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.

Recently refurbed pub half way up Bell Vue , you enter into the bar , there is an alcove to the right and the bar then runs along the right hand side , the pub extends through a knocked out wall across what appears to be an old hallway into a plusher area with more modern dark brown furniture , this then leads round to another area with a pool table and then out to a beer patio , there are several large TVs dotted around showing sport .
Usual keg taps and three on handpull , London Pride , Shropshire Gold and a very nice Robinsons Green Bullet , service was good and the locals friendly .
Its a much improved pub this well worth calling in if in this part of town
