I have loved Sam Smith's beer for ages, and Bricklayers arms used to be favourite. We were in there this weekend for a mate's birthday the management was so rude and offensive we will never go back again. Also, I don't believe the bar as been cleaned in the last decade either. There are loads of nice pubs, and two other Sam Smith's pubs within walking distance. I would avoid the Bricklayer's Arms at all cost.

Sunday. .... Maybe she didn't want to be there but don't spoil it for your customers. It's an okay pub and we have been there more than once but you won't go back if you get bad service. You will return to a pub where the owners and the staff are friendly. Its not hard to smile and be gracious that doesn't cost anything .... maybe hiring young staff who don't understand pub culture is not the best idea for your business. We won't be back its been crossed off the list as there are many more choices in the area.

We were looking for something other than the usual pub fare. This place offers a Thai menu and all the food we had was very good.

We came here at the recommendation of a friend after touring the British Museum. Although it was cold and they were having an issue with the heaters not working , the room upstairs had comfy seating and a roaring fireplace that took the cold away. Got to catch up with old mates and the drinks were fabulous!! Can't say anything about the food, we had packets of crisps, but the pints... Best atmosphere at a London pub I've had yet

A pub with good atmosphere in Rivington Street. Decor is a bit sparse! But the lace is friendly and adds to the whole atmosphere of this area in Shoreditch - well worth a vist

Stumbled on the Bricklayers Arms, as we were a party of 12 without a booking on a Saturday we were struggling to eat, but they managed to accommodate us without any hassle. Thai restaurant upstairs, easy to miss. Meals were served promptly given the size of our party. Excellent food, tasty and spicy and reasonably priced. Give it a try!!

This Bar is situated on the busy Rivington street.Where there are plenty of bars and eateries.good friendly bar good atmosphere as i said good ales to boot.

Staying in Shoreditch we began a search for a curry, but walked in the opposite direction of Brick Lane ... schoolboy error! We ended up in Hackney, bit could find only Vietnamese restaurants packed to the gunnels. Luckily we found the Bricklayers Arms down a side street, which has a Thai restaurant upstairs. On the surface it's a bit unprepossessing, but the food did the talking. Superb fishcakes to start and then absolutely delicious curries and rice. Lots of beer available on tap too. Recommended.

Nice small Sam Smiths pub!Only downside not open on a Sunday!!Larger £4+ a pint, bit expensive even for London!
