The Chairman left this review about Bricklayers Arms

Now under new management, after the previous licensee retired after 38 years in charge! Only a month in to the new regime but there has been little change so far apart from some seating re-arrangement and more emphasis in using the garden, where more furniture has been provided along with a rather large gazebo (or is it a pergola?) to provide shelter. With the new landlady having a pet dog, the pub is now more dog friendly than in the past. The most important part of any pub is, of course, the beer and both the range and the quality have been maintained, with no suggestion that the South Bedfordshire CAMRA Pub of the Year award was given to the wrong pub.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Bricklayers Arms

14 years on since my last visit to Luton, where my favourite pub had been the Black Horse, my return yielded nothing above average until my final pub of the day, the Bricklayers Arms. Finally my faith in pubs was restored.

The pub is sited very close to Luton railway station in the Hightown area of the town. It's a fabulous alehouse with a main bar at the front and two further smaller rooms beyond.

Locals were engaged in good conversation. Although a couple of elderly folks nearly came to blows during a discussion around Covid vaccinations. The landlord was on hand to make sure no punches were thrown!

The pubs has lots of character and seemingly loads of characters. As an onlooker, I quite enjoyed the free entertainment.

5 real ales were on - Oakham JHB, Deeply Vale Equilibrium, Leighton Buzzard Vimy Bomber, Slater's Amarillo & Muirhouse Magnum Mild. Two Weston's Rosie's Pig ciders were also available - Rhubarb Cider and Raspberry & Cucumber Cider.

My mild was my favourite drink of the day and this was my favourite pub in Luton by a country mile. When I'm next in Luton, I need to remind myself to head straight here.

This is a great old fashioned boozer which on my visit sold five cask ales.
It's a small place with the bar and a wooden floored room at the front and another small room further back with a dart board that appeared to be blocked by a large sherry or wine barrel.
On my visit the beers were Bateman's XB, Tring Ramscoat, Oakham JHB, York Minster and Nottingham Rock Mild. I went for the Mild (£3.10) which was in great nick and went down a treat. On my Thursday lunchtime visit I don't recall seeing any TV screens but I may have just been wishing them away.
