Service is usually good and food ain't half bad neither. It is a little to hustle and bustle for me but, if you like lively atmospheres to dine and drink in then this is a good place to kick off the weekend.

As locals go this one is a little bit further down the street from the main area in Pudsey town…read more That's not a criticism as such, it just means meandering that little bit further for some alcoholic refreshment is all. I was a bit dubious of the Masons Arms, I must say, and for more than one reason. The most glaring reason was the name, 'masons'; it's not a great thing to associate a place of sociability with a secretive and somewhat elusive band of people - whether you see them as highly suspicious or simply outdated, it's not the most welcoming name for a pub in my opinion! Nonetheless, this shouldn't prevent one from enjoying a lovely pint! Although it's not exactly my style of pub the Masons Arms is perfectly adequate and serves as a reasonable drinking hole for many a customer. They serve all the usual drinks, lagers, beers, spirits, wines and Tetleys - as advertised by the huge banner on their front. They also have a disco every Thursday (random day, but hey) and a disco and kareoke night on Fridays and Saturdays. Happy hours are from 11-2pm Mon-Sun (not including Weds) and 11-3pm on a Wednesday. That's like, well early for me, but should you need to start early you know where to go!

For a start it's a nice building and is done out well. The reason I like it though is because it's got quite a bit to offer. They are really doing their bit for the local and underground music scene and still have live gigs on most weekends. That has to be commended so I am. You'll get everything from blues to folk. Worth a punt even if the genre isn't essentially your thing. Next up the beer is good. Oh yes, we're talking good casks and local too. Fancy a sip from a Leeds, Skipton, Sheffield, York, Ossett or Saltaire brewer? Then no problemo, my amigo. You'll also find Tetley's and John Smiths too. Aint half bad lad. As for the grub, it's proper pub food here. We're talking roasts, burgers and lighter bites at lunch too. Never going to win prizes for originality but you've gotta love some pub food as it should be at times. Don't be fooled, this is a pub. It's not a bar but we like it for it.

At some point or other you can do all of these here and you'll always have the option of some great ales. Black Sheep is one of the regular ales which I rarely see past but there are normally 3 guest ales too. It can be very busy in the Vault when there's a game on but the bar is usually well staffed. The food is good, very traditional but good and there's plenty of room to sit down if you're eating.
