Greetings to all Gwulo folk
My Brother, Mike Beazley, was with HSBC in HK from 1970 to 1986
He now lives in New Zealand, and is reviving his diaries .... he found an entry where he ws meeting me and my Chinese girlfriend at the Bricklayers Arms in1983,.
My only memory is of a pub in Causeway Bay not far from the Excelsior Hotel, Patterson street ?
can anyone advise ?
There are Bricklayers Arms all round the world if you google it, but not Hong Kong !
Ofcourse 1983 was pre internet days !
A pint on offer for the first correct response !

As far as I recall, the Bricklayers Arms was in Minden Avenue, Kowloon.
Bricklayers Arms
Paul,
Thanks for that - you may well be correct. I was here in '72 when the first "British" pub opened... the Bull and Bear...and my memory is pretty good... but I am amazed that when I google "Bricklayers arms Hong Kong" Nothing comes up !
Still hoping someone remembers it, as my brother put it in his diary at the time... unless he was drunk !
Bricklayer's Arms
Zetland Hall ?

There wasa pub in the area called the Shakespeare Arms, it lasted until the early 2000s.
Mike Beazley and The Shakespeare Pub
I knew Mike well. Good squash player who played for my darts team, originally called The Pits but renamed Phoenix in the early 1980s in the hope that we would rise from the ashes! The Shakespeare was a small pub and a darts league venue at that time. Feel free to email me for more info and give my best to Mike. I still live in HK.

In response to Paul Hamblins suggestion that the Bricklayers Arms was in Minden Avenue, I think that was the Blacksmiths Arms.
