The once painfully trendy Bricklayers Arms appears to have undergone something of a turnaround and is now much closer to the good old boozer it once was. Garish neon signage aside, the Bricklayers has a friendlier, seedy, unkempt air about it nowadays. There are no longer the strident, trying-too-hard, in-your-face crowds that put us off from coming here in the past - we suspect they've moved on to pastures new, or grown up. There's still a good selection of ales on the hand pumps and plenty of other decent stuff to try if bitter is not your tipple of choice - the beer was always one of the reasons for visiting this pub. And, whilst the bar staff didn't go out of their way to charm us, at least we got our drink quickly, which is also another improvement. Even on a recent late weekday evening visit, the wanker quotient was commendably low and the ambience accordingly good. Overall, the Bricklayers Arms is once more a pub we can recommend.

How to find the Bricklayer's Arms pub

Old Street: head east to Great Eastern Street, but go down Rivington Street almost as soon as you reach. Walk along Rivington Street for a short while and you'll soon start to hear it. Just head towards the hubbub. Liverpool Street: leave by the Bishopsgate exit and head up towards Shoreditch, turn left up Great Eastern Street and then right up Curtain Road. Turn left at the junction with Rivington Street and you'll see the pub on your right.
