A picturesque building just a few minutes away from Tottenham Court Road. Downstairs I was not quite sure whether it is my place, but sitting down on a sofa upstairs I felt like at home. And no: I don't own a pub.
We were there with a group of about 15 students and had great fun to talk and to have a beer. Very relaxing place I would return to! -

Beautiful pub that stays true to its name, with lots of wall hangings on the art and craft of bricklaying. Before 6 the bartender on duty wasn't very helpful -- couldn't even make tea -- and the upstairs wasn't open. After 6, go find a nice couch upstairs; until it gets crowded, it's got to be one of the quietest pubs in London. Blissful to have no background music for when you want to talk to the people you're with without losing your voice. Food was well priced though not so well seasoned.

We had a pint of cider.
Upstairs in front of the fire:was great to relax after a long day.
Simple easy and very homely.
The facade is simply amazing... Worth a visit if your into English architecture -

I was making my way to Charlotte Street for dinner, and noticed a charming-looking pub tucked away on a side street. My husband and I decided to wander in for a drink and some nibbles.
The ground floor bar was quite small, and in dire need of a refresh. The bartender directed us upstairs, which was a larger and more recently (okay, circa 1990s) refurbished. This was around 6 PM on a Saturday, and the clientele appeared to be mostly students. The upstairs area had sofas and tables, and generally looked cozy if just a little bit shabby. The bartender was friendly, although the wine list left something to be desired. This is definitely more of a beer and ale sort of place. We ordered some chips, which were greasy and undercooked. Then, the busboy swooped through and cleared our wineglasses before we had emptied them. Major faux pas there.
In summary, I wouldn't go back. It's an OK neighborhood hangout with inexpensive beer, but not my kind of place. -

I probably would struggle to give a Sam Smith's pub less than 4 stars no matter what the venue, but the Bricklayer's Arms is totally deserving.
Minutes away from Tottenham Court Road, it's one of the few value for money bars around. The bar staff are nice and happy. So are the merry clientele. Sure you can't order something fancy, but the beers are great, and you'll grow to love the look of surprise on a punter's face when they get change from a tenner.
Head upstairs, bag yourself a chair, and let the working week wash away.
