Bricklayers Arms

Absolutely cracking pub only a street away from the hustle and bustle of tourist alley. The lounge bar is my favourite and my usual go to if I'm in the area. If I'm honest I probably shouldn't write this review and continue to gatekeep a quiet pub with good beers but hey ho.

The two bars close at 11pm sharp!!! Friendly Staff on a Friday night ;) and good food too, I recommend the Gammon&Egg and Fish & Chips! Lovely, little, cosy Samuel Smith pub in a quiet road by Tottenham Court Rd/Oxford St. I suggest to visit!

Lovely pub just behind Oxford Street with loads of pints below £4. Taddy lager is £3.90, there's another for £3.50 and they have a 2.8% Alpine lager for £2.80. Can't argue with those prices. Went on a Saturday and it was pretty quiet, but I imagine it's a lot busier on weekdays. Nice room upstairs with a log fire, but we thought the decor and fairly silent atmosphere did make it feel a bit like you were in a country hotel. We went to another Sam Smiths later that evening (aforementioned prices) and it had exactly the same quiet country hotel bar vibe. Signs and coasters everywhere rather aggressively advertising the no phones policy, although it didn't seem too strictly enforced whilst we were in either pub. I think it's a pretty good idea and it made us notice how often you automatically reach for your phone without particularly wanting or needing to. It didn't seem a massive problem to be honest, but perhaps just change the way the policy is advertised/enforced, as it seems to be upsetting a lot of people.
