Bricklayers Arms in Bromley - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A very good pub .a really nice atmosphere. Music was very good.

Still the best pint of real ale in Beckenham High Street. Not just the quality, but the variety.

Was there at a private function.

Lovely place, friendly locals, good staff, great layout, everything good condition

Landlord nice landlady bit rude

Proper pub with great atmosphere.

Often pop in here for one when changing buses but without fail always a hello and goodbye welcome greeting and attentive bar staff. I have rarely had other than an excellent cask ale to boot. A local pub in a sea of other more anonymous venues. Watch out for the massive Spiderman climbing one wall.

Great traditional pub, lovely people, staff are brilliant, live music most weekends, Ukelele nights each Tuesday bring your uke and join in 😁

Nice little cosy pub. Pet friendly, card only. Great for a quick pint before a movie (right across odeon).

Wow, visited this pub this morning and was immediately welcomed by a warm and friendly welcome. But all changed in the afternoon by a barmaid that clearly did not want to be there arrived for her shift . I had visited this pub before and encounter the same barmaid and we both came to the same conclusion that it was all to much for her. For her regulars they were treated with a bit more respect but for us , we were treated like something she walked in. Very upsetting as this is a lovely pub.i pointed out to her that she had an attitude problem. She will bring this pub down and we will not be returning again.

The Yong lady behind the bar so friendly I her name was anne marie

Only popped in for one but pub was welcoming, Guinness was good and the lady who served us was friendly and happy to let my husband try a sample of the guest beer

Friendly staff who know how to pull a pint

Great selection of Real ales. And a lovely real open fire .

Not a Happy woman behind bar. Won't return.

Nice pub, good atmosphere and had a quick pint here.

Had a pint of Rosie"s Pig strong cider which I reallylike. Veryhospitable and friendlystaff. I visit here regularly when I'm in Beckenham Thanks

When looking for a pub, I look for atmosphere and comfort. Not only does this pub tick those boxes, it's a place where you can truly feel at home. From the fireplace to the music, this pub is truley one in it's own. No other pub in Beckenham, even in the local area, can match this venue's soul. A place I am glad to call my local.

Always love it here. Great 'boozer' atmosphere with super friendly staff.

A great place for a drink,or reception.The staff were very helpful at the wake..

Great pub, very friendly bar staff.

Good staff, I will return here next time i'm in the area.

Very pleasant used the pub for years always been good a bit pricey though and doesn't take cash

If I could give a 0 star review I would. The woman at the bar was extremely rude and did not serve me because I had a foreign ID. She asked for my ID (i’m 20 so I wasn’t surprised at all) she then declared that I needed UK identification bc that’s what the Bromley council requests and she does not was to loose her license and my ID doesn’t say my date of birth in English. It does. It is an EU Identity Card… accepted EVERYWHERE… I can even cross borders with it but apparently not enter a pub in London. She seemed like she wanted an argument, exclaiming that I needed a drivers license, I said I haven’t got one but this is a proficient legal document to prove my age. She told me I shouldn’t argue back. We left instantly as I was not bothered with such “foreigner” nonsense. I’ve spent most my life in this country. I’m just concerned for anyone who enters the pub with foreign documents who doesn’t look and sound “English”.

The worst food I've ever had advertised as Indian food n I bet not 1 of the chefs were from India absolutely shocking food DO NOT GO HERE

Great friendly pub. Ales are excellent. Shame no food but staff were happy for us to get fish and chips and eat it at the outside tables with our beer. We were lucky enough to be there on Tuesday night and there was good live music.

Called in after watching Wednesday win at Wembley and get promoted.... Quite a number of the drinkers congratulated us with enthusiasm and a smile... Really friendly bar staff... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Only dropped in for a real ale. Looked a nice pub, friendly staff, great selection of real ales plus all the usual tap beers.

Brilliant service from all staff and always a good atmosphere. One of beckenhmas finest

Nice little pub, cosy with a good choice of beers and ales. Unsure about the provision of food, but there's a good selection of pub nibbles - crisps, nuts, pork scratchings, scampi flavour fried crunchy things and other savoury snacks. Large number of eateries nearby as well as lots of fast food takeaways. Live music is offered once or twice a week on Friday and/or Saturday. Large outdoor covered seating areas outside for those who embrace the outdoors or smoke or both. Easy to locate, public transport readily available nearby, but no parking.

