Bricklayers Arms, Shrewsbury

Strongers . left this review about Bricklayers Arms

The Bricklayers Arms is a Joules pub with a large front patio with picnic tables, and a substantial wooden smoking shelter, that sit behind a waist high brick wall. Inside is bricklaying and mason paraphernalia on the walls and a central L-shaped wood panelled serving counter that supports a premium keg range alongside Carling and two banks of 5 identical hand pumps that were drawing Joule’s Blonde, Pale, Slumbering Monk, Mosaic and Sipa. The central wooden floored bar area has a mix of high tables and stools and standard height tables and chairs in the windows either side of the entrance and a couple of booths along the rear wall to the right of the counter. Up the right-hand side of the pub behind an internal wall with an inset burner is the Mayor’s Parlour that is a tile floored seating area with a large rug and ‘The Cabinet’ snug on the rear wall. To the left of the bar area is a larger tile floored games area with high tables, shuffleboard in the centre and a dartboard on the rear wall. I thought the two barmen on duty were very friendly and the locals of mixed ages all seemed nice enough. I liked it in here and would love it to be my local but alas it’s 250 miles from my house.
