Property details
The Bricklayers Arms sits proudly on a corner plot in the heart of Millbrook, a vibrant and well-established neighbourhood in Southampton. Surrounded by a large community of local housing, the pub benefits from steady footfall and a loyal residential customer base. The city itself is home to a thriving student population and the renowned Premier League club, Southampton FC, bringing energy, visitors, and a lively atmosphere throughout the year.
The pub is divided into two well-defined trading areas. The main bar area serves as the social hub for the local community and is enjoyed daily by regulars. This space features a pool table, dartboards and a television showing Sky Sports, making it ideal for casual gatherings and live sporting events. The lounge bar is a bright, open-plan space with a large bar servery and ample seating. With its own separate entrance, it also functions as a versatile events room, perfectly suited to private functions, celebrations and community activities. A single main bar conveniently services both areas of the pub. Each trading area benefits from its own dedicated ladies' and gents facilities.
Externally, the pub offers parking for up to five vehicles, with additional on-street parking available, although most customers typically arrive on foot from the surrounding area. To the rear, an enclosed beer garden provides a welcoming outdoor space with wooden benches, festoon lighting and an external TV.
The private accommodation is in good order and consists of three bedrooms, an office, a bathroom, a sitting room and a kitchen.

Experienced Operator
Trading style
The Bricklayers operates as a welcoming, community-focused pub at the heart of its local area. The business is built around a strong core of loyal regulars, with the main bar acting as the social hub for day-to-day trade, live sport, and traditional pub games. Sky Sports, pool, and darts drive consistent footfall throughout the week, encouraging repeat visits. The lounge bar provides an excellent opportunity to diversify income through private hire, small functions, community meetings, and celebrations. Its separate entrance and flexible layout allow events to run independently from the main bar, maximising trading potential across both areas simultaneously.
The BDM is seeking an experienced operator or couple who will be hands-on, community-driven, and thrive on building strong local relationships and creating a welcoming, inclusive environment for all customers. They will understand the importance of maintaining the pub’s position as the social hub of the community, engaging daily with regulars while proactively attracting new customers through consistent live sport, pub games, and a well-planned weekly rhythm of activity.