Brilliant place , great atmosphere , great staff and manageress.

Always friendly. Great pint of Guinness and they sell tato crisps it's a 5 star from me !

Very nice and friendly nice beer and comfy

Good range of beers, including real ales. Very well kept.

I have been here a couple of times / always a friendly welcome - and camra card check . Good selection of cask ales - football / rugby on large screens . On Saturday night a fish seller came round / havent seen that for years!.

Proper boozer with choice of real ales and discreet TVs for major sporting events.

A bit farty but an otherwise nice pub! One of the few places in Beckenham still serving Sherry!

Proper old school pub that specialises in real ale and doesn’t do food. A rare find these days. Nice outdoor covered area with heaters; sport is shown on the TVs but not intrusively. The inside has a nice quiet atmosphere and looks to be proper local regulars. Nice staff; would definitely recommend for beers but food wise its just crisps and nuts so make sure you plan for food elsewhere.

Lovely pub. Great bar staff and atmosphere

Great pub, good beer's and atmosphere, landlord and staff are great 👍🏼

Good staff and a pleasure to go there

Nice cosy pub, staff are friendly and Netty is lovley and really helpful, also show sports

What a wonderful, quirky little pub. Lovely cheerful barmaid providing great service. An outdoor area runs along the length of the pub with direct access to and from the High Street with a mural featuring David Bowie at the other end. The Guinness was excellent as was the Tribute.

Great traditional pub. Sadly, they have had to raise their prices, like most others.

Seems like a nice pub for locals to enjoy a night out.

Excellent small pub in the centre of Beckenham. Good selection of well-kept real ale. Plenty of TV screens to watch sport. Outside seating area as well. Recommended

Lovely Pub ,friendly staff and great beer 🍻🍻.....

Great little pub with a lovely beer garden. The staff were very friendly and welcoming

Good local pub. Great beer looked after properly and served as it should be. Charming and engaging staff. Has Tayto crisps!

Oh my gawdddd. What a night. I haven’t had service like this in the 43 years of life. Don’t know the bar maids name, but she had lovely piggy tails. She was so friendly and very accommodating, as I have a speech impediment and she knew exactly what I wanted. She was kind, approachable, funny and very very helpful. A true asset in every sense. Thankyou so so much, brilliant!!!!

Good all round pub quality beer

Great big sign up,outside. No cash card only.Bloody insulting.My cash was spent elsewhere. How dare they insult people by refusing the national currency.

Old school boozer with a larger than life size spiderman on the wall

Lovely, well decorated and friendly pub, with lots of outdoor space/seating and screens to watch sport.

Great venue, little outside area to sit and watch the TVs with ur beer to hand ,staff very helpful and polite

Quirky, good beer. Some hot snacks would be nice and miss the sofas

A proper pub, with real ale (take your camra card) and sport

Great authentic pub. Personable

Friendly. Had a nice pint while watching the football. Would have liked a choice of non- alcoholic beers, but can't complain. Recommend.

Good music and nice bar staff and good WiFi

Met up with somecold friends here and hadn't been there for ages. Its so lovely. Cosy and friendly and a joy to see our lovely Annie. In fact all the bar staff were brilliant. Highly recommend

A good beer drinkers pub. Plenty of choice (they do have a larger) with a good up and coming list.

A local. Good beer. Regulars. Footie. Space inside and out. Some characters but a pub with little character. Fine on balance.

Excellent pub with an interesting guest and ales that are well looked after.

They no longer take cash. Best avoided

Lovely pub Lovely staff Red Stripe on draft!

Goods staff & services but no food

They showed rugby game on television in back

A fantastic pub, Landlady Kim runs a friendly efficient house, and supports real ale and music. What's not to like?

3 stars because it's a good pub with good atmosphere, but the NO CASH is a disgrace just buying into the gloabalist wet dream you lost a customer

Busy as local the Nov. 5th firework show had finished a little bit earlier. The Real Ale was in decent enough condition and that's what what mattered to me and those I was what.

Called in with a group of friends. Met by a particularly rude and unfriendly member of staff. (Female) Atmosphere dreadful… felt like we’d walked into a deep freeze. Left before ordering drinks… plenty of other lovely places for a drink on Beckenham high street.

