The Bricklayer’s Arms in Fulham

Ah, The Bricklayer’s Arms – what a lovely little spot it is, tucked away in Putney and full of that authentic pub spirit we've all come to cherish. From the moment you step in, you're greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere that mixes its nearly 200-year history with some smart modern touches, making it feel fresh yet timeless. The real ales and craft beers are spot on, with plenty of well-kept options that had me coming back for another round, and the staff are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and ensuring everyone feels welcome, whether you're popping in solo or with a group. It's brilliant for dog lovers too, as they make space for your furry friends, adding to that community feel that's so hard to find these days. On the flip side, it's a bit of a shame about the lack of CAMRA discounts, as that could put off the more discount-savvy beer enthusiasts, but honestly, the quality on tap more than makes up for it. All in all, if you're after a proper pub experience in south west London, this one's a winner – I'd say give it a go and see for yourself; you might just find your new favourite local.
