About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
The Bricklayers sits by Colchester North station, making it an easy first/last stop for match-going fans arriving by rail. Away-day guides explicitly include it among pubs for visiting supporters. Inside, the saloon bar has two large TVs and the pub advertises Sky & BT/TNT Sports, so you can catch early kick-offs or post-match highlights. Food is served at set times (midday into the evening), useful for pre-match meals. Altogether, its station-side location, away-fan inclusion, live-sport screens and food service make it a practical, football-friendly choice on Colchester United matchdays.

Under new management and refurbished. Smart, modern feel to the place, with that vintage kind of pub vibe. Still has a good selection of lagers and real ales. Staff have been friendly and inviting, as they always were. Serves food now throughout the day. Just tucked into salt and pepper squid and a bacon burger myself and was really pleased I did. Limited menu, but that should help keep it simple and good. As a commuter and a local I'm really pleased that I can now have a pub meal on the way home, along with a decent pint (or two). Still manages to keep that pub feeling even with serving food. Still a drinkers pub at its heart. Looking forward to my next visit.
Great selection of drinks and food. Looks very nice in here with a small beer garden and undercover smoking area. Didn't eat this time but I definitely will next time.
Busy football pub , good atmosphere and so much cheaper than London. If going to Colchester Utd make this your port of call.
Amazing pub with plenty of space and really acceptable prices.
Entered car park, read signs decided not to park yet was issued for a fine for being in the car park for exactly 2 mins and 36 seconds. Do not use this establishment. Deserves to go bust operating a racket.
