Lovely friendly pub, both staff and customers. Very welcoming, "regulars" very chatty. A proper boozer. will keep going back again and again.

Have to echo Gristy's words on this. A proper, very old-fashioned back street boozer with some rather dour regulars supping pints silently alone at the bar on a Sunday lunchtime. The beer was first class stuff and interesting to see the fine UK brewed Moravka lager there as well.

Yes, it is hard to find and the route in can offer some challenges in terms of the local (very mixed) inhabitants, but it's all worth it when you get there. Excellent range of beers, welcoming and friendly staff, old-fashioned multi-room layout, decent jukebox and the all the feeling of a real, proper backstreet boozer. Visited at around 8.30 on a Saturday night, but very quiet for all that. Superb, regardless

I can't add much to what's already be said albeit previous comments were made a year or more ago. Nothing's changed (although I didn't have a problem finding it)! Went in for a pint and ended up trying all four excellent Falstaff beers on offer at the time. Well worth a visit or two.

A real classic, very friendly and with good own-brew in a classic multi-room pub (bit like the Sair in Linthwaite) - VERY hard to find, even with my Derby A-Z
|
proper pub,proper ale,proper folk,not the cleanest best kept pub but its good to spend some time in drinking excellent ale.
|
Fabulous backstreet boozer completely unspoilt, great banter , great hosts, great beer and a strong suggestion of ghosts.Must be worth searching out in anybodys books.

Only just off Normanton Road - but you have to know it's there! Once you do find it, you will be glad you did. Their own beers are very nice, although maybe not quite hoppy enough for my taste and are well worth searching out. Very friendly on both sides of the bar - we were made to feel very welcome and only departed reluctantly.

Brewpub in a back street off Normanton Road. Serves all of Falstaff's excellent ales in superb condition. Plenty of friendly banter with the locals

You'll find the Falstaff off Normanton Rd, about 20 mins stroll from the city centre or 5 mins on the bus. It's not a posh pub so don't bother if you want pine floors and minimalism. It's a basic 2 roomed local with a cheery fire in Winter. The locals are friendly and chatty and the beer is wonderful, brewed by the adjoining Falstaff Brewery. You'll probably drop in to try a few beers and end up staying for the afternoon.
