Brickmakers Arms, Coventry

Struggling to work out how to get past the footpath closures of HS2, I thought I would repair at the nearby Railway Pub - closed and I cannot find it on here. Fear not, this is just up the road and fully open. Quite hansome exterior - a little sparse internally, with several tables setup for dining. The one thing of note was two rows of sofas setup in an alcove in front of TV screen. Very cinema-esque. Nice beer garden. Butty Bach and Doombar on cask - but with only ladies who lunch on processco and cokes - and it being the hottest day of the year - I played safe with a > £5 birra moretti. Friednly landlady.

Attractive pub, set back from the road a bit, with timbers (whether functional or not) between the dark brown brickwork and a wide front porch. The plainly furnished compact bar is accessed from the right-hand entrance, but the other door initially leads to what is now a side room with the larger lounge located up several steps at the back. Tidy wooden furniture in the latter but the decor is rather lighter than one might expect from the façade. Three handpumps on the lounge counter, offering Marston's EPA, Landlord and Dragon's Fire from Lees (£3.70).

What a wonderful owner!! Complimentary shots for all to warm our bones - such a fun friendly bunch
