About Bricklayers Arms
A traditional high-street pub providing a friendly welcome to a clientele of all ages, including families and dogs. The open plan L-shaped bar has wooden flooring with plenty of tables and a snug room at the rear. The interior décor has cream walls with wooden panelling along with old photographs of Beckenham, a piano and more eclectic items including an old petrol pump and a super-life size Spider Man stuck on one wall. There is an open log fire in winter and a covered outdoor seating area with heaters and even a TV screen.
The changing guest ales often reflect customers' recommendations (a suggestions box is available for feedback). Occasional beer festivals are held. CAMRA members receive a discount on real ale purchases. Local branch Community Pub of the Year 2016.
Live sport fixtures are shown and the pub hosts a variety of entertainment. Live music is popular with both local and visiting bands playing here. A board advertises the live music events.
The pub sign shows the coats of arms of the Worshipful Company of Tylers and Bricklayers (as granted in 1569).

A proper, old-fashioned pub with immaculately kept ales and friendly staff and locals. The giant Spider-Man on the wall is a bit out of keeping with the decor, but certainly creates a distinctive look! There are several screens dotted around the pub for sporting events. Please note that there is no food available, except for traditional bar snacks. But you don’t go to The Bricklayers to eat; you go to have good beer and conversation.

Nice little cosy pub. Pet friendly, card only. Great for a quick pint before a movie (right across odeon).

Still the best pint of real ale in Beckenham High Street. Not just the quality, but the variety.
