Bricklayers Arms, Poole

Backstreet pub overlooking the church opposite. Enter via lovely wood and glass lobby porchway into a fairly homely main bar. Pub is an elongated L-shape and the front room is decorated with various tasteful objects d’art, fireplace and some chesterfields. To the rear is a far more mundane extension. Four ales on and not a particularly exciting selection in Doom Bar, 2x Ringwood and a somewhat more inspirational Hop Back Summer Lightning, sadly this was a bit thin on condition and died in the glass. Judging by reviews elsewhere this selection doesn’t seem to change much. Tidy enough place but no great shakes on my visit compared to some of the lavished praise elsewhere.
