The Chairman left this review about The Masons Arms

Had a brief visit here and enjoyed a very good pint of Rudgate Jorvik Blonde. It's a moderately sized pub with a front public bar and an odd shaped lounge at the back. Whilst disappointed at the loss of the Market Place Alehouse next door (now being converted to a Peaky Blinders them bar - rolls eyes) this was a pleasant surprise.

Graham Coombs left this review about The Masons Arms

Claiming to be the oldest pub in Doncaster, this place has been steadily refurbished with a modern twist but retaining a fairly traditional feel. The Tap Room at the front is green painted and cosy; behind there are several other rooms and a courtyard garden which continues through to the Rum Rooms behind, developed by the jovial West Indian owner from old outbuildings. 6 handpumps keep a changing range of beers, but always including TT Landlord and a dark brew (on this occasion an excellent Titanic Plum Porter), joined on this visit by Ilkley Blonde. Needless to say a wide selection of rums is available.

The main bar area of the Masons, named the Tap Room, is found through a door to the right of the entrance where banquettes running under the front windows are faced by the serving counter. This is a very thin space, but it is the best part of the pub so I imagine it fills up quickly during busy times. I was the only customer during a recent early Tuesday evening visit so I got to spread out while watching muted Journey to the Centre of the Earth on the small television. I had a nose through the back bar to see more seating that is served by a small portion of counter, but I didn’t investigate the rest of the pub on this occasion. Standard and premium keg were available alongside Camden Pale and three of the six hand pumps were in operation drawing Titanic’s Plum Porter, Rudgate’s Jorvik and TT Landlord. I’ll pop back in next time I’m passing at a busier time to see it’s like when there’s more than one customer.