Rude and miserable staff! Too many other establishments out there that are welcoming, friendly and polite - but this is not one of them!!!

It's been a while since I've been here, but the bar staff remain fantastic. It's great that more has been made of the outside space too. Will definitely be back.

I liked the outdoor side seating area and staff were lovely

Really nice outdoor area, nice staff. One of the nicer places in Beckenham to go for a drink.

Had a wonderful pint of cider, served by wonderful lady with great customer service skills - I will return.

Quiet pub with good beer. Unfortunately, another card only place now.

Good beer in a well established local pub. I should go more often.

It's a decent enough pub but I wouldn't seek it out if I were not in the area

Great pub old school customers all cheerful Staff are friendly and polite

Excellent Beckenham pub with excellent ales. Lovely friendly and efficient staff. Also has comfortable covered outside seating. Thoroughly recommend 10 out of 10.

No mask, No entry! Whether you're exempt or not! Didn't realise government enforcers worked behind the bar at the bricklayers! Landlady total jobs worth, and about as much common sense as a bowl of mash potato!

Very friendly pub nice staff atmosphere is good

A nice place to relax in and enjoy a cold beer.

Very friendly staff. Shame they don't serve food

Unacceptable discrimination from bar staff. I was denied access for not wearing a face covering, despite telling the staff I'm exempt for medical reason and showing them my exemption badge. I was told this was company policy and could not come in. All I can say is that I'm glad I was made aware of such malpractice, unfair treatment, and complete disregard for disability and discrimination laws before I got to spend a single penny at said company. Needless to say I will not return.

Very good staff, very nice and attentive. Thank you all! There's also a nice terrace on the side that can be covered. It is very pleasant.

Friendly and comfortable pub in Beckenham with pleasant outside seating area at the side. Excellent range of beers at very reasonable prices!

Will not return. Experienced blatant racism in the pub by “locals/regulars” whilst watching the England vs Romania game. Disgusting and horrible experience

Went for birthday. Used to visit regularly. Instead of welcoming back, as per earlier reviews, staff were horrible. They were rude, unhelpful, tried to sit us under low hanging pots below the top of our heads, then under leaking guttering and drainpipe. The maintenance has always been poor but running water over your seats and table???? How can the staff not know that's clearly unacceptable. Walked out and went to another pub. So glad we did. They couldn't have done more for us. No customer loyalty, whatsoever. I will never set foot in there again.

First visit and definitely the last Rude and long waits for drinks

Nice pub, friendly, good outdoor space.

Excellent Covid-19 procedures in place including a one way system. Plenty of tables up the side, partially covered and some with heaters under the tables. The service is off course table service due to current restrictions. Service was quick and friendly and the beer, a pint of proper job ipa was in great nick

We did not book as we could not find an option on the pub's website. When we arrived, there were a number of free tables and one of the staff informed us in a rather surly manner to sit at the front as the tables at the side were all booked. We accepted this with good grace so that we could spend an evening there. However, after 15 minutes we appeared to have been ignored and no one came to take an order. We therefore decided to leave. I have been a great supporter of getting hospitality back up and running post lockdown to save businesses and jobs. It therefore saddens me to have received such poor service. There is a limit to the extent that customers will accept Covid as an excuse for poor service. Eventually they will, especially where pubs are concerned decide that buying drinks in the supermarket and drinking at home is easier and cheaper.

Decent, beer, football, outdoor seating. Covid safe.

Best pub best staff in the whole of south London

First visit for many years, very good considering the Covid situation.

Have tried this pub a number of times and it's always tough getting served – mostly because the (unhelpful) staff blatantly prioritise regulars at the bar – but having given it a final try, it's clear things have got worse post-lockdown. Having stood for ages because there were no signs explaining their 'system', we were told to take a seat as it was table service. We then waited 15 minutes as regulars walked up to the bar and were served, before deciding to leave for the final time. There are far better pubs in the area, even if they are (unsurprisingly) busier.

Lovely traditional pub from the outside which is full of character and lovely hanging baskets! Staff on the other hand are abrupt and rude. Inside, the pub needs doing up as it has remained the same for at least 35 years. Also needs cleaning. Once inside you must feel like you want to leave to be honest.
