Strongers . left this review about Masonic Arms

The Masonic Arms has a tile floored front bar with banquettes up the left-hand wall and a rear bar with more banquettes that sit to the left of a fireplace with burner. A dartboard hides behind and mirror and there’s another board to the right where a pool table can also be found. Televisions throughout were playing World Cup football via BBC during a recent midweek evening visit. I spotted three hand pumps, Wadworth’s 6X was off which left Doom Bar and Bass as the cask options. The service was polite, but I think I’ll leave this pub to the locals in future.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Masonic Arms

I wasn't planning to call in here, but it looked like quite an interesting corner building as we walked past. Unfortunately, the partly opened-out interior turns out to be more of a sports-bar type, with various TV screens in the two seating areas and a pool table in the back part. On the other hand, I found three of the four handpumps in use, offering Doom Bar, London Pride and Shropshire Gold from Salopian (£1.55, half).

Never take tips from taxi drivers: ours mentioned, on the way to the Prince of Wales, that this was a better pub: it is not. What it is is a sports bar with half a dozen large TV screens and a lively atmosphere on a Saturday lunchtime. I was distressed to see young lads sitting on the pool table and placing their pints on the playing surface. On the plus side, there were three hand pumps: I went for the St Austell Tribute which was OK, but I didn't stay long as this is not my sort of pub; at least, not on a Saturday afternoon it's not.
